Ambuja Cement Foundation has joined hands with HDFC Bank Parivartan for the second consecutive year to continue works under the Holistic Rural Development Program in Ambikapur, Chhattisgarh. The project aims to uplift the socio-economic condition of over 13000 people from 10 villages of Surguja district, via a variety of initiatives in water harvesting and efficiency, livestock management, women empowerment and infrastructure.
Speaking on the project extension, Pearl Tiwari, Director & CEO, Ambuja Cement Foundation said, “During the project’s first year, we addressed several key issues such as increasing women’s participation in village level decisions, reducing the skill gap amongst youth and tending to the depleting ground water level.
There is much more work to be done and so we are happy to extend our partnership with HDFC Bank Parivartan, to continue extending positive impacts to more and more rural households.”
