  Planning for an ideal Sustainable Village.

 Project Design

Goal:- Brought sustainability in Natural Resources through

community empowerment, soil and water conservation measures

and promotion of sustainable agricultural practices, which lead to

a sustainable income to the families, generated employment

opportunities and communal harmony.

Objective: - I

 To increase the water available for irrigation and consumption

purposes through developing surface and ground water resources

 by the end of project period, in order to increase the Kharif and

Rabi crop in catchments area.

Strategy:-

 As large proportions of this area are engaged in agriculture

activities and most of the areas are unproductive due to water

table depletion. Construction of desalting and digging of new

ponds and also constructed Earthen Embankment, Check dam

and Nalla bund in order to increase the water storage facility in the

area.

Indicator: -

• Water table will increase in the area by 40%.

• The area of 2nd crop will increase by 30%.

• Water for animal consumption.

• No. of intervention will increase.

Objective II: -

 To decrease soil erosion and increase soil fertility, which will result

the greater productivity of yield in two years of time.

Strategy: -

Due to steep slopes gully formation is too high. This erosion can be

arrested and controlled through the construction of farm bund,

canal, gully plugs, which will reduce the velocity of running water

and help to reduce soil erosion. Also construct staggered trenches,

contour bund, field bunds and a forestation.

Indicator: -

• Number of farm bunds will increase.

• Number of Loose boulder farm spillways increase.

• Number of Gully plugs and plant saplings in community lands

increase.

Objective III: -

 To mobilize people for sustainable agriculture in order to provide

 better plant food and also check the environmental pollution.

Strategy: -

 To start some model Vermi-compost in each village. It is the way of

processing the organic wastes into a better plant food by using

earthworm. Side by side promote kitchen garden using the

available land closer to their own house. This way there will be

clean environment around the village. Thus they will not go to

market to buy vegetables. They will grow green vegetable for their

own consumption even for the sale.

Indicator: -

Page 3: Dream Project SD

7/23/2019 Dream Project SD

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/dream-project-sd 3/24

• Number of Vermi-compost pit will increase in the village.

• There will be kitchen garden in each family.

• Health condition of the people will be better.

Objective IV: -

Empowerment of the target group on natural resource

management and promote of self-governance by strengthening of

community based organizations. The implementation of work will

 be by the people and for the people.

Strategy: -

 Various types of trainings, awareness programs and capacity

 building programs will be conducted for the community,

highlighting implications of improper natural resource

management to create a confidence among them in implementing

this project. The environment management committee members,

SHG and village leaders will be taken for an exposure visit.

Indicator: -• The community will handle the work.

• Their capacity will increase by doing the work.

• Better knowledge about integrated environmental management

program.

Objective V

Motivate the farmers to cultivate drought tolerant crops accordingto their land type. This will give good result as well as early verity

so that they can cultivate rain-fed Rabi crop.

Strategy: - To contact Agriculture University and provide early

 verity paddy or drought tolerant Paddy to the farmers. At present

Page 4: Dream Project SD

7/23/2019 Dream Project SD

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/dream-project-sd 4/24

 we have Ashoka paddy which is a short duration paddy takes 85

days. After harvesting paddy farmers can go for Bengal gram that

is ICCV-2 which does not need much rain.

Indicator: -

• 2nd crop coverage area will increase by 20%.

• Farmers will get additional income.

• Farmers will start to sale their produce in the market.

• Cropping system will be changed.

• Sufficient Fodder for animal.

 The objectives can be brought in to the following heads

1.The capacity building of the community through group

formation, empowerment and action for owning up and

sustainability of the project.

2.Bringing sustainability in farming and Natural Resources of the

area through soil and water conservation and sustainable

farming practices.

3.Bringing seed sufficiency in the area for preserving the

hereditary of farming and ensuring the sustainability of the

effect of intervention.

4.Promotion of Organic Marketing outlet

5.Promotion of Sustainable Agriculture through IEC.

6.To increase the ground water level in the well/tube well.

7.To preserve water conservation.

8.To prevent soil erosion.

9.To promote sustainable agriculture.

Page 5: Dream Project SD

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/dream-project-sd 5/24

10.To create awareness on organic farming, seed banking,

 watershed & natural resource.

Common Strategy Adopted

• Capacity building of the community by sensitisation, forming

social structures.

• Promotion of soil and Water Conservation Measures.

• Promotion of Organic Farming in a sustainable manner.

