Rustomjee Partners with Rotary Club of Bombay Airport to Fund Kawale Check Dam Water Project in Palghar, Maharashtra

Rustomjee and Rotary Club of Bombay Airport Inaugurate Kawale Check Dam in Palghar

Rustomjee Group partnered with the Rotary Club of Bombay Airport to support the Kawale Check Dam project in Vikramgad Taluka, Palghar District, Maharashtra. The project, inaugurated on June 7, 2026, is expected to improve water security, boost agricultural productivity, and create sustainable livelihood opportunities for nearly 1,800 farming families across 18 villages.

Addressing Water Scarcity in a Tribal Belt

Rustomjee is supporting this transformative initiative in a tribal belt of Maharashtra where limited year-round water availability has constrained livelihoods and agricultural growth. Developed as a long-term water resilience solution, the check dam is designed to capture and conserve rainwater, addressing the region's persistent challenge of water scarcity despite seasonal rainfall abundance.

The dam is expected to store water for nearly two kilometres upstream, enabling groundwater recharge and improving access to water throughout the year. Implemented with active community participation, the project promotes local ownership while helping ensure its long-term sustainability and impact.

Investment and Implementation

With a total project investment of approximately Rs 70.58 lakh, the initiative represents a collaborative effort between development stakeholders, local communities, and institutional partners to create lasting impact through sustainable water infrastructure.
