As seasonal temperature rises and vital agricultural resources become scarce. The special drive conducted by SwitchON along with its partner NGOs is targeted among marginal farmers of the states, promoting climate resilient smart agriculture practices of solar water pump and micro irrigation.

SwitchON Foundation, on the occasion of National Panchayati Raj Day organized a special awareness drive through its existing EEWA network working in 4 states, 28 districts of the country. 

The drive was conducted along with the respective State Nodal Agencies, involving different village panchayats of the states. Empowering-Energy-Water-Agriculture (EEWA) network is an initiative by the foundation to promote and bridge the existing knowledge gaps among marginal farmers in the key agro states of the country. 

The National Panchayati Raj Day is celebrated each year to commemorate the Panchayati Raj Systems in India (73rd amendment). The day was first celebrated in April 2010 to mark the decentralization of power making it one of the most significant events in Indian history. The Indian Constitution recognises panchayats as a system of self-governance, wherein, the panchayats are responsible for delivering justice and ensuring the development of their villages.
