Impact Assessment of Natural Resource Management Project in a challenging Aravali Ecosystem - A Case Study of Gualda Village
The SPACE reported both positive and negative impacts of the programme and indicated questionable viability of investments on certain unproductive initiatives. As a consequence, the steering committee in its meeting of April 30, 2010, decided to conduct a mid-term review of the project to consolidate the achievements and experiences of the last four years and then modify the future implementation strategies. For this purpose, the management decided to take up a comprehensive social, economic and environmental study of one of the typical village, well treated with the package of practices. Ultimately, village Gualda situated on southern aspect of Aravali hills, where works started in the year 2006 and received maximum interventions upto 2010 was selected for the study. Gualda has a total population of 6691 spread over 1152 families and occupy 1521 ha total geographical area. Out of 1329 ha cultivable area, 335 ha was situated below the Aravali hills as barren, uneven, undulating wasteland owned by poor families. This land was providing no returns except its use as common grazing ground. Livestock rearing, labour wages in mining and traditional agriculture were the main sources of income of the meo-muslim community having large size families.
