The experiences <strong>of</strong> VCRMC functioning reveals the potential <strong>of</strong> grassroot partnerships and<br />

linkages in leveraging the adaptive capacity and overall community resilience. Brown et al<br />

2015 mentioned the linkage <strong>of</strong> households with local informal institutions fosters social<br />

learning, which builds adaptive capacity. The linkage <strong>of</strong> these institutions with other formal<br />

local and external institutions facilitates exchange <strong>of</strong> knowledge and resources that can foster<br />

resilience. The institutional setup in NICRA villages is unique in the way that they are custom<br />

tailored to the needs and priorities <strong>of</strong> rural stakeholders addressing location specific problems<br />

in various agro eco regions <strong>of</strong> the country.<br />

Conclusion<br />

The study results reveal that the presence <strong>of</strong> exclusively functioning institutions like VCRMC<br />

with an aim <strong>of</strong> climate resilience, equip rural communities to respond better for unexpected<br />

climate shocks and induced climate awareness with access to timely climate advisory services.<br />
