About 400 million rural poor reside in about 200 poorest districts of the country that constitute rainfed areas. If one looks at the overall agricultural pattern across the country, almost 85 million ha, that is, about 60% of the 142 million ha of cultivable land is under rainfed conditions. These make a significant contribution to the production of pulses, oil seeds and cereals in the country. Public investment in irrigation has steadily declined. In addition, even if the entire irrigation potential of the country is developed, 50% of the arable land is likely to remain rainfed. There is, therefore, an urgent need to give attention to improving the agricultural productivity and diversifying the economy of these areas. The government, research institutes, NGOs and the private sector, each in its own manner, has made efforts to enhance the livelihood opportunities for rural communities in rainfed areas. Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh announced a mega assistance plan of Rs 25,000 crores in 2007 to boost agricultural productivity. A National Rainfed Area Authority has also been set up to specifically look into the issues of enhancing rural livelihoods in rainfed areas. The efforts of luminaries such as Shri P.R. Mishra of Sukhomajri Project in Haryana and Shri Anna Hazare in Ralegaon Siddhi, Maharashtra, are well known. Development Support Centre (DSC) initiated in 1994 by the late Shri Anil Shah, has made a critical contribution in capacity building, research and influencing policies related to participatory natural resource management. The organization was involved in developing the first watershed guidelines brought out by Mr. B.N. Yugandhar, and continues to look at issues related to the effective implementation of the watershed programme. Some of the studies such as ‘Longitudinal Study in Sixteen Drought Prone Watershed and Non-watershed Villages of Gujarat’, ‘Drinking Water Security in Watershed Villages’ and ‘Cost-benefit Analysis of Watershed Development: An Exploratory Study in Gujarat’ have led to policy changes at the state and national levels and better practices at the ground level. One of the most important contributions of Anilbhai was the formulation of principles for development and management of natural resources in a sustainable manner or ‘Bopal Declarations’ as they are popularly known. These have been mentioned in the Planning Commission’s ‘Approach Paper for Rainfed Areas’ and also in the new watershed guidelines of April 2008, as guiding principles for implementing the programme. The iv v new guidelines give due recognition to the need for improving rural livelihoods through participatory watershed development, with the focus on integrated farming systems for enhancing income, productivity and livelihood security in a sustainable manner. As an organization involved in capacity building of practitioners, and also working as an implementing agency, DSC realizes that there is no dearth of literature on watershed management. There are many how-to-do manuals such as how to construct a check- dam or how to mobilize people to form Self Help Groups, etc. However, there are few that focus on broadening the horizon of the practitioner, by providing alternative options that could be tried out in different conditions. Whereas plenty of literature is available on the technical aspects of watershed development and other livelihood strategies, not much has been written on the institutional aspects, entrepreneurial strategies or the role of ICT. Besides, there are many rainfed areas such as flat lands or coastal lands where the typical watershed approach cannot be applied and, therefore, intervention strategies for these areas also need to be developed. A need, therefore, was felt for a strategy handbook that would focus on livelihood augmentation in rainfed areas, which would draw upon the experiences of field implementation, and cull out the principles and strategies to help a practitioner adapt these in his/her context. Given the breadth of the subject, the authors found it practical to present the material in four volumes. Dr. Astad Pastakia, a doctorate from the Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad, and author of Locked Horns – Conflicts and their Resolution in Community-based Natural Resource Management, agreed to anchor the project. Mr. Sachin Oza, Executive Director, DSC and a practitioner for 20 years, has co-authored the volumes with Dr. Pastakia. They were ably assisted by Mr. Virendra Vaghani, who has coordinated the entire project. The development of these handbooks has not been easy and it has taken well over two years to bring them out in the current form. I am grateful to Aga Khan Foundation and the European Commission for having shown great patience and trust and for extending support to DSC in this endeavour. Needless to say, these volumes would not have been possible without the inputs of several organizations that have been toiling night and day to enhance the livelihoods of the poor. I am sure, that these volumes will make a significant contribution and add tremendous value to the existing literature on livelihood. Vijay Mahajan Chairman, Development Support Centre iv v Preface With the Green Revolution areas showing signs of fatigue, and public investments in rainfed regions not yielding the desired results, Indian agriculture once again finds itself at the crossroads. The crisis of productivity in agriculture is linked to an impending crisis of food security, reminiscent of the PL-480 days, prior to the Green Revolution. Whereas agricultural growth rates have stagnated, the population is growing at exponential rates. The per capita production of food grains dropped from an all-time high of 207 kg/ person/yr in 1995 to 186 kg/person/yr in 2007. The per capita availability of agricultural land has declined from 0.48 ha in 1951 to 0.16 ha in 1991 and is likely to decline further to 0.08 ha by 2035. Looking at the magnitude of the problem and heeding the advice of the Planning Commission, the Prime Minister, Dr. Manmohan Singh, announced in 2007 a mega assistance plan of Rs 25,000 crores to state governments to boost agricultural productivity. However, whether these investments will produce the desired results will depend on how and where these resources are deployed. It is our contention that a vast untapped potential exists in rainfed areas of the country. this has also been corroborated by a recent comprehensive assessment made by a team of international agricultural scientists (Wani, Rockstrom and Oweis, 2009). The keys to unlock this potential are also available, as demonstrated by the efforts of numerous non-governmental and governmental

