- ACC and Adani Foundation rejuvenate a water source in Tikri, increasing storage from 3,000 to 70,000 litres.
- Seven farmers are now able to irrigate farmland during the Rabi season with improved water availability.
- Local farmer Harinder Singh Thakur shares how the intervention has enhanced his wheat yield and future prospects, adding Rs. 15,000 to his income.
Himachal Pradesh, 14 July 2025: ACC, the cement and building material company of the diversified Adani Portfolio, along with the Adani Foundation, has enabled a significant water management breakthrough in Tikri village under the Dhounkothi-Panjgain Watershed Project. A dysfunctional water source was revived with a newly constructed tank, expanding its capacity from just 3,000 litres to 70,000 litres—ensuring a steady water supply for irrigation and daily needs.
Before the intervention, residents faced acute water shortages during summers, with the limited supply drying up and affecting both farming and daily life. Farmer Harinder Singh Thakur recalls how irrigation was nearly impossible during the Rabi season.
Today, with the new tank and a rejuvenated step-well nearby, he’s irrigating 1 hectare of wheat and planning to grow cash crops and vegetables to strengthen his family’s security, with an additional income of Rs. 15,000. Harinder is among the seven farmers in Tikri who have benefitted through this rejuvenation project.
This timely intervention showcases ACC and the Adani Foundation’s commitment to long-term water security and sustainable agriculture. By working closely with local stakeholders, they’re helping farming communities thrive even in the face of climate and resource challenges.
