The stone-pitched Jholakundi with a solar-operated irrigation system, developed under an RKVY-funded project by ICAR–IISWC Sunabeda and the Directorate of Soil Conservation, Odisha, enables year-round vegetable cultivation in the Eastern Ghats. Designed as a deep, circular water storage structure equipped with a 1 HP solar pump, it enables farmers to cultivate vegetables even during peak summer when water scarcity is severe, thereby enhancing livelihoods, water efficiency, and environmental sustainability.
