In the idyllic village of Manekhind, situated in the heart of Shahapur, a transformative Checkdam project has reshaped the agricultural landscape, fostering sustainability and prosperity. Completed in the year 2019-2020, this initiative, sponsored by Laxmi Civil Engineering with a budget of 6.82 Lacs, has become a symbol of water conservation, benefitting the community in various ways. With an area under cultivation spanning 6 acres, the project has not only stored 10 Lac Litres of water but has also revitalized agricultural practices.