• Promotion of Traditional Farming Practices.

• Agro forestry and pasture land development.

• Promotion of seed banks.

Need assessment and Problem identification The major problems in the area requiring attention are-

• Lack of irrigation facilities and inadequate extension services

resulting in continuation of traditional system of agriculture,

mainly focussing on Kharif crop.

• Unemployment/ under/employment in lean season resulting in

migration.

• Malnutrition, Health issues.

• Inadequate educational facilities & poor social condition of women.

• Alcoholism and superstitions among villagers.

Page 6: Dream Project SD

7/23/2019 Dream Project SD

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/dream-project-sd 6/24

• Unutilization of excess runoff water for second crops or even for

supplement irrigation resulting in detoriating socio-economic

condition of tribal farmers.

Priority based Needs Assessment: -

Fire Wood Demand

For the cooking purpose the people are using firewood getting from the

 Jungle. There are about 792.839 acre protected Forest. Under social

forestry, a program is there near to the watershed area. So there is a

culture in the area to protect there own mini plantation within their land

holds. So this area is not so far affected with the deficiency of fire wood.

But in future, the excessive use of fire wood may cause deficiency of trees

in the area. So through this watershed program we wish to promote the

culture of social forestry among the families of this area. The common

trees of the area are Sagon (Teakwood), Bija and Sal, fruit crops like

Mahuwa, Chironji, Mango and tamarind.

Fire wood requirement of the area @ 12 kg/HH/day = 762.12

 Area required for planting for the fire wood assuming @ 20 Tone fire

 wood/Ha/day = 38.106 Ha

 Assume that the plants can be cut after 3 years so that area of

plantation = 114.32 Ha

So as our NRM project we promote in focus at least 114 Ha of land with

plantation especially to supply fire wood

 As part of the agriculture, the people of the area are rearing various

livestock. The details are given in the table below.

Fodder Demand of the Animals: -

In the target area generally animals are left out for open grazing for about

6 months, when the land is dry. In most of the area the growth of grass

is insufficient, moreover due to excessive erosion of soil the growth of

grass does not take place. Hence in dry season there is nothing left for

the animals to graze. In other 6 months they are given fodder at home,

so the animals look healthy. Since the animals get insufficient fodder,

there is insufficient cow dung as well. Therefore farmyard manure is also

 very little, due to which people use chemical fertilizer.

 The total fodder demand to feed 1938 animals in a day = 324701000=

32.47 Tone.

So that fodder demand per year = 32.47 x 365 = 11851.55Tonne

So that area needed to produce fodder @ 35 Tone/Ha/year =11851 /35

 Water demand of the watershed area-

 Water demand is mainly for human consumption, animal consumption,

and for agriculture use. So far the community have not been able to tap

stream water for agricultural purposes. Irrigation is done only in area on

the bank of the Nala and river.

So the study made shows that at least 2.59 Acre area is needed to

meet the food requirement of the area. But the total cost of food

items per year per family comes to about Rs.26991 the average

land holding of the area is about 5 Acre per family and the annual

income from the land is about Rs. 6000/year. So most of them are

going outside for labor work and there by them are meeting the

 basic needs. But from September to October they are not having

any external work and with out having any income they struggle to

feed their stomach. So, it is an essential to promote kitchen

gardening in the area and also to start seed bank. Also training is

needed to promote organic farming in the area. The fertilizer usage

has become now a days more. So the importance of organic farming

is to be introduced

 Activities Planned:

1.Farm Pond:- Seven new dug out type farm ponds, deepening of

one existing dug out type farm ponds and three embankment type

farm pond in the villages for conservation of rainwater, which

 would be percolated in the field and maintain the moisture in the

land. Farmers will be able to use this water for irrigation andalmost 150 households will directly benefit from these ponds.

2.Earthen contour/Farm Bund: The project area is having some

portion as wasteland. The people cultivate only cereal corps etc,

 but not in sufficient yield. Due to heavy rain more soil erosion

Page 13: Dream Project SD

7/23/2019 Dream Project SD

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/dream-project-sd 13/24

takes place and no soil moisture is left in the field. Therefore we

propose 46143 m of contour/farm bund in our watershed area for

 water and soil conservation.

