Improve the quality of life of rural people so as to enable them to remain in the rural areas and to be positively involved in the management of the environment. The project particularly focused on women and the improvement of their situation by reducing their work loads and enabling them to generate income other activities. Achievement of objectives The traditional watershed objectives of reducing degradation. Socio economic objective of improving the quality of life of villagers, especially of women, and to involve communities so that they will be able to better manage their own environment in future. From a series of formal impact studies, conducted by the project staff and by the Technical Assistant Team (TA), using participatory methods, it was apparent that there had been overall success in meeting the objectives. Average scores of over 65% had been achieved for the overall impacts of project physical activities. Similarly, sectoral impact studies by the TA team had indicated significant success in meeting the objective in terms of forestry, fodder, agriculture, horticulture, livestock, irrigation and soil and water conservation. In terms of socio- economic impacts, the project had been successful in involving people in the planning, implementation, maintenance and monitoring of interventions. Environmental awareness had been raised and women had become positively involved in decision making. Village organizations set up to manage watershed activities and, through reciprocal contributions had developed viable revolving funds for future maintenance of assets and loaning to members. The GAREMA‟s had achieved an encouraging degree of sustainability and many had formed “federations” (COREMA‟s) for mutual support. Moreover, the previous dependency syndrome, geared to government subsidies, largely had been replaced by a sense of self- reliance. This augured well for future management of the environment by the communities. Although inputs were primarily land based, impact studies showed that some success had been achieved in targeting the “focus” group of poor, land–less and disadvantaged 88
people. Not all focus group members had been able to benefit and there had inevitably been some favoring of the elite. However, most communities themselves had become aware of such disadvantaged groups. The project was therefore largely successful in meeting the socio- economic objectives and in involving people, especially women. Progress was undoubtedly made in arresting the on-going degradation of the Doon Valley environment. Mainly through efforts at village level to reduce pressure on the forests.
