In 1995, SFT embarked on its watershed journey in Chhotaudepur focusing on watershed development programs infusing hope and resilience among the tribal farmers. SFT visualized a strategy based on three core principles- arresting soil erosion through soil traps and farm bunds, recharging groundwater to elevate the water table, and ensuring the conjunctive use of water. The efforts strengthened farm-based livelihood, minimized forced migration among tribal communities and led to tangible benefits for households by improving agricultural productivity by providing assured irrigation facilities. We collaborate with multiple partners in the watershed programme.