Published by: Arid Agro-Ecosystem Director National Agriculture Technology Project, Central Arid Zone Research Institute Jodhpur-342003 Support: Bhupesh Vaid and Rishi Kala Printed at: Indian Tourism Publications, 743, Nehru Park, Jodhpur 342003 Foreword Drought is a recurring feature in aridregiol1 ofIndia. The drought of the year 2002 is unique and severest drought of the country in the sense that all the scientific and traditional predictions failed miserably. The region received only < 30 % of the mean annual rainfall in one or two spells of 10-20 rom each. This was insufficient for sowing of the kharif crops. Regeneration of grasses and has resulted in acute shortage of drinking water for human and livestock. Migration of livestock has started to the adjoining states, but the problem is compounded by insufficient or inordinate delayed rains in neighboring states. A contingency planning for kharifas well as for rabi crops was immediately rerquired particularly for arid regIOn. Since its inception, CAZRI has been engaged in developing technologies for drought proofing in the arid region. Techniques for wind erosion control, in situ moisture conservation, integrated nutrient and pest management, fanning systems involving agro~ forestry, agro-horticulture and silvi-pastoral have been evolved. Drought~tolerant genotypes of crops and perennial species have also been identified. The NATP programmes under Arid Agro-ecosystem is a forward step to strengthen the drought proofing of the arid region In order to consider suitable Sh011, medium and long-term strategies to combat droughts in the region, a brainstorming session on "Drought management: Contingency plaJll1ing" was organised by CAZRI on August, 20 and 21,2002.

  • Pression from a William Shakespeare Play Used to Convey That Even the Meekest Or Most Docile of Creatures Will Retaliate Or Get Revenge If Pushed Too Far
    THE WORM IS TURNING A documentary film by Hilary Bain and Åsa Mark Total run time 103 min • Aspect ratio: widescreen • DVD video Website and Trailer: thewormisturning.com Publicity contact: [email protected] + 1510-408-9892 [USA] + 612-8006-1705 [Australia] THE WORM IS TURNING starts in Punjab, India. After 40 years of chemical agriculture introduced as the Green Revolution, we see a dying, poisoned land: there are fields as far as the eye can see of dead soil, no trees, no birds, no insects, and polluted water and air. “Chemical farming is a system of killing all other life, to aid the growth of one single plant.” 2 Dr Amar Singh Azad, a pediatrician and community health specialist says; ”The toxins have penetrated so deep that they are affecting every aspect of life. We are already in the very active process of slow death. And this phenomenon is happening in other parts of the world also but in Punjab particularly, it’s very intense, very intense!” A train that leaves every evening from Bathinda nick-named the “cancer train". It carries patients to Bikaner Rajasthan as there is no free treatment in Punjab. 3 PUSHING PEOPLE OFF THE LAND The plan is to continue the corporatization of agriculture in India by eliminating most of India's farmers, there are 600 million still on the land, by making them corporate farm labor, or pushing them into cities, as was done America after World War 2. 4 THE EFFICIENCY MYTH “Our agricultural systems have developed in ways that have increased, very significantly the dependency of farming on fossil energy.” says Olivier De Schutter, former Special UN Rapporteur on the Right to Food.

  • Collected Works of Mahatma Gandhi, Volume 98
    1. GIVE AND TAKE1 A Sindhi sufferer writes: At this critical time when thousands of our countrymen are leaving their ancestral homes and are pouring in from Sind, the Punjab and the N. W. F. P., I find that there is, in some sections of the Hindus, a provincial spirit. Those who are coming here suffered terribly and deserve all the warmth that the Hindus of the Indian Union can reasonably give. You have rightly called them dukhi,2 though they are commonly called sharanarthis. The problem is so great that no government can cope with it unless the people back the efforts with all their might. I am sorry to confess that some of the landlords have increased the rents of houses enormously and some are demanding pagri. May I request you to raise your voice against the provincial spirit and the pagri system specially at this time of terrible suffering? Though I sympathize with the writer, I cannot endorse his analysis. Nevertheless I am able to testify that there are rapacious landlords who are not ashamed to fatten themselves at the expense of the sufferers. But I know personally that there are others who, though they may not be able or willing to go as far as the writer or I may wish, do put themselves to inconvenience in order to lessen the suffering of the victims. The best way to lighten the burden is for the sufferers to learn how to profit by this unexpected blow. They should learn the art of humility which demands a rigorous self-searching rather than a search of others and consequent criticism, often harsh, oftener undeserved and only sometimes deserved.
