Project Samriddhi, initiated in 2025 in collaboration with Metlife, is a climatefocused rural development initiative implemented in Fatehabad, Haryana. The project aims to promote sustainable crop residue management (CRM) and reduce stubble burning through large-scale community engagement, adoption of climate-smart agricultural practices, and women-led enterprise development.
The initiative has reached 4,500+ farmers across 45 villages, driving a shift away from residue burning through structured awareness and field-level interventions. Alongside farmer engagement, the project has also empowered 25–30 SHG women by establishing a women-led manufacturing enterprise, supporting unit setup, product development, and market linkage creation to enable sustainable livelihood generation.
The project has delivered strong environmental outcomes by managing crop residue across 7,500 acres, handling nearly 13,500 tonnes of residue, and avoiding approximately 20,000 tonnes of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, contributing to improved air quality and climate resilience in the region.