3.Loose Bolder (LB) and D.R. Masonry Gully Plugs:- In the

project area 100 LB gully plugs and 75 DR masonry gully plugs

proposed as this watershed does not have sufficient soil water

conservation structure to check the velocity of the runoff and

prevent the soil erosion which removes the top fertile soil of the

land. Therefore the people want to prevent the soil erosion and to

reduce water flow in slow speed in order to check and conserve water in all the direction of the area. Thus we want to construct

the medium and large gully plugs with mud, stone and stone bund

etc.

4.Grass Plantation:- To fulfill the need of grass fodder for animals,

 we will motivate the farmers during the first year, preparing the

grass seedling to improve the fodder and production. Planting

suitable local species on pond boundaries, barren land and the

field boundaries could help to increase and provide fodder for

animals.

5. Tree Plantation:- The need for tree plantation is mainly for the

purpose of fire wood and timber wood. Many kinds of species of

tress will be planted in the watershed area, other farm and barren

land with the support and cooperation of the people. Tree guards

 will be planted with local materials to protect the new saplings in

the land. Choices will be given to plant local thorny bushes on

 bunds and boundaries to avoid shade on food crops. The farmers

Page 14: Dream Project SD

7/23/2019 Dream Project SD

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/dream-project-sd 14/24

 will be given incentive for digging each plant and tree guards. The

choice of tree species will be decided by the organization after the

detail interaction with the community and beneficiaries concerned.

6.Seed Bank: The Project area is a drought proven one. The people

in this area depends on agriculture alone. All the people of this

area are affected by the frequent droughts and they are mostly

tribals and dalit communities who are the inhabitants. This

situation adversely affects their food security. During monsoon the

farmers purchase costly seeds from the market at the cost of

 borrowing money from moneylenders or others, which affects theireconomic condition.

 There are a number of available traditional seeds but the people

don’t use the local seeds due to various reasons as such fear of

less yielding crops. We will conduct training for marginal farmers

to create awareness about the use of traditional seed and teach

them how to prepare the local seed. We will motivate the marginal

farmers to save their grains as soon as their crops are harvested.

 Therefore the seed/grain bank would be like a saving bank. People

own this bank as a cooperative, where each farmer saves some

grain & keep it for the next year. They benefit in two ways from this

grain bank.

1.The grains are gathered, stored and taken care of without

any damage, which could be sold to the farmers in a low rate

than the market one.

2.The farmers will have enough seed in the next monsoon with

the choice of better qualities according to their land with

minimum infection of pests and diseases. The grain bank

Page 15: Dream Project SD

7/23/2019 Dream Project SD

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/dream-project-sd 15/24

 would help the farmers and also others who are in need of

such seeds.

Each village will select the minimum member of 40 marginalized

farmers for the seed bank by the recommendation of the watershed

committees.

 The project staff will give awareness to the committee members on

the functions of the seed bank, its maintenance and duty of the

committee members.

In the initial stage, Rs. 1200/- will be given to the families for the

seed/grain bank from which, distribute Rs. 1000/- worth of

different seeds and Rs. 200/- as local contribution to be used for

acquiring common storage, containers, weighing machines etc. The

 beneficiaries would pay 25% extra in repayment of the seeds and

the service charges.

 The Sustainability of the seed bank will be ensured in the following

manner

• Promotion of traditional seeds first and then the new verities

to keep a balance in the ecosystem.

• Seed bank should be managed under the watershed

committee.

• The seeds for the bank should be selected to full fill the food

demand of the area. Or the seeds for the kitchen garden are

also important to preserve along with the cereals and cash

crops.

• There can be various levels in the preservation of seed

ranging from individual farmers house to the watershed

committee level.

Page 16: Dream Project SD

7/23/2019 Dream Project SD

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/dream-project-sd 16/24

• The bulk seeds can be stored along with the market space

running by the watershed committee.

• The seeds supplied to the farmers will be taken back 120%

to the watershed committee and again the 100% seeds can

 be supplied to the farmers for cultivation. The additional

seeds collected can be make use for the sustenance of the

seed bank and a small amount also can be collected from the

farmers while giving the seeds to the farmers for sawing in

the second time eg. Rs 50/- per Kg. This money and the 20%

of additional seeds collected can assure the sustainability

and expansion of the seed bank.

• We can think of any insurance scheme or some thing like

that to reduce the risk of looting of seeds from the storage

space.

