Chambal ravines have challenged all efforts made so far to control and
reclamation. Recently the Department of Forestry, Government of Madhya
Pradesh, undertook a project to manage ravine land through construction of
anicuts and afforestation, which not only reclaimed the ravine land but also
saved farmers cultivated land downwards in two village viz. Bindwa and
Himmatpur. The construction of anicuts and afforestation had a great impact
on the economy of both these villages. The impact was assessed by collecting
socio-economic data through pre-tested questionnaires and interviews. As a
result of the project work, the net cultivated area increased 13% in Bindwa
village and 6.5% in Himmatpur. There was rise in water-table in both villages
and consequently the irrigated area and cropping intensity in these villages
increased by 73% in Bindwa village and 45% in Himmatpur. Farmers started
raising more remunerative crops including vegetables as well as fodder for
milch animals and consequently their annual income increased more than 3
times. Also, there was a significantly higher employment generation and
overall prosperity.
