Farm Pond
Water-harvesting structures to increase farmers’ income, production, and food security
by addressing farmer concerns such as climate variability & lack of water storage.
Introduction
In this program, different sized farm ponds are constructed based on the demands and needs of farmers, making it a viable choice irrespective of the size of the farmlands. The aim of the Farm Ponds program has been to address farmer concerns—climate variability, lack of water storage, crop failure, and non-remunerative prices, among others.
The program has enhanced rainwater harvesting, allowing farmers to shift towards multiple cropping every year. In addition to generating between two to six times their income, farmers are also growing cash crops and short-duration vegetables. It has significantly improved the production, economic conditions, food security, and nutrition among farmers.
In 2020, the Farm Ponds program began implementing the financial model in collaboration with government and banking institutions. 1183 farm ponds have been built under this model and 329 Joint Liability Groups (JLG) have been formed, to engage the farmers. IMPACT Farm Ponds have started to improve the production, food security, and nutrition among farmers. We look forward to constructing more farm ponds in association with our partners and improving the socio-economic conditions of farmers and their families.

Technology For Scaling Farm Ponds
Technology will play a crucial role in sustainably scaling the Farm Pond program. The Rural Transformation Technology Centre (RTTC) developed by us is helping to streamline the operational and logistical management using satellite imagery to offer near real-time visibility of on-ground situations.
