Water Supple Scheme

To resolve these issues once and for all, Ramdas Swami Sansthan devised a water supply scheme and proposed it to the government of Maharashtra and took rigorous efforts to follow-up the issue with the Government authorities.

Mr. S.G. alias Balasaheb Swami (Chartered Accountant), Trustee of the Sansthan, was at the forefront of proposing and following up the scheme with the government authorities and worked relentlessly to turn this scheme into reality. In response to these efforts the then Water Resources Minister Mr. Ajitdada Pawar approved the water supply scheme for Sajjangad giving it his personal attention & Sajjangad Sansthan Water Supply Scheme of Rs. 1 crore 43 lakhs was approved. The scheme was partially funded by the Government of Maharashtra and partially by the invaluable donations of the devotees in response to the appeal made by the Sansthan. The project was inaugurated on Sunday, March 3, 2013.

Unique features of Sajjangad Sansthan Water Supply Scheme –

For this Water Supply Scheme, water from a fresh water lake situated near the village of Pangare which lies about 6kms from sajjangad is being used. A six-kilometer water pipeline has been installed from Pangare lake to Sajjangad. From the western side of Sajjangad, one is able to see the water pipeline installed in the connected hills and can see it travelling through these hills and all the way into the water tank installed on Sajjangad. Since there are no villages near Pangare lake, the water of the entire lake is pure. This lake is located at an altitude which is 300 feet higher than Sajjangad thus enabling the water to be transported over the entire distance of 6 kms by means of gravity alone. In other words, zero electricity is consumed in order to fetch the water from the reservoir to Sajjangad and through this innovative project the Sansthan has set an example of “Save Power” as the power you save is the power you earn! This challenging and truly eco-friendly project has become a reality today, thanks to the persistent efforts of Shri Ramdas Swami Sansthan and kind cooperation of visionary Deputy Chief Minister Hon. Ajitdada Pawar. The Sansthan has also installed a purification plant in the water supply system thus making the already clean water extra safe for consumption.

The government has handed over the water supply Scheme to Shri Ramdas Swami Sansthan and now the age-old problem of quality & scarcity of water on Sajjangad has been permanently resolved. Since 2013, Sansthan has been supplying clean and abundant water to thousands of devotees who visit Sajjangad and also to the local residents.
