Participatory Rural Planning for Sustainable Agriculture: An Observation from Rural Jharkhand of India
Material type: TextDescription: 214-225 pSubject(s): In: CHAKRAVORTY S K (EDITOR) PRODUCTIVITYSummary: This article is an attempt to know how the community level participatory process could be used to advance agricultural efforts and livelihood initiatives. This empirical study is carried out in two villages of Jharkhand state in India to examine as to how the community people make an interaction with common resources for agricultural planning and development through knowledge management. It is firmly believed that humans are so called unexplored treasures and each additional individual born in this world strains world resource by being a consumer. But by being a producer, each individual has enormous potentialities to explore and contribute to the world resources. Now our concern is as on how to convert the human beings into human resources? More growth of population means, more overtax of the resources, which will ultimately result in widespread poverty and hunger (Thomas Malthus 1798). Malthus theory on population and general prediction about the common man of third world countries could be reversed by way of converting the human population into human resource through education, training for agriculture. Overpopulation is not a burden rather it may be termed as an opportunity especially for agriculture and rural development sectors. Participation is an indigenous or native instinct, which has paramount importance in helping common people in villages in increasing production and productivity. When common people unite in a participatory process they tend to explore more their inherent skills and knowledge. This empirical study is carried out in two villages of Bero block in Jharakhand state to find the systems and strategies of participatory process where the common and illiterate people became proficient to explore their potentialities for making micro-planning for village development. Various methods of participatory rural appraisal (PRA) like logical framework analysis (LFA) and objective variable indicators (OVI) are also discussed in the full paper.Item type | Current library | Call number | Vol info | Status | Notes | Date due | Barcode | Item holds | |
