Through CSR we have executed a unique project named “Jaladhara” by which the acute problem of drinking water in tribal areas of Visakhapatnam district has been addressed. The flow of water from natural spring to storage tank is due to gravity and does not require any electrical power supply to operate. The supply is perennial so the water problem is solved permanently. The scheme was implemented in 3 phases under trying conditions in remote tribal areas of Araku, Paderu and Chintapalli. About 5320 people in 19 villages are benefitted with this project.
