Since 2015, SEED NGO has been em-paneled with the Hyderabad Metro Water Supply and Sewerage Board. Annually, SEED initiates awareness programs focused on rainwater conservation through the renovation of Rainwater Harvesting Structures. Concurrently, SEED actively participates in World Water Day celebrations, contributing to the cause through the renovation and construction of Rainwater Harvesting Structures. These initiatives are undertaken under various themes, including "Accelerating Change to Solve the Water and Sanitation Crises," "Groundwater: Making Invisible Visible," "Water Leadership and Conservation," and "Manchineela Panduga." SEED promotes Jalavarsathava committees in collaboration with Residential Welfare Associations and Slum Level Federations. In a comprehensive effort, SEED conducts awareness programs to sensitize communities toward rainwater conservation. Simultaneously, SEED explores water budgeting across all locations, identifying gaps in water conservation and pinpointing areas where communities may be wasting water. The program coverage extends to 240 colonies in Haythangar, Vansthali Puram, and LBNager zones of GHMC, as well as other municipalities like Badangpet, Meerpet, and Jalpally. Over the course of these endeavors, SEED has constructed and renovated more than 485 Rainwater Harvesting structures under JALABHAGYAM ,JALAM JEEVAM AND WATER LEADERSHIP AND CONSERVATION PROGRAMS
SEED, with the help of GHMC and Technical Assistance from Administrative Staff College of India, has launched a comprehensive initiative aimed at raising awareness about proper waste segregation through door-to-door collection methods. The initiative has reached 12,650 houses in 96 colonies, successfully reduced vulnerable garbage points, achieved a commendable adoption rate of 85-90% for dry and wet waste segregation methods, promoted community composting and home composting practices, effectively managed construction and demolition waste, and significantly improved the attendance of Sanitary Action Teams (SAT) autos. The initiative has also increased door-to-door collection efficiency and improved the attendance percentage of SAT autos and Community Resource Persons (CRPs).
The Hyderabad Metro Water Supply and Sewerage Board (HMWSSB) has launched awareness campaigns targeting Residential Slum Level Federations, focusing on the Safai Surksh Mitra Challenge. These campaigns emphasize the importance of responsible waste management and the environmental impact of waste sludge drawing in the vicinity of colonies. SEED educates communities about the appropriate dialing numbers to access authorized septic tankers for routine cleaning, reducing dependence on private tankers.The pilot project, which involved collecting data on septic tank status in GHMC Hayathnagar, was successfully completed. The results showed that 85% of the colonies are using em-paneled septic tankers for waste management, with 65% of these tankers providing livelihood opportunities. Additionally, em-paneled tankers have reduced drainage overflow issues, improved sanitation conditions, and reduced health expenditures, demonstrating the effectiveness of utilizing em-paneled septic tankers for waste management in GHMC Hayathnagar. The initiative has also led to reduced health expenditures, highlighting the positive impact on the community's overall well-being.
SEED has been taken up the pilot program door to door / house hold survey program on verification of Tap water connection in Adhinbatla municipality of Rangareddy district under Outer Ring Road limits in which we covered 841 house holds Indhiramma colony ,Mariyapuram .Mammarajaguda and Adhibatla
To enhance revenue through the efficient utilization of water and ensure the provision of safe drinking water to consumers residing in villages within the ORR limits.

In similar Path SEED NGO has taken up a Project with the Hyderabad Metro Water Supply and Sewerage Board (HMWSSB) pertaining to the intervention we created a awareness to Residential and non residential areas like government institutes, colleges, Gated communities , Colonies and schools on rain water harvesting pits by poster campaign , use of Pamphlets and Mobile auto propaganda.
With the cooperation and participation of all citizens and start the common cause of implementation of a massive programme on Rainwater Harvesting/Conservation. We have conducted Awareness Programmes in the 65 institutes and 126 colonies facilitated technical guidance to construct Rain water Harvesting / Conservation Structures themselves in their own premises to improve the groundwater for sustainable yields in the bore wells. Initially conducted survey in 21 premises and identified 908 RWHS assessed the needs /gaps in ground water status and drinking water. So far facilitated in construction of 125 Rain water harvesting Structures.

The Water Leadership and Conservation (WaLC) pilot initiative was spearheaded by the Hyderabad Metro Water Supply & Sewerage Board (HMWSSB) with support from CSR contributions of corporate donors. SEED NGO was entrusted with implementing awareness and outreach activities in Division 13, Uppal.
In collaboration with HMWSSB, SEED conducted transect walks in key colonies such as Bheerappagadda, Nacharam, and surrounding localities. A team of experts conducted door-to-door surveys and mapped key issues, including:
Based on these assessments, customized, community-specific solutions were designed to promote conservation practices.
SEED NGO conducted community sessions focusing on:
To promote behavioral change, a color-coded marking system was introduced
Each house was evaluated and marked accordingly, promoting healthy competition and community accountability.
Significant improvement in community awareness and water management behavior
Following the identification of issues, SEED initiated targeted community actions, engaging:
These actions included awareness sessions, training, and regular follow-ups. As a result of sustained efforts, over 90% of Red-marked households transitioned to Blue, successfully adopting water conservation practices and rainwater harvesting.
The WaLC initiative, driven by community participation and real-time data, proved to be a scalable model for urban water conservation. SEED NGO’s facilitation not only built awareness but also empowered citizens to become water stewards in their communities—demonstrating the power of grassroots-led, result-oriented environmental action.
Basing on our NGO SEED experience working with Central, State, NABARD, and CSR in rural and urban areas in the area of education, water sector, agriculture, water, and sanitation for the last 18 years
