For families living along Gujarat’s coast, salinity is not just about water turning salty, it’s about losing fertile soil, safe drinking water, and sometimes, even their means to live with dignity. When fields dry up, wells turn brackish, and livelihoods shrink, communities are left with difficult choices.
At Coastal Salinity Prevention Cell, we walk with these communities to turn challenges into opportunities. Our work is grounded in the belief that those most affected must also be at the heart of the solution.
We work with farmers to introduce salt-tolerant crops, micro-irrigation, and soil restoration techniques that make their land productive again. Livestock initiatives, such as improved breeds and artificial insemination, provide reliable incomes even when crops fail.

We restore ecosystems that protect against salinity: mangrove belts that shield coasts, grassland restoration that revives pastoral livelihoods, and green cover that naturally improves soil health.
Our partnerships with communities, government bodies, and research institutions ensure solutions are scientifically sound, locally rooted, and scalable.
Our programs are designed to put people first—training villagers in water budgeting, building women-led water user groups, and ensuring that local voices shape every decision.
