EMPOWERING DESERT COMMUNITIES

Building self-reliant villages through innovation, education, and sustainable livelihoods.

The SBIF CONSERW: Jaldhara in Bikaner, Phalodi and Jaisalmer Districts Rajasthan initiative, supported by the SBI Foundation, reflects a continuous, community-driven process of water conservation in Rajasthan’s desert regions. It builds on traditional knowledge to restore water systems, protect grazing lands, and strengthen collective stewardship of natural resources. Sustained collaboration among communities, institutions, and public systems enables long-term resilience and ecological balance.

Resilience Boost

Reviving water systems improves resilience, livelihoods, and sustainability in desert communities facing scarcity.

Community Ownership

Community-led governance and youth engagement strengthen ownership and long-term water resource management outcomes.

Ecosystem Support

Restoring grazing lands and water bodies supports pastoral livelihoods and reduces environmental degradation risks.
