The Agricultural Development Trust (ADT), Baramati was founded on 22nd June 1971 with a visionary mission — to transform the drought-prone Baramati region into a model of agricultural and rural prosperity.

The origins of this transformation lie in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, when British authorities responded to devastating famines by creating irrigation infrastructure such as the Nira Left Bank Canal and the Loyed Bhatghar Dam. While these benefitted 22 villages of Baramati, the remaining 43 continued to face water scarcity, agrarian distress and persistent poverty.

ADT emerged as a responsive, people-centric initiative that not only addressed water scarcity but went on to reshape agriculture, rural livelihoods, education, healthcare and women’s empowerment in the region.

The turning point came in the 1960s, when Mr. Sharad Pawar, deeply moved by the hardships of local farmers, began grassroots water conservation efforts. In 1967, with the support of Miss Hessel Skues and Miss Edna Wazar from the Church Auxiliary for Social Action (CASA), the first percolation tank was constructed at Tandulwadi under a “Food for Work” scheme.
