PROGRAMS:
Community Based Participatory Natural Resource Management
PRAYAS has been engaged in watershed management and capacity
building since the organization was founded. Under community
based participatory natural resource management, PRAYAS has
involved in 65 Villages for livelihood upliftment. Rapar is
one of the most backward areas, inhabited with tribes with
severe water scarcity and natural resources degradation
problems, which is what the programs tries to solve.
The program for community based participatory natural
resource management has established resources for way- and
water bodies, ponds, wells, check dams, irrigation
facilities, (rainwater harvesting), soil fertility
management, biomass and rural energy, augmentation of fodder
availability and veterinary care for milk cattle. Further
PRAYAS has aimed to secure restoration of handicrafts and
bharat work that came to a stand still after the earthquake
by the use of micro finance.
PRAYAS has formed village development committees in all the
five villages in Rapar with 30-50% of women participation to
ensure gender equity. Watershed awareness programmes using
audio and video spots has been in initiated. Baseline data
has been collected for the check dams and designs are ready
for renovation of four water tanks. Sites have been
identified for farm ponds and repair of wells. Besides that
one Roof Rainwater Harvesting Structures in each village as
demonstration has been planned.