7. Smokeless Chulla: There are various types of smokeless chullas

 which have been developed by different organizations. We are

planning to develop our own model with the participation of the

local people in the project area. In the initial stage training will be

given to two-three local women (village) and provide exposure for

them. The trained women will make smokeless chulla for other

families in the watershed area who are in need of it.

8. Promotion of organic Manure through Vermi-Compost

Boxes : The indiscriminiable use of chemical fertilizers have

increased an imbalance in the fertility levels of the soil. It has

resulted in increase in microbes and carbonates.

Page 17: Dream Project SD

7/23/2019 Dream Project SD

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/dream-project-sd 17/24

 As a result of this, the soil gets hardened for which the farmers

need excessive irrigation, which again creates imbalances in land

and water resources. To keep up the balance in the elements of

environment therefore the need to promote organic manures and

fertilizers proposed in this programme, which involves construction

of vermin compost pits and production of vermin compost.

Size of vermi unit (pit) = length = 10 feet x width 3 feet x hight

2.5 feet

 After construction of the tank in single brick wall and cement

masonry, saw dust in layed at the bottom on which water is

sprayed. Then 30 earthworms per Sq.ft. are placed on it, after 60%

organic waste is filled in the tank. The rest of the 40% space in

filled with cowdung. While doing this filling, stone, glass and

plastic pieces are removed as these interfere in the smooth

production of vermin compost manure. The entire structure need a

shed like set up covering it which will be done by the beneficiaries

through local contribution.

9. Kitchen Garden: -  The economic situation of the people of the

target villages is very poor. Their source of income is mainly based

on agriculture and as agriculture is fully depended on monsoon.

 The major crop of the area is paddy (rice) but some farmers

cultivate groundnut, oil seeds, etc. Purchase of vegetables every

day is very expensive and regular absence of green vegetables

creates health disorders. Low income directly affects their health.

Due to less investment and non-availability of green vegetables

people are not healthy especially women & children face a lot of

health problems like: Malnutrition, Anemia, Weakness, Common

Page 18: Dream Project SD

7/23/2019 Dream Project SD

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/dream-project-sd 18/24

Fever, Cold & Cough etc. Because of the above situation kitchen

garden activity is a best solution for them. By this activity women

can cultivate green vegetables with minimum work and lowest cost.

 Villagers can use their kitchen wastage and drainage water for

kitchen garden. This garden can be formed near their houses even

those families holding small plot of land. In the beginning stage (1st

 year) the organization will provide seeds of worth of Rs. 150 x 130

families in a village. After producing the farmers will be prepared to

have seeds for the next kitchen garden.

10.Marginal Bundings:Marginal bunding is provided for checkingthe erosion and conserving the water at field. This is providing

along the contour lines to conserve soil and water arise as per the

community demand.

11.Nursery Raising:  The project would raise up nursery so that

there can be sufficient plants for Plantation.

12.Fodder cultivation:  To supply the fodder need of the cattles so as

to prevent free grazing, this activity as been proposed.

13.Stone pitched spillways:  The need to divert the excess water

safely to other direction so as to keep the structure safe and in

shape the stone pitched spillways are provided in each structure

and in places where there is need of safe disposal of water.

Capacity Building:

1.Exposure Programme:  This NRM programme is new for the

 villagers and for the project staff. They need to know and

understand the concept of the NRM through exposure. Our

project staff and some watershed committee members will visit

Page 19: Dream Project SD

7/23/2019 Dream Project SD

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/dream-project-sd 19/24

the site of a model watershed project. During exposure the

participants will observed study and interact with the

stakeholders etc. It will be very useful for them to gain

knowledge of various water, soil conservation structures,

function of the watershed committees and earn how to

implement their project in a successful manner.

2.Sustainable Agriculture Training:- In the project area, the

farmers practice traditional corps pattern as they cultivate

mainly paddy using fertilizers and pesticides. Thus the land

 becomes less fertile more expensive day by day and the farmersare caught up in the grip of debt. There is need to create

awareness and training for the farmers on sustainable

agriculture: like organic farming, cropping pattern, bio-compost,

mix cultivation, seed preparation, field preparation etc.

 The Sustainability of the Organic Farming Promotion

can be ensured by the following ways• Training on the theory and structural interventions like

 vermi composting, making Amruth pani etc

• Promotional activities of organic farming should be under

taken by the watershed committee.

• Forming organic farmer’s network under the watershed

committee.

• Marketing outlet under the watershed committee to sell the

organic products produced within the watershed area.

