promotion of micro- enterprises and will work as a Revolving Fund. The SHGs will utilize this fund either for a joint IGA or individual activities within a group. Most of the proposed project interventions are land based, thus to provide benefits to the SHGs including poorest of poor, special activities have to be thought so that the project interventions do not profit only the landed and affluent sections of the community. This is also a mechanism to involve these people with the implementation of the project, who may otherwise remain indifferent. Working capital will be used to assist identified groups for purchase of goods and equipment if required. This will be utilized jointly and individually as per the group’s decision. Apart from this, adequate Entrepreneurship Development Trainings and skill trainings for production will be conducted. It will enable them to enhance their capacity for income generation programs. Social Mobilization / formation of Community Group: This project aims at a multi dimensional approach for decentralized watershed development, catering to a major part of rural Uttarakhand. The theme of the project is to evoke and involve communities through PRIs, for the implementation of this project and its further sustenance. The communities are actually the first vehicles or mode of contact with the watershed. The relationship of people and the natural resources are interwoven, integrating different components such as soil, water, biomass, livestock etc. on a day-to-day basis in order to sustain their lives. The status of a watershed at any point in time is a reflection of people's needs and their dependence on the land for their livelihood. Thus community members are prime stake holders in any watershed endeavor. The hilly communities have been managing their natural resources from time immemorial to fetch their needs within a framework of practices and wisdom and their economy is essentially thriving on watershed produces, therefore genuine involvement of local people in managing and improving the condition of the watershed is essential if their living conditions are to be positively improved. This plan orients around the community, its wisdom, participation and harmonious use of existing natural resources. The community living in the micro watershed will be 130
encouraged, enabled and augmented with the technical inputs to fulfill the various objectives. The motivational inputs will be environmental awareness, introducing latest technologies for improving productive potential without deteriorating the prevailing eco-system. Introducing wide and viable options for improving economic as well as environmental status will further augment this. The proposed plan will enhance the capability and capacity of communities by providing them technical assistance in an integrated coordinated way. Communities will play central role, right from planning to the management of programs. They will be responsible for overall management of the watershed and it is expected as basis for all other inter connected relations and outcomes. To achieve diverse project objectives and enable genuine community participation, the following approach is outlined. Community Mobilization: The foremost step in community mobilization involves understanding of prevailing social structure and dynamics, clan patterns as well as the influential/ dominating clusters within the community. Establishment of close rapport with all the segments of the society from vulnerable to elite groups would require special understanding of social issues and knowledge of special tools and training. Special attention will be paid to involve and gain the confidence of women folk. The IEC tools will play a significant role in the mobilization of community and these tools will be used for enabling them to understand the concept of the project as well their participatory role. With the assistance of various IEC tools suitable environment will be created for effective community participation. The essential steps conducive for effective community mobilization will be given (Table 7-c): steps for community mobilization Step Activity Purpose I Informal village level discussions (in small homogenous groups) To collect basic information about the village, with the assistance of WDT To understand the social structure and dynamics of the community.
