Study Notes
Climate Action
- Climate change worsens poverty, inequality, and resource depletion, increasing rural vulnerability.
- Rural households depend on climate-sensitive sectors like agriculture and livestock, making them susceptible to environmental variations.
- Specific interventions are necessary based on diverse agro-climatic zones to address varying climate risks.
- NABARD is proactive in climate adaptation, offering assistance in sustainable projects like orchard development and watershed management.
Watershed Development Programme
- Post-project vegetation index values in Kerala indicate robust green cover (values exceeding 0.4) and resilience to climate change.
- 90% of farmers gained drinking water access following project implementation, with sanitation coverage in Jharkhand rising over 95%.
- 50%–82% of farmers benefited from collaboration with additional developmental schemes.
- Over 80% of farmers received training in precision farming, water management, and integrated farming practices, contributing to improved soil organic carbon levels and diversified livelihoods.
Tribal Development Fund (TDF)
- Financial support for TDF projects has increased, with grants now reaching ₹75,000 in general areas and ₹81,000 in challenging regions.
- An additional ₹25 lakh can be sanctioned for sustainability plans within TDF projects to ensure enduring benefits.
- Emphasis on aiding Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Groups and credit-deficient districts in project identification and execution.
- New initiatives include establishing nutri-gardens to enhance family nutrition and generate income from surplus produce.
Towards Achieving Harmony with Nature
- Springshed development in fragile ecosystems of the Himalayan and North East Regions revitalizes drying springs, improving drinking water supplies and enabling off-season farming.
- Advanced geospatial techniques are applied for groundwater mapping, enhancing project planning and implementation across several Indian states.
- The JIVA Agroecology Programme spans 24 projects in 11 states, focusing on natural farming to elevate income, soil health, and agricultural sustainability.
- Average agricultural income per household rose from ₹19,435 to ₹60,249, while allied sector revenue among landless families improved significantly.
