Panchayat and Rural Development Department, CG

The Panchayat & Rural Development Department, Government of Chhattisgarh has launched two statewide initiatives under VB-G RAM G to strengthen farm incomes and water security across rural #Chhattisgarh. ⭐️ Sugghar Bari brings orchards and agroforestry to upland and fallow land that has long remained unused. Fruit, timber and host trees are planted alongside intercrops, so families earn wages from the start and build a lasting source of income from their own land. Gram Sabhas select the participating families and Krishi Sakhis, a women's cadre trained with Bihan, provide technical support at their doorstep. ⭐️ Dhaar Apaar Abhiyan takes the Mor Gaon Mor Pani Mahabhiyan forward, from village water conservation to the revival of entire river systems. Working from ridge to valley, communities and panchayats will restore catchments, tributaries, groundwater and riverbanks together. Both initiatives draw on the convergence of multiple government departments and schemes, with Gram Sabhas and Gram Panchayats leading the work on the ground. TRI is grateful to the Government of Chhattisgarh for the opportunity to support both initiatives as technical partner. We look forward to working alongside communities and panchayats across the state. 👉 Swipe through to learn more about each initiative. #Chhattisgarh #RuralDevelopment #WaterSecurity #Agroforestry #TransformRuralIndia
