Sankalpa Rural Development Society , a voluntary organization founded by Mr. Sikandar Meeranayak, fellow of the Deshpande foundation in 2008 and registered under Karnataka societies act, 1960. SRDS spread in North – West Karnataka region. The organization has experience in rain water conservation practices through bore well recharge. It has reached 106 families and 7 educational institutions by rain water harvesting structure with three programs completed and two programs are ongoing.
Depletion of natural resources is one of the root causes of the poverty in rural India. There is a direct link between the environment and poverty. Due to population growth and demand for food production, underground water is rapidly depleted through the digging of more bore wells which lead to detrimental consequences. Ground water is one of the contributing economic factors for rural farmers. Recognizing this fact, SRDS is focusing on the rain water harvesting for rural / urban areas through bore well recharge, innovative roof top rain water harvesting structures and percolation ponds.
