Description ICRISAT is involved in developing watershed technologies for more than
three decades. Based on the learnings, ICRISAT-led consortium comprising
of national agricultural research systems (NARSs) such as Central Research
Institute for Dryland Agriculture (CRIDA), National Remote Sensing Agency
(NRSA), Indian Institute of Soil Science (IISS), state agricultural universities
(SAUs), non-governmental organizations (NGOs), state government of Andhra
Pradesh, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, advanced research institutes (ARIs) such
as Michigan State University and University of Georgia, farmer organizations
and national governments of India, Thailand, China and Vietnam have developed
a holistic farmer-centric consortium model for watershed management. This
model based on the principles of 4Cs: convergence, collective action, consortium
and co-operation has shown good impact on field – in terms of enhanced
community participation, increased crop productivity, incomes for the farmers,
improved greenery and water availability, reduced soil loss and runoff, capacity
building and building of social capital in the target watersheds.
