Abstract/Description: | NABARD in the 1990s initiated a watershed development programme which involved conservation, regeneration and judicious utilization of natural resources. Among various components of the watershed development programme viz., soil and water conservation, crop management, fodder development, livestock management, etc. Afforestation activities were also undertaken especially on the ridges with the people’s active participation. These activities under Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) of Kyoto Protocol can demonstrate a win-win situation for stakeholders from the point of view of climate change, carbon sequestration, carbon credit and sustainable development. Properly designed, these projects conserve and / or increase carbon stock and at the same time improve rural livelihoods by supplying firewood, fodder, fruits and timber. Under the watershed approach, NABARD has developed an area of 1.7 million hectares, till December, 2009 in 17 states with grant assistance of Rs.260.58 crores and with loan cum grant assistance of Rs.386.73 crores. However, NABARD’s total commitment for watershed development with grants is Rs. 566.12 crores and under loan cum grant it is Rs. 1156.28 crores. It has also developed 45,356 ha area under WADI (a small orchard), which are basically horti-silviculture projects and are eligible for Carbon Emission Reduction (CER) and carbon credits. NABARD has appointed a consultant to undertake detailed studies of these plantations for estimating CERs and carbon credits. It has also sanctioned a climate change proofing/ adaptation project in agriculture under watershed approach to an NGO, “Watershed Organisation Trust” (WOTR) jointly with Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC), to develop more insights and working models in the agriculture sector. |
