2. GENERAL SCENARIO –
LIVELIHOOD ISSUES IN TRIABLE AREA
• Scarcity of water
(Drinking and irrigation)
• Less crop production and
productivity
• Lack of knowledge of proper
agriculture practices and
availability of agriculture
extension services
• Scarcity of Food
• Unemployment
• Migration
3. What is Tribal Area/Who are
Tribals in India
• They are indigenous people.
• Entire Tribal belt is un-dilating terrain –vast
part of its forest and regime is remote area
and due to forest cover—strict conservation
policies did not allow even infrastructure
• They were compelled work as forest
Workers.
• After Independence and planned
development all they changed
4. TRANSFORMATION OF DAHOD – GUJARAT
• Dahod is a remote tribal district in Gujarat, India with a most
difficult terrain.
• Prior to 1974, it was the poorest district in the country and drought
prone.
• The tribal villagers migrated every year after monsoon
• The irrigation coverage was just about 5% in reality compared to 10
% on records.
• Agriculture yields were poorest with predominance of maize crop
and milk production lowest despite high cattle population.
• Literacy rate was very low.
• The undulating terrain was barren land with hardly any tree cover,
no
• forests in the designated lands or any other form of cultivation.
• Most of its forest land is without tree cover
• No horticulture, vegetable or floriculture

• Watershed management for in situ moisture conservation and
soil conservation
• Agriculture and Horticulture Development
Fruit orchard - with focus on Organic method
Vegetable cultivation- creepers on Trellis and open field
Flower cultivation
Cereal Crops- with proper package of practice
Seed production by farmers organization
Social Forestry on farmers land
• Dairy Development with tribal Households
• Promotion and strengthening of Community Based
Organisation (CBO) - helps sustenance of efforts made
