Answer:
Hiware Bazar village in Maharashtra – a quintessential public success story
of Watershed development and Water Management.
Combined efforts of the Gram Sabha, local government and NGOs turned a
drought-ridden village into a healthy and wealthy community.
Brought about suitable changes in the cropping patterns.
One of the few cases where reverse migration was observed; a model
worth emulating.
Overcoming the ails of drought and poverty that affected the village for years, Hiware
Bazar in Ahmednagar district of Maharashtra is the quintessential example of
sustainable development achieved through well-orchestrated integrated water
management approach and unceasing public participation. The watershed development
programme in Hiware Bazar executed through Yeshwant Watershed Development Trust
and became successful because of coming together of all stakeholders including the
people, NGOs, Gram Sabha, Gram Panchayat and the State government. It is a
remarkable case in point vis-à-vis Water Conservation and Water Management.
The results which were achieved through the programme speak for themselves as the
water table in the village rose from 70-80 feet to 20 to 25 feet, suitable change in
cropping pattern was brought about (from jawar & bajra to onion, potato,
horticulture etc.) and standard of living improved considerably due to economic
stability. The programme proved specifically beneficial for farmers who were able to
build additional water storage structures. The resulting availability of good quality grass
led to improved dairy farming and subsequent increase in milk yield. Hiware Bazar story
is one of the few in India where reverse migration was observed and people who had
left affected by impoverishment returned.
