Breve descrição da melhor prática

SPWD has done a broad ecological characterization of the Jaisamand catchment area and identified the major ecological issues associated with each major livelihood system in the area. This along with the use of the Participatory resource mapping tool, formed the basis of optimisation of resources. |

Breve descrição do ambiente natural dentro do local especificado.

The typical soil in this area is chemically matured but texturally immature. The soil type varies from red loamy to sandy, gravelly to medium black soils. The soil moisture control section remains dry in some or all parts for 90 or more cumulative days per year. |
The climate is generally dry except in the south-west monsoon season. The cold season is from December to February, followed by the hot season from March to the middle of June. The south-west monsoon season starts from June end and continues up to middle of September. |
The steeply dipping phyllites and their quartzite bands stand out as structural hills and residual hills. Low relief surrounded by gently sloping erosional bed rock phyllites mainly with vener of detritus also occur as pedimentinselberg complex in between the hilly terrain.

Condições socioeconômicas prevalecentes das pessoas que vivem no local e/ou nas proximidades

According to Livelihood pattern the community in the area can be classified as farmers, agriculture labour. Animal husbandry is a secondary occupation for most of the people in the area. This reveals the significance of animal husbandry in the livelihood. |
Most of the families in the block have small land holdings that too are sloping land facing problem of severe erosion and low moisture retention. The Wastelands Characterization study by SPWD reveals that around 50 % of the private lands are in the category of pastures.
About Fifty percent of households in the area are classified as living below poverty line, including two-thirds of Tribal households. Land ownership is inadequate in size and not viable for production. Only 20% of land is cultivated and equal amount of land constitute private pastures. |

Com base em quais critérios e/ou indicadores (não relacionados com a Estratégia) a prática proposta e a tecnologia correspondente foram considerados como "melhores"?

Consensus evolved during the National Consultation process.

Principais problemas abordados pelas melhores práticas

Depletion of Land Resources and Increase In Wastelands |Decline in forested areas and vegetative cover|Higher incidence of drought |Decline in Water-table

Esboçar problemas específicos de degradação do solo abordados pelas melhores práticas

The 'forest based life-support system' dominates the life style in the hill areas, degradation of these resources adversely affect livelihoods of local communities. With the increase in biotic interference and alarming deforestation, the area under wastelands has increased significantly in the hills|

A participação das partes interessadas locais, incluindo as OSCs, foi fomentada no desenvolvimento da tecnologia?

Sim

Lista das partes interessadas locais envolvidas:

Community Members|Panchayati Raj Functionaries|Government Departments|Scientific Institutions

Para os participantes listados acima, especifique seu papel no projeto, início, uso e manutenção da tecnologia, se houver.

The local community members have crucial role in the initiative. They will lead all efforts at local level. Community members also have role in planning, implementation and management of the plans evolved. The local panchayat being implementing agency of various developmental programme will execute the plans prepared and also govern the whole initiative. Various government department will pool in their expertise and resources for the initiative. Inputs from technical institutions are utilized for the initiative. Establishment of resource centre is important to perform functions of design and delivery of the  services directly or through facilitation linkages with existing government programmes in general and NREGP in particular. Primary objective is to enable community members and PRI functionaries for aggregation of support inputs and their delivery for sustainable livelihood promotion. It will include background information on NREGP, Stakeholder mapping for NREGP, at village, GP & Block level, status of NREGP implementation in the panchayats and block.|

The local community members are integral part of the initiative, they were involved at all levels i.e. mapping, scoping, analysis, interpretation, planning and presentations.

Descreva os impactos no local (os dois principais impactos por categoria)

Sustainable use and management of local resources ensured with community participation
The degraded areas reclaimed under developmental programmes  
Restoration of the ecologically fragile areas under developmental schemes
The marginal groups got opportunities to improve their livelihoods by creation of durable assets
Production from common and private lands improved due to eco restoration measures
Participation of marginal groups ensured at all levels

Descreva os dois principais impactos fora do local (isto é, não ocorrendo no local, mas nas áreas circunvizinhas)

Promoted use of technologies and modern knowledge among local communities and brought synergy in modern sciences and indigenous knowledge through technical backstopping at grass root level
Bridged the gap between local communities and government functionaries by articulating the common aims and objectives of both the stakeholders

Impacto sobre a biodiversidade e a mudança climática

Explique as razões:

The perspective plans and annual plans prepared at village level for development of village resources have important component of enhancing vegetative cover and bio mass in the village to sustain livelihoods of communities and eco-restoration. The increased vegetative cover will contribute in carbon sequestration and will also reduce the emissions. Hence the initiative will positively contribute to climate change mitigation measures.
The resource assessment exercises conducted with local communities has helped them in understanding the current conditions of the local resources and they become aware about potentials of village resources and their developmental needs. Based on these assessments and planning exercises communities are able to prepare appropriate adaptation plan for extreme conditions.

Foi realizada uma análise de custo-benefício?

Foi realizada uma análise de custo-benefício?

Sim

Especifique:

The river basin level assessments cost around Rs. 6/- per hectare, which is nominal in terms of investment done under several developmental schemes. The village level assessment, perspective building and planning exercises cost around Rs. 35/- per hectare. This amount in reasonable as the developmental investment on 1 hactare of land in watershed framework cost between Rs. 10,000/- to 20,000/-. |
