Ambuja Cement Foundation (ACF), the CSR arm of Ambuja Cements, has been recognised with the ‘Best Project Implementation Agency’ award by NABARD for its work in the Watershed Development Projects in surrounding areas of Darlaghat. This award ceremony was organised by NABARD in February during the State Credit Seminar 2022-23 in Himachal Pradesh. As water scarcity stood as a challenge in these areas, ACF determined that a watershed development project would be the most effective solution to the issues of soil erosion, eradication of green cover, and reduction in agricultural produce in the region. Neeraj Akhoury, CEO India Holcim and MD & CEO of Ambuja Cements Ltd. said, “As a socially responsible organisation, development and progress of underprivileged communities has always been an integral aspect of our core philosophy. We aim to tackle the water scarcity issue in the region through partnerships to improve the lives of people in these communities. This recognition bestowed upon us by NABARD will further strengthen our commitment to build sustainable solutions for communities and contribute towards circular economies of the future.”
