Journal Title: PARIPEX-Indian Journal of Research - Year 2015, Vol 4, Issue 9
Abstract
In recent years the Government of India has adopted a ‘watershed development approach’ as an effort to reverse the removal of degraded land and thereby increases productivity and provides wage employment. Woman is the molder and builder of any nation’s destiny. Like women of other communities women among the tribal population also play a pivotal role in agriculture development and management of natural resources. The study reported that tribal women of Kundam block of Jabalpur district of Madhya Pradesh are actively participated in different activities i.e. soil-water conservation, crop production practices, practices for fuel, fodder and vegetable production. They also engaged in small-scale industries, self help groups, saving schemes and other practices. The watershed programmes in all the villages became means to harness their resources and realize their felt needs. It also helped them to develop a sense of unity, power, dignity and self-reliance. The watershed programme became a tool for the tribal women to take control of their social milieu, which affected their lives. The process provided them with an opportunity to empower themselves.
