Livelihood Prototype Scheme

	Livelihood prototype scheme - a view of low land well in village Dangursai

The project tiled Livelihood Prototype Scheme is supported by Meso Pariyojana, Chakradharpur, Government of Jharkhand. The NRM activities are aimed at strengthening capacity of deprived sections of the society by developing natural resources, land, water and vegetation among other things. It is envisaged that such acts will on one hand conserve the ecological balance around the villages and on the other hand the actions thus taken would amply open up the opportunities for the people in pursuing their agriculture, horticulture, livestock development, drinking water supply, fodder and fuel production and all related matters.

Soil and water conservation measures occupy a major activity among villagers. Old/damaged water sources and storage structures are being renovated and put to use for drinking water and irrigation purposes. Live stock development comprises training in a number of methods and techniques. Vaccination and breed improvement camps have also been organised.
