CSR recognises the increasing impact of climate change on rural communities and the marginalisation of women from environmental management. Given the growing concern over water scarcity, Centre for Social Research with the support of Hanns Seidel Stiftung (HSS), initiated the project, Water Conservation and Climate Change Training of Trainers Program for EWR’s of Rural Rajasthan in the year 2012. We are very proud that the program has been implemented every year since then, and reached out to many elected women representatives in the state of Rajasthan.
