In the late 1970s, our Owner and Mentor Mr. Naganathan was in the water pump sector, he could study the water crisis in Bangalore and therefore he wanted to concentrate on water exploration and the result is “NIVEDA ENTERPRISES”. This company was started in Hennur Bangalore. The main service was to find out the potential points of groundwater, drilling borewells with borewell rig, supply and maintenance of handpumps and motor pumps and further follow-up of services.
1980 was the revolutionary year when all manual drilling was turned into power drilling by pneumatic rigs. These rigs had a maximum capacity of drilling upto 300 feet. It was a marathon task to drill a borewell of 300 feet & involved various factors of environment. At the beginning the company had to hire borewell rigs mostly from Tiruchengodu in Tamilnadu to meet the aspiring drilling market.
Mr. Naganathan had to struggle between the customers and rig owners so as to coordinate and cooperate to drill successful drilling holes. When the ground strata was not cooperative to drill bore which would affect the machineries. Usually the rig owners declined for further drilling and thereby they abruptly stopped work. This was the main reason Niveda Enterprises Ventured in mounting their own drilling until in the year 1988. Between this period Mr. Naganathan could gain a vast knowledge and experience of drilling in difficult terrains and unfavourable natural formation of earth where borewell drilling was very difficult. Before confirming an order the company used to educate the customer what is borewell and how it was drilled. The approach of the staff towards the customer and the services rendered by its technical staff were commendable. The company had three different sections, namely, drilling division, pump division and maintenance division backed by well experienced and skilled technicians.
Niveda Enterprises was the only borewell Company pioneered in streamlining the strategies of drilling and commission of water pumps under one roof and this action resulted in enormous welcome by the customers. This step reduced the total confusion on the selection of suitable power and stages of pump in accordance with the yield of the borewell. Most of the drilling performed by various unknown individual owners of drilling rig at that time without any records,
Niveda enterprises regularised the drilling by documenting the total work performed such as maintaining the customers address, drilling point, date of drilling, depth of casing pipe inserted and total depth drilled and also the various strata and formation of the hole, place of water yield and so on. Well completion report of Niveda Enterprises still stand vouch for the services rendered by them.
Niveda Enterprises was known for its pump division which had a well experienced technicians backed by Mechanical Engineers, who were extra-ordinary in rectifying the problems of pumping water from borewells. In 80s the most used pumps were Jet Pumps and Air compressors in which the Air compressor Pump had negligible maintenance but the Jet Pumps were to the core of repairs. Repairs in the sense it was a Herculean task to find out the actual fault in pumping since the pump was designed to pump water only from a depth of maximum 140 feet.
VSN BOREWELLS
“VSN BOREWELLS” is an outcome of Niveda Enterprises which was started in the year 1980 by Mr. Naganathan who had been in the marketing field since 1975 dealing with engineering tools, Electrical Induction Motors and water pumps, catering to various reputed organisations, agricultural sectors in Karnataka especially in Bangalore.
