About Us

In the year 1890 when Baramati was in severe famine people were starving for food and water and started famine riots. To fulfill their hunger, British rulers started building the Nira left Bank Canal, Khadakwasla Canal Pune and Krishna Canal near Karad. In the later time Britishers constructed Loyed Bhatghar Dam on Nira River in 1930. The Nira left bank canal provided water to twenty two villages in Baramati tehsil. As an agrarian economy basically Indian people are at the mercy of the monsoon and agricultural harvest. Baramati region is in the rain shadow and is one of the areas with lowest rain. This situation of Baramati, a rain shadow and lowest rain area somewhat changed in twenty-two villages after the construction of Veer Dam by the British government in 1930 benefitting agriculturists of these villages.
