Farm
Mohali, February 20, 2026: Swaraj Tractors, part of the Mahindra Group has been honoured with the prestigious Golden Peacock Award for its sustained commitment to strengthening rural communities and enabling inclusive growth across India’s villages.
The award has been conferred for Swaraj’s flagship Integrated Village Development initiative — a holistic, community-led programme designed to enable sustainable rural transformation. Built on detailed village-level assessments and close engagement with local stakeholders, the initiative aligns development priorities with the real needs of rural households.
Through an integrated and participatory model, the programme enhances access to quality education, improves water security, promotes environmental stewardship and enables income generation through skill development and entrepreneurship. A strong emphasis on capacity building equips women, youth and farmers with the capabilities and confidence to lead development within their own communities.
Over the past three years, the initiative has driven measurable socio-economic impact across more than 30 villages in Punjab and Haryana by strengthening local institutions, fostering community ownership, and enabling convergence with government programs.
Key interventions include the renovation of over 15 village ponds and the construction of 23 rooftop rainwater harvesting structures in government schools, supporting water conservation and ecological restoration. The program has improved learning outcomes for more than 5,000 students across 30+ government schools through need-based infrastructure support and targeted educational interventions, while empowering over 6,000 women through institutional strengthening and enhanced access to government schemes. In parallel, it has skilled more than 2,000 women and persons with disabilities, enhancing employability and livelihood opportunities.
Speaking on the recognition, Gaganjot Singh, CEO, Swaraj Division, M&M Ltd. said: “At Swaraj we are committed to enabling progress in the communities we serve. Guided by Group Mahindra’s purpose of Driving Positive Change we work alongside rural households to create opportunities that are inclusive, sustainable and community led. This recognition reaffirms our belief that empowered communities are the foundation of lasting rural transformation.”
The Golden Peacock Awards are among the most respected global recognitions for excellence in organisational practices and impact, and Swaraj’s selection followed a rigorous multi-stage evaluation process.
