    ANNUAL REPORT 2012 THIS IS AN INDICATIVE MAP /ARTIST’S REPRESENTATION - NOT TO SCALE PROGRAMME AREAS OF AKRSP (INDIA) GUJARAT BHARUCH, SURAT, NARMADA, TAPI, NAVSARI and DANG districts are some of the poorest areas in the state of Gujarat. A very poor tribal community lives on undulating and degraded land that was once heavily forested. Primitive Tribal Groups, largely landless, eke out a livelihood through labour and bamboo work. JUNAGADH and PORBANDAR districts face problems of groundwater depletion and salinity ingress on the coast and over-exploitation of the Gir Forest. Multi-caste and multi-religious communities are struggling to maintain their livelihoods. SURENDRANAGAR and RAJKOT districts are amongst the most drought-prone districts of Gujarat. Most of the villages in these districts face an acute scarcity of water. MADHYA PRADESH KHANDWA, BARWANI, BURHANPUR and KHARGONE districts in Madhya Pradesh are home to marginalized tribal populations who live in poverty despite the rich natural resource base. BIHAR MUZAFFARPUR and SAMASTIPUR districts in fl ood-prone Bihar are low in Human Development Indices (HDI), have very low literacy rates and migration to the urban areas is key source of livelihood.

During this period, the TISS developed baseline data on social, demographic, economic, cultural and environmental aspects of individuals, families and communities in 33 villages in Akkalkuwa and Akrani tehsils of Dhule (now Nandurbar) district, and tracked changes in the habitat and life conditions of people shifted from Manibeli, Dhankhedi, and Chimalkhedi villages to Parveta (one of the earliest resettlement sites in Gujarat). While TISS moved out of its monitoring and evaluation role in 1994, it continued to track the progress made on various aspects of the SSP. Dam height has been steadily increasing and reached 121.92 m in October 2006; the final and pending phase of installing radial gates will take the dam height to 138.68 m.
