- It is an important irrigation infrastructure initiative in Maharashtra.
- It encompasses the construction of a comprehensive water distribution system for a command area of 2,277 hectares across six villages in Satara Taluka in Satara district.
- The villages included in the project scope are Tasgaon, Varne, Karandwadi, Devkarwadi, Degaon, and Nigadi.
- The project is expected to improve water availability and irrigation access across the region, supporting long-term agricultural and rural development.

- The scheme falls under the Maharashtra Krishna Valley Development Corporation, Pune.
