The SBIF CONSERW: Jaldhara in Bikaner, Phalodi and Jaisalmer Districts Rajasthan initiative, supported by the SBI Foundation, reflects a continuous, community-driven process of water conservation in Rajasthan’s desert regions. It builds on traditional knowledge to restore water systems, protect grazing lands, and strengthen collective stewardship of natural resources. Sustained collaboration among communities, institutions, and public systems enables long-term resilience and ecological balance.
