  • Escaping Poverty: the Ralegan Siddhi Case
    Working Paper September 2008 No. 119 Escaping poverty: the Ralegan Siddhi case Aasha Kapur Mehta Trishna Satpathy Indian Institute of Public Administration (IIPA) What is Chronic Poverty? Indraprastha Estate, Ring Road New Delhi 110002 India The distinguishing feature of chronic poverty is extended duration in absolute poverty. Therefore, chronically poor people always, or usually, live below a poverty line, which is normally defined in terms of a money indicator (e.g. consumption, income, etc.), but could also be defined in terms of wider or subjective aspects of deprivation. This is different from the transitorily poor, who move in and out of poverty, or only occasionally fall below the p overty line. Chronic Poverty Research Cen tre www.chronicpoverty.org ISBN: 978-1-906433-20-8 Escaping poverty: the Ralegan Siddhi case Abstract Poverty remains to be the most important development issue facing India with an estimated 301.72 million Indians (27.5 percent) living below the poverty line in 2004-2005. In 1975, Ralegan Siddhi was just another drought prone, poverty stricken village, but it has had much success in poverty reduction since then. Ralegan Siddhi's success is not just a story of change as a result of access to water. This paper provides evidence of the remarkable economic, social and community regeneration in Ralegan Siddhi, due to a strong, selfless, ethical and accountable leadership as well as its replication in Hivre Bazaar. Ralegan Siddhi and Hivre Bazaar are outstanding examples of holistic development and sustainable poverty reduction, with a large number of rural households successfully moving out of poverty without slipping back below the poverty line.

(number of pages) ii Rupali Deshmukh TRITA LWR Degree Project 16:11 SUMMARY IN SWEDISH Vatten är grundläggande för människans överlevnad, en ohållbar utveckling, praxis och viljan att göra ekonomiska vinster på kort sikt, är orsaker till vattenbrist i många områden runt om i världen. Vattenbrist och närliggande frågor inverkar negativt på världens fattiga befolkning. Att bekämpa fattigdom genom integrerad vattenresursförvaltning (IWRM) är ett lovande system som garanterar långsiktig hållbarhet. Indiens jordbruk är en global kraftkälla. Jordbruket spelar en betydande roll i Indiens ekonomi. Jordbruket är en sektor som i hög grad är beroende av vatten, en resurs som blir alltmer sällsynt i Indien av olika skäl. I delar av landet, har försök gjorts under de senaste decennierna, att reglera de knappa vattenresurser mer effektivt och utnyttja dem klokare, så att jordbruket som den viktigaste ekonomiska ryggraden i de lokala samhällena, får tillgång till hållbart utveckling. Ralegan Siddhi är ett enastående exempel där regnvatten tillvaratas genom lokala åtgärder och som har möjliggjort en hållbar utveckling av hela samhället.

  • Institutional History of Watershed Research in India
    Citation: Shambu Prasad C, Hall AJ and Wani SP. 2005. Institutional history of watershed research: The evolution of ICRISAT’s work on natural resources in India. Global Theme on Agroecosystems Report no. 12. Patancheru 502 324, Andhra Pradesh, India: International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics. 40 pp. Abstract In recent years international agricultural research centers had to respond to changed mandates with a more explicit focus on poverty reduction and environmental sustainability from an earlier focus on improved agricultural productivity. Natural resource management (NRM) research has been an important area that has witnessed several institutional changes within the CGIAR system for the fulfillments of these goals. Most research centers have sought and promoted innovations through concepts such as participatory research, partnerships and alternatives to the transfer of technology approach. In this report we argue that while these changes have indeed contributed to a greater poverty focus of the CG centers, there is a greater need to understand the practice of science amongst these centers and the underlying institutional constraints that hinder or enhance learning in the proposed transition of these research centers into learning organizations. In this study the institutional history of a CG center has been used as a tool to promote institutional learning and change. It demonstrates that research managers in the CG system have not adequately accessed the institutional innovations of its own scientists in facilitating changes under newer mandates. By tracing the various ups and downs of ICRISAT’s thirty-year involvement in NRM research, this report points to the need for greater sensitivity in research design towards institutional constraints that prevent faster learning and the need for evolving mechanisms to enable real time learning in projects.
