This document summarizes the findings of a study that assessed natural resources in a village community. It identifies water and land as the most abundant resources, but notes that water quality is poor. Key scarce resources included nutrients in the soil. The document outlines suggestions to improve water resources, such as growing drought-tolerant plants, collecting rainwater, and installing tube wells. It also provides recommendations to improve land resources, pest management, and connect farmers to markets. The conclusion emphasizes diversifying income sources, including on-farm and off-farm activities, to boost the local economy.
3. Objective
To learn the villagers perception
of what natural resources
are found in the community
and how they are used.

4. Participatory methods are simple tools
which enable farmers, working on their
own or with a facilitator, to quantify and
analyses the use and production of
resources at the farm or household
level and to present different decision
outcomes.
Introduction

6. Asking some key questions
•What resources abundant?
•What resources are scarce?
•How collect water?
•From where collect water?
•Does everyone access to land?
•Who is the ownership of this land ?
•Do you do other jobs ?
•What is the major problem, you have faced ?
•Do you have instructors ?
•Does everyone have equal access to land ?
•Do women have access to land ?
•Who makes decision on land allocation ?

9. Water resource is a cannel.
Water is not good. Polluted water.
In some place, have small agro well. That water is
clear.
This irrigation process is not possible
Nutrient Resources
Organic manure are used.
Urea is added in sometimes.
Crop transfer system is used for protect the
nutrition in soil.

10. How to develop water resources
Grow plant that are low water uses
- Drought tolerant plants
- Dry farming
- Compost & mulch/cover crops
Water purification system
Collection of rain water
- Stock rain water tank project
Using underground water
- Tube well

Rotational grazing
Conservation tillage
Introduced water supply & sanitation project.
- Advice how to improve quality of water

12. Techniques for the land development
1.Determination of land boundaries.
2.Constructing fences.
3.Doing soil tests.
4.Using fertilizers.
5.Soil conservation.
6.Keeping the land clean.
7.Weeding.
8.Using cropping systems and rotations.

13. PORCUPINE
A major problem in these area.
Cut plant parts.
Ex- Stem, leaves, fruits, flowers
Current solutions
Damages
Recommended solutions
1. Build a fence around
the field
2. Hang CD s

14. 1.Improving the knowledge of farmers using
different approaches tools.
2.Formulating a new program to connect
farmers and markets.
3.Provide pest and non insect damage
controlling.
4.Provide relief for soil and irrigation
water.

15. Conclusion
Recognizing the income potential and
economic importance of diversified interests.
such as,
on-farm non-agricultural activities.
cottage industries and off-farm activities.
Physical & social infrastructure.
