Chhattisgarh Development

In order to deal with the issue of tribal development and the

elevation of poverty, the Chhattisgarh Tribal Development

Programme (CTDP) along with International Fund for

Agricultural Development (IFDA),a specialized agency of

UN, has formulated an innovative poverty alleviations

programme in three districts namely Sarguja, Jashpur and

Raigarh in the state of Chhattisgarh.

It deals with the objective of Chhattisgarh Development

and providing the tribal groups the sufficient habitation

facilities in the selected micro-sheds. The target group

consists of mainly tribal population.

The programme would focus on the poorest and most

vulnerable people including tribal women, youth and

children, hill cultivators, scheduled castes, and

landless, marginal and small farmers.

To ensure the household food security and improves

livelihood opportunities and overall quality of life

of the tribal population based on sustainable and

equitable use of natural resources.

For the purpose of Chhattisgarh development activities in

the village, a Gram Sabha was formed in every selected

natural village, the project implementation committee

(PIC) for preparation of plan for Gram Sabha was also

formed the other technical committees like Watershed

Committee, Community based Forest Management

Committee, Village Credit Committee, etc. for assistance

in the implementation.

The Line Departments, facilitating NGO's

provides the technical guidance and other

assistance to these committees.

It is an excellent way to help the tribal community to

access the development needs and plan and implement

appropriate development activities for improving the

living standard of the people.

The description of the project can

be given as:

Community Bio-gas project The construction of the decentralised Vermicom

posting Pit

Community Bio-gas project

Under this project, biogas plants were installed with

the help of CREDA. Each household in the tribal

region will utilise the dung of its cows to feed the

digester for the production of biogas for cooking

purpose and heating of hot water.

Its objective is to replace the commonly used inefficient

wood fired mud stoves technology, with clean, sustainable

and efficient biogas. It is very beneficial as it will save

the fuel wood and fossil fuel and will reduce the

Green House Gas (GHG) emission.

The construction of the decentralised

Vermicom posting Pit

It comprises recovery and destruction of methane

from manure and wastes from agricultural activities

which would be decaying aerobically emitting

methane to the atmosphere in the absence of project

activity.

Methane emissions are prevented by installation

of vermin composting pit. Inorganic fertiliser was

used for agricultural purpose. Its benefit is it

reduces N2O emission from agriculture.

The process of reforestation in watershed land has

also started in the area. A number of watershed

lands is utilised for reforestation activity.
