Conservation
On June 11, Kishor organised programmes
in Kondegaon and Sitarampeth to motivate and engage villagers in this season’s
plantation drive in the area. We have also motivated village children to
participate in the plantation drive.
We have also cleared the area
around 6 hand pumps and 3 small waterholes around the villages on June 16 and
June 20. Our team cleared the areas, removing scum and organic growth.
Ahead of the monsoon, we
organised 3 programmes at Khutwanda, Mudholi and Katwal to prepare sites for
plantation of saplings. Around 60 villagers participated in the programmes in
which 220 pits were dug. Saplings will be procured and planted after the rains
set in.
World Environment Day 2017
On the occasion of World Environment Day 2017, June 5, we organised
several nature and wildlife oriented activities. Students from Khutwanda and
Katwal villages participated in the celebration. We organised a rally where children
chanted slogan and conveyed the message of nature conservation.
Children from Khutwanda and Katwal villages participated in a
nature trail for bird watching and nature games organised on the day. We took
children to a water body adjoining the villages where they spotted some wetland
birds.
We also organised a competition in Katwal village in which
school children drew pictures on environmental issues.
Environment Education
Only three visits to classrooms could
be arranged as schools were closed till late June for the annual summer
vacation. Our field assistant Kishor Dudhbarai interacted with the students
after their summer break.
Employment Cell
We organised several awareness programmes
in June for unemployed youths and women’s self-help groups (SHGs) focusing on
alternative livelihoods which would reduce dependence on the forests.
We introduced them to district
level vocational training and employment schemes like hospitality courses under
Deen Dayal Upadhyay Gramin Kaushal Yojana (DDUGKY). Details of the programmes
are given below:
