Activities within the grant and expected impact:
Over the next five years, Sadguru proposes
to further develop and strengthen land and
water resources, along with concentrated market
focused diversification of agriculture. It
would also promote and strengthen collective
action through institutional building. Sadguru
would consolidate its program activities and
cluster villages in blocks of Dahod, Garbada,
Jhalod, Fatehpura, Dhanpur, Limkheda and Devgarh
Bariya (all in Gujarat), where it covers almost
72 per cent of the total villages through
various interventions. Besides consolidating
work with existing families, this phase would
also help in ensuring sustainable livelihood
development for additional 65,460 small and
marginal tribal farmers, with land holdings
aggregating to at least 64,000 hectares. The
key activities proposed include:
The proposed activities include:
|
|
Construction
of 65 community lift irrigation schemes |
|
|
Construction of
50 water harvesting structures (check
dams) |
|
|
Setting up community
level drinking water schemes
|
|
|
Promotion of agro forestry led farm
forestry models |
|
|
Promoting horticulture,
floriculture and vegetable cultivation
|
|
|
Promoting micro-watershed
development |
|
|
Promoting animal
husbandry |
|
|
Enhancing awareness
and access to safe sanitation at the
household level by enhanced rural sanitation
infrastructure and installation of bio
gas units for energy |
|
|
Developing and
supporting village institutions |
|
|
Promoting and
strengthening women SHG federations |
Based on past experiences and available data,
an increase in annual income from Rs15,000
to at least Rs30,000 is expected as a result
of the above interventions. Sadguru will also
use its practical experience of working with
the government schemes on a large scale to
help bring in more favorable programme design.
