Soil and water conservation through a systematic ridge to valley area treatment (Continuous contour trenches (CCT), afforestation, farm bunds) is done that prevents soil erosion. The drainage line treatment is also carried out beginning from the ridge with gully plugs, nala bunds, gabion structures and check dams only at the lower outlets in prominent positions. Only the check dams are cement structures the rest are constructed from locally available material. All the work including marking of the structures, the layout of the plan is done by the Village Watershed Committee and the Panlot sevak and is supported by the engineers of WOTR. The plan is made by Participatory Net Planning method.
Wasundhara approach: It includes four key elements viz.
a.implementation of the project through Village Development Committee (VDC) which is a subcommittee of Gram Panchayat
b.formation of VDC wherein every section of the society is represented and women have 49% to 51% representation
c.village envisioning by villagers
d.wealth ranking that helps in obtaining contribution in equitable manner favoring disadvantaged.
-Fodder management through convergence: Fodder is one of the important factors that have to be taken care of for livestock. Various stakeholders have to act together for fodder availability issue. Through convergence various stakeholders (government departments and villagers) came together to form sub networks that helped mobilization of farmers/livestock keepers.
-Promotion of renewable energy sources, hot water chullas, tree plantation, health and sanitation, agricultural based technologies have also been given due attention.

Large number of plantation (110,000) on wastelands and mountains where earlier only black rock and cactus existed leading to carbon sequestration and afforestation. This led to reduced soil erosion and increased ground water level. The ban on felling of trees and free grazing of livestock on treated areas has also greatly helped the regeneration of trees, grasses and biomass.
Fodder innovation project helped in improved land use efficiency for fodder production and its use. This is linked to UNCCD theme which establishes sustainable systems for managing rangelands and livestock production in the rangelands in an economic and socially equitable manner.

- Wasundhara approach created the necessary dynamics and incentives to the VDC, the Samyukta Mahila Samiti and the Panchayati Raj Institutions to demonstrate a positive discrimination in the favor of the disadvantaged. Village Development Committee gives special attention to its poor. |
The mechanism to share the benefits in terms of grass output, the priority to harvest the grass from this land is given according to: Landless poor livestock keepers, marginal farmers, farmers don’t have land for fodder cultivation, farmers don’t have irrigation facility and the better off farmers.|
- Fuel wood, dung cake and kerosene were earlier used for lighting and cooking purposes and in order to meet this need trees had to be cut down but as a result of women’s initiative, the village now has 160 solar lamps, 15 smokeless chulhas and 32 hot water chulhas.|
- Increase in land use area from 600 ha to 800 ha for Kahriff crops, from 30 ha to 400 ha for Rabbi and from 0 ha to 10 ha for summer crops. And increase in per acre production (Quintals) of rice from 10-12 Bags to 20 Bags.|
- Fodder which was available only for six months earlier, now is available throughout year and extra fodder is sold which has become a source of income for the villagers.|
- Waste land reduced from 300 ha pre-watershed to 55 ha post-watershed.

Convergence approach which was adopted for fodder management and demonstrated successfully at Wankute village is now being spread to other WOTR project areas in its Climate Change Adaptation project.
The Wasundhara Approach has been adopted by WOTR in its all project areas which amount to over 200 project areas. Also ridge to valley approach as demonstrated by WOTR has been adopted by NABARD and Government of Maharashtra for their project areas

The two of the best practices mentioned above requires decisions and activities to be taken collectively by the villagers. Nobody can do it in isolated independent way to adapt whole village and clusters need to take decisions together. Our experience has shown that the holistic approach adopted in these best practices strengthens the community which eventually helps them in adaptation to climate changes.
Water availability issue could be one which can help villagers to come together and solve the problem they are facing. However this can be taken as a starting point for holistic development as shown by the activities described above (Wasundhara Approach). The promotion of clean and renewable energy, health, nutrition, sustainable agriculture practices like organic farming, micro farming, drip irrigation, water budgeting etc will definitely help community to face the challenges posed by climate change. One of the approaches for this is “adaptation through mitigation”. The proposed automated agro-meteorological stations at the village level will help the local farmer link their agriculture planning to data obtained from their local station thereby helping them to act according to the climate.     
Also fodder innovation project has shown that villagers have started using the “convergence approach” to solve the other issues that they are facing. This could be a good example of adaptation wherein one uses his/her learning from one situation to implement in another.
The village falls under rain shadow region and hence the activities that have been conducted have helped in mitigating important issues that rise due of water scarcity. The soil and water conservation activities that have been conducted has helped in stabilizing the resource base (land and water) so that there is less erosion and increase in biomass, this not only conserved water (drinking water availability has increased from 9 months to 12 months) but enhanced land productivity (increase in the land use for Khariff from 600 ha to 800 ha, for rabbi from 30 ha to 400ha) and its economic value also (land value of cropped land increased from ` 80,000 to ` 200,000). Ban on cutting of trees and afforestation (plantation of 110,000 trees on wasteland) helped in greening of the area. These together with the promotion of clean (hot water chullas that consume far less fuel) and renewable energy conserved the trees.
Activities aimed at health, sanitation, women empowerment through SHGs, promotion of kitchen gardens and soak pits definitely has addressed issue of holistic development in the context of climate change.
Since earlier this year we have started the improved methodology for agricultural which conserve the biomass and uses natural source including the major amount of nutrients instead the use of chemicals. WOTR has also launched two year Ecological Community Organizer course for rural youth help in tapping right talent that eventually help in mobilizing community.

• Санхүүгийн урамшуулал (жишээлбэл, хөнгөлөлттэй хүү, улсын тусламж, татаас, мөнгөн тэтгэмж, зээлийн баталгаа гэх мэт)

2. Addressing the issue of equitable distribution of benefits and involving community to distribute benefits to the poorest of the poor. And it is village’s better off who need to take concrete steps towards it.
1. Wasundhara approach that led to local initiative to take up the activities. Participative nature of all the activities ensured the community’s continuous support throughout the project period and after the completion of the project also.
3. Village envisioning helped villagers to see their future and design their own path for development of their village
The local participation the key and hence awareness building and motivation is the only way out and hence best practice(s) mentioned above can be replicated if this is taken care of.
