Gadchiroli Emerges as Water Conservation Showcase Under PMDDKY
Gadchiroli, once synonymous with insurgency and chronic underdevelopment, is now being cited as a model for water conservation and agricultural revival under the PM Dhan-Dhaanya Krishi Yojana. Officials say targeted watershed work has helped turn drought-prone stretches greener, improved soil moisture, and lifted farm output in a district long constrained by water stress. The transformation is being watched closely as a test case for how public investment can reshape both rural livelihoods and regional development outcomes.
