| Abstract | The activities undertaken under the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act in Chitradurga district, Karnataka, were assessed for their potential to enhance and provide environmental services. Key programmes implemented in 20 villages during 2009 were studied using rapid scientific assessment methods. An indicator approach was adopted to analyse environmental services such as water for irrigation and improvement in soil quality. The status of environmental services before and after implementation of the activities was examined and vulnerability indices were constructed and compared. The activities were found to have reduced the vulnerability of agricultural production, water resources and livelihoods to uncertain rainfall, water scarcity and poor soil fertility. |

| AbstractList | The activities undertaken under the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act in Chitradurga district, Karnataka, were assessed for their potential to enhance and provide environmental services. Key programmes implemented in 20 villages during 2009 were studied using rapid scientific assessment methods. An indicator approach was adopted to analyse environmental services such as water for irrigation and improvement in soil quality. The status of environmental services before and after implementation of the activities was examined and vulnerability indices were constructed and compared. The activities were found to have reduced the vulnerability of agricultural production, water resources and livelihoods to uncertain rainfall, water scarcity and poor soil fertility. In addition to directly benefi ting the landless and farmers with employment and wages, the wider, short- and long-term environmental dividends it yields are signifi cant. Since the NREGA's implementation all over India, it has been deemed to have huge potential in empowering rural communities - with work and natural capital or livelihood capacity addition. Since the main objective was to measure environmental services provided by NREGA activities, the approach adopted was to select villages where the dominant activities were implemented in a large number in earlier years. At the district level, about 2,044 activities were completed during 2006-09, which included planting trees over an area of 2,341 ha on cropland bunds, tank bunds and as block plantations. Since most of the plantations established under the NREGA are less than three years old, the following environmental services and indicators were assessed using literature-based growth rates. The income from crops cultivated increased from zero to up to Rs 1 lakh/acre/year. [...]land levelling and reclamation activities have not only helped land development but also provided large fi nancial benefi ts to individual farmers. |
