In this paper, a PRAstudy was carried out in Khorwad watershed located on the
bank of the river Mahi in Umreth taluka of Anand district in Gujarat state during
December, 2011. The farmers’ perception towards adoption of bamboo in Mahi
ravineswas studied with the help of PRAtechniques in detail. Mapping of social
habitation and resources availability in Khorwad watershed was done. It was
found out that few farmers of Khorward watershed were cultivating bamboo in
ravine wastelands and boundaries of their farms, whereas they were cultivating
crops and fruits trees on leveled lands on upper side of Mahi ravines. Seasonal
analysis of bamboo cultivation activities in Mahi ravines is also dealt in the
paper. The different activities of bamboo cultivation were carried out by the
farmers and they were very much busy in the month of April to June. The
transect walk was also carried out along with the local farmers to verify and
observe the information provided by the villagers during PRA exercise. The
preference of bamboo adoption inMahi ravines by the farmers was studied and
it was found out that the 33.3 per cent of farmers of Khorwad village preferred
bamboo plantation in ravine beds. A few farmers of other villages preferred
bamboo plantation in ravine wastelands. The problems faced by farmers in
bamboo adoption in Mahi ravines were found out with the help of matrix
analysis technique. The farmers of Khorwad watershed perceived the wild
animals attack and termite attack as major problems in theMahi ravines area in
bamboo cultivation.
