Краткое описание природной окружающей среды в месте применения

Red and yellow soils in association with black soils are found in Paikmal. Occurrence of black soils could be attributed to limestone parent material in these areas and such materials transported by Ong river and its tributaries.
Topography is undulating. At the ridge crest
are the upland and at the upper slopes the bunded
and unbunded lands are locally called as 'Att' and
'Mal' respectively. Valley bottom lands  constitute lowlands are called 'Bahal'; lower valley
side lands constituting the medium lands are called
'Berna'
Climate of district is characterised by a very hot dry summer and well distributed rains in the south-west monsoon season. Cold season commences from Nov & lasts till February end. Hot season is Feb- June. South-west monsoon season is from mid-June to the end-September.

Преобладающие социально-экономические условия населения, проживающего в месте применения и/или в окрестностях

Main income sources: - Agriculture is the primary income source with 70% families depending on it. Daily wage and non-timber forest produce (NTFP) sources are the second.  
70% landed with marginal and medium holding the most; 30% are landless. Poor soil condition, high land degradation, high soil erosion because keep the productivity very low and the poor suffer the most. Distressed out migration has become a regular feature of the area.|
Land ownership correlates with control over other resources in this area. In some pockets land ownership is there but the actual land owners are in acute poverty condition. Due to other related socio economic condition people mortgage the land in low prices for maintenance or survival.

На основании какого критерия и/или показателя (не относящихся к Стратегии) предложенная практика и соответствующая технология считается передовой?

Consensus evolved during the National Consultation process.

Основные проблемы, которые позволяет решить передовая практика

• Increased variability of Rainfall and Temperature
• Post monsoon rainfall, particularly October rainfall
• Mean temperature rises, which may cause less rice yield.
|• Increasing episodes of drought.
• Vulnerable food production that’s dwindling fast.
• Drought in the forests and decreased nutrition intake of the villagers.
• Increased distressed migration.
|Only Environmentally sound technology is not enough to ensure Sustainable Agriculture
Economic, political, and cultural developments, even if far removed from the farm and village level, oppress the life of farmers and the farming community.
|Poverty can only worsen if farmers are not protected by a proper policy environment that insulates them from destructive technologies, abusive creditors, exploitative traders, usurious land tenure arrangements, gender bias, and disempowerment

Укажите конкретные проблемы деградации земель, которые решаются благодаря применению передовой практики

The topography of the area, which is at the foothills of Gandhamardan hill ranges, one of the biological hot spots on the Eastern Ghats, is such that with little disturbance (including changing weather condition) in the vegetation cover on the hills and lands below it the land get severely eroded.  |

Укажите цели передовой практики

Increase fertility of soil through multiplicity of ecological interventions that include water harvesting; land leveling; organic fertilizer and manure use; proper forest conservation and management; livestock management.|Increase water retention capacity of the villages by harvesting as much as rainwater as possible and promoting judicious and equitable distribution and management of the water resources.|Promoting ecologically sustainable agriculture practices and land management activities that help increase agricultural productivity; maintain crop diversity; promote indigenous climate resistant techniques and ensure equitable distribution among all the villagers including landless people and vulnerable sections like women and aged.  |Promote awareness and institutional capacity building -to spread education on impacts of the project so that scope of replicability enhances and more and more land can be reverted back from getting degraded under the current process of desertification.

Опишите результаты воздействия технологии на территории применения (два основных результата воздействия в каждой категории)

Land based netting system irrigation in farming land has contributed maximum rain water in productivity field. Improvement in non-farm sectors along with farming sector has created employment opportunity for at least 200 unemployed youth in the area.
Water retention capacity of traditional water harvesting structures of the villages has increased by at least 40 per cent.  Some local streams, which were on the verge of extinction, have started flowing again|
By the use of forest , improving land, human resource and skill 1000 families have got alternative income avenues under farm and non-farm sectors. Decreased migration has helped in increased production in crop fields by 50% as a result of increased manpower in production.|
Access of needy villagers to schemes and entitlements such as the NREGS , Old Age Pension; Indira Awas Yojana; Antodaya and Annapurna schemes; agriculture insurance; Mo Jami Mo Diha; Janani Surakshya Yojna; forest development , Water, Public Distribution System (PDS, FRA ( Forest Right Act) etc|
Now 50 women self help groups have been able to save an amount around six lakh rupees and carrying out small scale business (agriculture, forest based and other types) successfully under a federation formed with support of the project.  At least 300 women have directly benefited |
Degradation of land & soil has been checked to a maximum extent.  At least 400 ha of land has been developed, restored and brought back to productive agriculture.  Forest coverage, water retention and ecological agricultural practices have improved the soil condition. |
Wild life species, especially bird species have re-emerged in the area with increased forestry and water coverage.|
Socio-cultural empowerment of the people has happened

Можете ли вы определить три основных условия, которые способствовали успеху представленной передовой практики/технологии?

The continuous drought condition in an area where drought was not seen before had already made people so much vulnerable that they were looking for some direction to fight this situation.  This became the first condition for achieving success in this model.  
Traditional water harvesting and management techniques have been a rich heritage of the entire central highlands including this area.  Any region with such traditional knowledge and techniques can replicate this approach with small local technological and social additions/adaptability approaches
These villages have been champions of forest protection traditionally, therefore, when the project talked about forest protection and management as one of the important components to arrest desertification, the people easily agreed to it and got organized|

Имеющий отношение к человеческим ресурсам

Community Resource Person strategy, that was applied in the project, is a community to community cross learning approach. It is now established that poor can meet most of their needs by coming together. It is with this conviction many institutions of the poor have been promoted in the project.  This will bring sustainability|Human resource, with appropriate knowledge, skills, abilities and aptitudes, is very crucial for not only delivering the goods and services for poor but also for the sustainability of these institutions. In this context ‘project objectives’ tried to understand the variety of human capital required and the scale in which it is required to work with/for the poor in meeting the needs of the latter. Our learning in this was successful|The project involved a cross section of people and institutions like women, farmers, tribal, dalit, teachers, Self Help Groups , Farmers club, Panchayatiraj representative, minorities, local activists, local persons having traditional, medicinal man (Badya) for successful implementation.

Имеющий отношение к финансовым аспектам

Such projects need long term financial commitments from donors, which unfortunately, we did not get from any corner|The government programmes that have been integrated into the project are having the problem of lack of flexibility in approaches.  That makes it difficult in real integration. Still the project has tried to integrate it to substantial success levels|Promoting low cost (financially) technologies that the people themselves can manage has been a good experience.  This also has vast replicability

Имеющий отношение к техническим аспектам

Using local technologies not only revives some of the age old sustainable models of development but brings back the confidence level in the poor farmers who have, over the years, lost all faith in their own capabilities.  The project achieved very good success in this|The nation needs to develop several low cost technologies based on non-conventional energy sources which we think is lacking at the moment.  If such technologies can be developed and promoted widely they could successfully integrate into local technology to arrest the process of desertification and mitigate climate change wonderfully
