Supporting Government Schools with Clean Water and Better Education

Swaraj Tractors focused its efforts on improving infrastructure in government schools by setting up rooftop rainwater harvesting systems and distributing teaching-learning materials. These steps were taken to enhance the quality of education and to deal with two major rural issues, water scarcity and fluoride contamination.

A Swaraj spokesperson stated,

“The award acknowledges Swaraj Division’s impactful efforts in strengthening government schools in Jodhpur district during FY 2024-25, particularly through the installation of rooftop rainwater harvesting systems and provision of teaching-learning materials to enhance the quality of education.”

A Widespread Rural Development Program

This initiative is part of a larger community welfare program run in collaboration with Sarv Mangal Gramin Vikas Sansthan. It spans across 78 villages, 20 blocks, and 8 districts, focusing on:

The spokesperson further added,

“This honour reflects the Division’s unwavering commitment to sustainable development and its proactive efforts in addressing critical issues such as water scarcity and fluoride contamination, challenges that have long impacted rural Rajasthan.”
