Excel is not just at the forefront of great products, but also at the forefront of community activity, injecting a fresh approach to rural development.

A new wave of thinking enunciates the integration of the earth’s basic resources for economic progress. One example is the successful rainwater harvesting efforts by the villagers of Saurashtra, Kutch and Rajasthan. Employing participative rural management techniques, drinking water was ensured and thousands of hectares of arid land made cultivable. Today, through our associate concern, VRTI, Excel has implemented numerous such projects.
