Activities within the grant and expected impact:
The project is towards enhancing livelihood resilience and improving quality of life of 1,025 families (6,179 individuals) in six tribal dominated villages of Khedbrahma taluka of Sabarkantha district.

The objectives of the project are to:

	Create sustainable livelihood opportunities
	Increase the employment opportunity at village level
	Increase drinking water, food, fodder and fuel availability

Key activities and the expected impact are as follows:

	Community capacity building through various training programmes and exposure visits towards understanding of improved agriculture practices, forest management, exposure visits, etc which would reach out to over 1,025 households and lead to improved knowledge, attitude and practices of community, thus enhancing quality of life.
	Improved agriculture and allied activities over an area of 400 acres, covering over 450 households leading to at least 25 per cent increase in the crop productivity and average increase in income by Rs5,000 – Rs8,000 through improved agriculture practices. Further, animal health camps would help reduce animal mortality to zero and augment milk production. Finally, additional 50 acres of land would be brought under horticulture and through this, additional income to the tune of Rs8,000 – Rs10,000 is envisaged from the third year of the project.
	Soil and water conservation activities such as continuous contour trenches, farm bunding, earthen gully plugs, etc across 839 hectares, thereby enhancing agriculture by as much as 20 per cent. To sum up, the income of the project beneficiaries through the various livelihood interventions and stabilisation of productivity of major crops is expected to increase from the current Rs20,000 per annum to about Rs30,000 per annum at the end of the project period.
