Project Detail

To improve the soil fertility and decrease the soil erosion by promoting sustainable integrated farming system

In proposed project area soil erosion is a major problem due to slop run off resulting in low productivity of land which affects the farmer income and survival of family becomes difficult. As such the project aims to increase farmers income through land treatment to reduce runoff water by way of levelling and bunding thus promoting sustainable integrated farming with 1000 farmers, Run millets revival drive, besides promoting solar stove for cooking, plantation of immunity booster plant at Household level. The expected project outcome is restoration of 500 Ha land, 100 Household will use solar stove for cooking that reduce the smoke thus reducing consumption of firewood and positive impact on environment and health. Adopting sustainable integrated farming farmer will earn from multiple sources of the subsystem with incurring low cost and achieving increase in net income.

Project Characteristics and Results

Inovative Financial Mechanisms

For Knowledge Management organization proposes to use social mediabest practices. Innovation, success stories of project will be video-graphed as documentaries and presented as case studiesto share globally with other boundary partners,Government, stakeholders, donors thus trying to showcase some best model that can be scaled up by other organizations. DARSHANA also intends toconduct experience sharing workshops.

Notable Community Participation

In Bundelkhand women are doing cooking work in kitchen and face trouble with smoke during cooking- when project will provide solar stoves it will be great help for kitchen women. Women are also involved in agriculture work specially they manage the homestead nutrition gardens. 1000 male farmers are proposed to be directly involved in project intervention. Youth of the villages adopting innovative approachwill be engaged as lead farmers change agent who will learn and spread information and knowledge with others community members in the villages and project intervention will be scaled up at large so in the end of project entire landscape is expected to be saturated.

Gender Focus

Promoting Public Awareness of Global Environment

Organization always adopt the participatory method for communicating theme among community. We are already using participatory learning and action tool (PLA) on different thematic subject like ? health , Nutrition , agriculture, Natural resource Management , WASH etc. We have ready to use modules, Manual, IEC material about it. It is very effective tool and community take ownership by this in project planning and execution of plan. We will select some volunteers or champions from the community who are performing well and make them ambassador of the project then they will disseminate the message in very effective way.