3. Training on Gender Sensitisation: - The people in the

project area especially women seed to be awakened in social,

Page 20: Dream Project SD

7/23/2019 Dream Project SD

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/dream-project-sd 20/24

economic and political issues. They need to be strengthened

sensitized and empowered in order to bring equality between

men and women in the society.

4. Awareness training on watershed: - The farmers in the

project area are not aware of the concept of NRM therefore we

 will conduct a number of training for the committee members

and farmers. The concept of watershed, soil, water conservation

structures and the functions of the watershed committees will

 be explained to them by different skills & techniques. Through

this training programme we will encourage the farmers andcommittee to actively participate in all the activities of the

project to enable them towards the sustainability of this

programme.

5. Village Level Health Awareness and Health Check up

Camps: The villages (in the project area) are located in a very

remote area and are isolated. There are lack of facilities andpoor health and hygiene. The people are affected much during

rainy seasons with various sicknesses like diarrhea, malaria,

 jaundice etc. The women and children always suffer due to

anemia, malnutrition and common sicknesses.

Organizing health camp once in a year is a must to create

health awareness in the people and to have treatment for the

 various sicknesses with the help of the primary health centre.

6.Immunization Camp for Animal Husbandry: Besides the

agricultural work the farmers do spend enough time for animal

husbandry. The farmers’ rare cows, goats, buffalos, hens etc.

Due to different seasons (monsoon, summer) and diseases

many animals die at a time, which is a great loss for them and

also their main concern. Therefore to conduct a camp for animal

husbandry is a great necessary to make people aware of about

the disease and sicknesses of the animals and to motivate them

to immunize then animals with the help of animal husbandry

deportment.

7.Formation of Watershed Committees:- The watershed

committees will play a vital role in the implementation of this

NRM programme. The committee will be responsible for all theactivities of the project. The main objectives of the watershed

concept is to create awareness among the villagers, to increase

more participation of the villagers and monitor the NRM

activities.

 The watershed committee will consist of 30-40 members who

 will be selected by the villagers either through some

consideration through voting system. The criteria for the

selection of the members will be according to population, caste

and gender.

Means to strengthen the Watershed committee through

the project

Departments, which are working for the same objectives.

• Problems rising in the INRM related matters should be

discussed and the solutions to be find within the meeting

or task force can be formed to settle the issue from

 watershed committee itself.

• All the proper documents should be maintained and kept

 within the committee.

8.Training on Human Trafficking and Migration

 This is a burning issue of this community. Due to lack of

productivity from agriculture and lack of other source of

income the families are forced to send their girl children for

 working out side and they are sexually exploited in the cities.

In the project area itself more than 40 girls are out of home.

So as part of the INRM project it is planned to organize

training for the sensitization against the human trafficking

and migration.

9. Quarterly evaluation cum Planning: - We need to have

quarterly evaluation, meeting & planning for the successful

implementation of the project with the project stakeholders.

 Therefore we will conduct a meeting once in three month

 where the RDSWS director, project staff, watershed

committee members and villagers be present. In this meeting

they will analyse and evaluate the past activities and plan for

the next three months activities for the steady progress of

the project.

10.Farmers and Staff:

 Three days training program will be organized for the farmers

and staff to equip them with the best understanding of INRM

project, knowledge and skills to carryout the project. It will

 be nice to have another follow-up program for the same

group. In this they will understand more and will ready to

execute the project in a best way.

11.Exposure Visits – Farmers and Staff: Staff members

and few selected farmers from each village will be taken for

the exposure visit to the model watershed area where our

farmers and villagers will get more idea and knowledge to

adapt the same pattern in their place. It will be easier for

them to understand watershed concept and implement. Five

days exposure program to far or near watershed area will be

selected.

12.Posters, Leaflets, Stickers and greetings cards for

the promotion of organic farming: To produce some

result in the watershed area it is very much needed to have

some posters in order to show them the real life given

situation. People will believe in the promotion of organic

farming. At present all the farmers are using the fertilizer to

increase their annual income. By the end of completion of

 watershed people will use more of this type of farming. They will be told about the consequences of the use of fertilizer.

13.Giving reward to the best organic farmer at the end of the

implementation of the NRM.  At the end of the implementation of

INRM one of the best organic farmers will be awarded with Rs. 5000/- It

 will be nice that from each village one farmer gets consolation prices of

Rs. 1000/- This will also motivate them to perform / implement in a better way
