First Percolation Tank

Under Food for Work scheme, the first percolation tank was constructed at Tandulwadi near Baramati in the year 1967.









Establishment of Trust

Before the formal establishment of the Trust construction of 80 percolation tanks was completed. After establishment of the trust in 1971, the momentum of construction of percolation tanks picked up and near about 100 percolation tanks were ready.





Foundation of Trust

As the agriculture of forty-three villages was dependent on monsoon only, the construction of 289 percolation tanks proved to be a boon for the people of the region. The vision of Hon. Sharadchandraji Pawar, active role of Dr. Appasaheb Pawar and support of ‘CASA’ Institute laid the foundation for the development of this region.






People Contribution

Miss Skues and Miss Wazar distributed wheat and oil to the local people under the scheme of ‘Food for Work’.









Mobile Dispensary

Forty years ago there were no dispensaries in the remote villages, the situation was very grim in famine stricken villages. The Trust has undertaken Health Service programmes with the help of a philanthropic organization ‘Teredes Homes’ from Germany

Israel Visit

Shri. Appasaheb Pawar visited Israel in 1970 to study the advanced techniques in agriculture. He was greatly impressed with the tremendous development of Israel even though it faced the adverse circumstances and the lack of natural resources.







Ideal demonstration farm

He visited Israel and saw the development of agriculture, poultry, horticulture, floriculture,modern methods of irrigation, Dr. Appasaheb was impressed and thought that unless changing the traditional agricultural practices there could not be transformation in the lives of Indian farmers. With this vision the Trust established an ideal demonstration farm of 110 acres at Malegaon (Kh).
