Through extensive efforts, he facilitated the construction of check dams across Saurashtra, leveraging community participation and government support.

The efforts also led to the successful representation for the "Sardar Patel Sahbhagi Jalsanchay Yojna," a government initiative promoting water conservation through community involvement.

Under this scheme, 80% of construction costs for water conservation projects were borne by the government, while the remaining 20% was contributed by villagers.

To support these projects, 40 JCB machines were purchased using donor funds and made available to villagers free of cost, with only the diesel expenses covered by them.

Additionally, the trust supplied two lakh bags of cement free of charge to motivate village water committees.

“Prasad” packets were distributed to every household across 18,000 villages, accompanied by a message advocating for the protection of girl children and the prevention of female feticide.

By 2006, a large-scale initiative was launched where 2.52 lakh households contributed a handful of flour to create a massive laddu.

The laddu was distributed to 35 lakh households across Gujarat, spreading the message to end female feticide.

A car rally involving 300 cars was organized from Surat to Somnath, culminating in an oath-taking ceremony in the presence of Somnath Mahadev to “Save the Girl Child and Female Foetus.” Additionally, one lakh girl students wrote two lakh postcards with messages advocating the cause.

With the aim of providing pure and chemical-free food to the people of Surat, the "Family Farmer" public awareness campaign was initiated.

The event was attended by the Governor of Gujarat, Acharya Devvrat, Central Minister Parsottambhai Rupala, and 5,000 farmers from 170 tehsils.

This initiative will not only provide farmers with a stable customer base and fair pricing but also inspire others to follow suit.
