ENVIRONMENT CONSERVATION – JAL SAMRIDDHI With climate change intensifying water stress across India, Mahindra’s Jal Samriddhi initiative focuses on creating long-term water security for farming communities. The programme supports the creation and rejuvenation of water harvesting structures, promotes soil and water conservation techniques, and encourages crop diversification, strengthening livelihoods and ecosystems. In FY25, the initiative covered 117 villages in 7 states, building community capacity through hands-on training and local partnerships. Notably, a long-term collaboration with NABARD in the Kadwa river basin (Nashik district) drives systemic transformation in a water-scarce zone, bringing together science, sustainability, and social mobilisation. The outcomes go beyond infrastructure. Jal Samriddhi has helped improve irrigation potential, raise groundwater levels, and reduce dependency on erratic rainfall. For thousands of farmers, this has provided an opportunity to adopt climate-resilient agriculture and effective water management approaches. FY25 IMPACT SNAPSHOT • 611 water harvesting structures created or renovated. • 3,758.18 lakh litres of water harvesting potential enabled. • 1,942.2 hectares brought under improved irrigation. • 15,173.45 hectares covered under cumulative water management. • 48,781+ farmers and community members benefitted. EMPLOYEE VOLUNTEERING Our employee volunteering platforms, ESOPS (Employee Social Options) and MySeva (Individual social responsibility), inspire individuals across the Group to contribute meaningfully to the communities around them. From organising health camps and cleanliness drives to conducting digital literacy sessions and supporting local schools, our employees actively lead and participate in initiatives that reflect our values. These voluntary efforts are driven by personal passion and the shared belief that every act of service contributes to collective progress. The third edition of Mahindra Volunteering Day, held on 5th December 2024, mobilised thousands of volunteers across locations in a single day of purpose, partnership, and participation. Employee volunteering remains one of our strongest cultural levers, turning intent into impact and compassion into action.
