As we mark World Earth Day 2025, it’s the perfect moment to spotlight the role of solar energy in transforming rural India—not just environmentally, but socially and economically as well. With climate change looming and traditional resources depleting, clean, alternate and renewable energy isn’t just an ideal—it’s a lifeline. Across villages in India, solar power is reshaping daily life, making communities more resilient, self-reliant, and future-ready.

When Ambuja Foundation, Ashok Leyland and Hinduja Foundation joined forces to improve the water situation in 5 villages of Alwar, Eastern Rajasthan, the men of the village denied that water was a problem. Tubewells used for irrigating crops had a 300-400 metre water accessibility and so they felt water was not a high priority.

Ambuja Foundation, in partnership with Indian Hotels Company (IHCL), have announced the Integrated Water Resource Development Project, an initiative aimed at combating water scarcity and soil salinization in the Gir forest and the coastal zones of Una and Gir Gadhada in Gujarat. This strategic collaboration will implement sustainable solutions that will positively impact the livelihoods of communities in the region.

Climate change is here. Beyond doing everything we can to slow the pace of global warming, there is a need to adapt to, so that we can protect ourselves, our livelihoods, and our communities. While the case for adaptation is clear, many communities who are most vulnerable to climate change are actually the least able to adapt - they are poor and in developing countries already struggling to provide the basics, like healthcare and education!

Something different is afoot in Gir Somnath. An area prone to salinity and water scarcity, villagers across 15 villages have come together with Ambuja Foundation to enhance their water literacy and security.

Ambuja Foundation organized a closed door event to discuss ‘what works in rural drinking water governance’ in India, in collaboration with the National Jal Jeevan Mission Professor Chair, Centre for Water Policy and Governance, and Tata Institute of Social Sciences, Mumbai.
