Need for NGGB intervention • To boost higher agriculture growth • Only 1/3rd of farmers practice double cropping because of; • Poor water availability (32% irrigated area) • Straying of unclaimed cattle into farms is leading to major losses • To promote optimum use of rain water through water management structures resulting in recharging the ground water table. This will also increase the irrigation potential • High rate of malnutrition and undernourishment among children and women • Indicators of health and nutrition among the tribal section (33% of population) is even more worrisome • To promote organic farming, as currently use of chemical fertilizers is increasing which is leading to deteriorating soil health • To improve cattle productivity

Gothan • CPT and fencing around 3 to 6 acres of land, identified on the basis of number of cattle • Water facilities through pond / solar pump • Dry fodder by contribution from villagers • Animal sheds and plants for shade • Facilities to be included at each Gothan - chalf cutter, travis and medicines for animals • Vermi-composting pits and beds will help in production of organic manure • Bio-gas plants for community • GothanSamiti of locals will take decisions regarding the functioning and management of Gothan • Local Charwaha will be utilized through various schemes • Plantation will be carried out all around the Gothan • Breed improvement through AI will result in increasing the Milk production
Charagah • Green fodder will be grown to supplement dry fodder • Patch of 5 to 20 acres of land identified near the Gothan in each selected Gram Panchayat • Use of different schemes like MGNREGA for land-levelling and other schemes like DMF for solar pump and drip irrigation for irrigating it • Fast growing varieties like Napier, Barshin will be grown depending on the local conditions
Ghuruwa • Organic manure production through vermi-compost and Nadep pits through various schemes like MGNREGA • Scientific upgradation of traditional Ghuruwas • Organic manure will be used in Badis • Bio-gas plants of capacities 2, 3, 4 Cu.Mtr through CREDA department
