Aramco initiates Model Village Development Program in rural India

Aramco India in partnership with Humana People to People India (Humana India), inaugurated the Model Village Development Program on 8 April in Sundroj village (Rewari district), Haryana. The project is aimed at strengthening access to essential services and supporting sustainable rural livelihood.

The project was inaugurated by Mr. Abdulrahman Althukair - AAI Managing Director in the presence of Mr. Snorre Westgaard – CEO, Humana India. The ceremony was also attended by representatives of Aramco India; Humana India; Department of Agriculture, Government of Haryana; the Gram Panchayat; and the Village Action Committee, with active participation from members of the local community.

As part of the project, a solar-powered RO water plant has been installed to improve access to safe drinking water. In addition, 30 solar streetlights have been set up across key locations in the village to support better visibility and safety. The project also focused on promoting environmentally sustainable practices, which included the installation of 5 biogas plants and 24 vermicomposting units. Further, 27 kitchen gardens have been developed to support household nutrition and encourage self-sustenance.

To support agricultural activities, the initiative includes installation of 2 solar irrigation pumps, along with distribution of 200 soil conditioner kits and a pest detection machine, helping farmers adopt a mix of traditional and modern agricultural practices. A village action committee has been formed to help oversee the upkeep and usage of these assets, with the aim of ensuring their continued benefit to the local community.

 

The Model Village Development Program reflects a collaborative approach to rural development, with a focus on meeting local needs while building systems that can be sustained by the community over time.
