Tata Power, one of India?s largest integrated power companies, endeavours to promote the importance of a scientific approach to agricultural practices among local farmers in and around its project areas. In continuation with this philosophy, Tata Power initiated the sustainable agriculture programme under the ?Samridhi? initiative in 28 villages in the Maval and Karjat talukas, and a total of 1,194 farmers benefited.

With the onset of the rabi season, this programme assisted farmers by creating awareness on superior farming practices aimed at improving crop yield. It also guided farmers with the selection of the crop, seed treatment and the right techniques for sowing and cultivating seeds. As a vital part of its operations, Tata Power developed a sustainable package of practices for rabi crops and introduced new crops such as millets and new cash crops which are less labour-intensive and yield higher returns.
