 I am extremely thankful to the organization to select the case study in the international conference. We are fortunate enough to have a support of the FCDO by which we are enough to have the support of RBI. We could demonstrate such a brilliant case which speaks about the local adoption to climate change. Now I request my colleague to present the case. Thank you. Hi everyone, my name is Tularev. I am representing SUVA. I am representing SUVA. We are working at the Basics level. Today I am going to speak about MG, MG Energies and how it has impacted the lives of people through the help of ICRG. Next slide please. So, yeah, Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantees came, often called as MG Energies. It was passed by the Government of India in 2005 with an aim to provide livelihood securities to every household who is adult members volunteer to do on-skilled manual work at least for a period of 100 days. It is one of the largest public program in the world with an annual budget of 13 billion US dollars. And it also covers districts of India except the one with 100% urban population. When we speak about MG Energies, so I would like to recite one saying of Mahatma Gandhi that India lives in its villages. And yeah, of course more than 65% of our population lives in the villages and most of the people are agrarian. So most of the employees are landlays and marginal farmers looking for livelihood opportunities. So, and we all have witnessed the aftermath of COVID-19 and how it has drastically impacted the socio-economic condition of the people. And you can see the map, you can see the graph here that depicts a strong administrative structure from national village level based on bottom up and participatory planning with social audits for downward accountability. And all the government machineries, you can see all the government machineries are involved in the success of schemes like central government, state government, district administration, block administration, village panchayats and of course the main stakeholders are the households. And in this particular situation the households of the Saharpada block. So till now this scheme has covered more than 125 million households and 250 million people across rural India. So next slide please. Yeah, so infrastructure for climate resilient group that is ICRG. It is a bilateral cooperation program between the Ministry of Rural Development that is MORB, Government of India and the Foreign Commonwealth Development Office. That is FCDO with the aim to provide or aim to improve the uptake of service delivered by the MG Energies scheme through systematically considering climate change in its planning and implementation and thus supporting supporting resilience of growth of society that are most vulnerable to climate change. And specifically it aims to strengthen the quality and the productivity of infrastructure built under MG Energies to support a resilient livelihood through groundwater recharge like micro irrigation, soil and water conservation and plantation. So ICRG plays a big role over here and it also provides technical assistance to the Ministry of Rural Development, Government of India and its three states basically in Bihar, Chhattisgarh and Odisha. So next slide please. Yeah, so this slide speak about using of MG Energies to support adaptation and moving beyond vulnerability threshold in Odisha. So how it has impacted the lives of people here. So climate risk management is basically integrated in MG Energies. So it is yielding results helping poor invest in climate resilient and livelihood strategies. It is also created a platform by way of setting the barren land and provisioning water bodies. And the next one is it also helps the community to engage in farming farming or farming related activities throughout the year. It is helping the people to earn more and creating employment opportunities. And it is also helping to stop the migration also as a certain extent. It has drastically changed the lives of people in Saharpada through this particular program. And so many people have been benefited out of it, like cultivation of potatoes and also they have been head through this program by building different kinds of bunds like watershed and water harvesting also. Everything has been helped by this particular MG Energies and ICRG program. So many civil tribes community, especially the gundu community has been helped. I know they have been their lives have been changed you can say at certain extent. So next one please. Yeah, this is next slide please. So this slide speaks about the aligning with the eight LLA principle and initially we know we have been told regarding the eight LLA principle how it has helped the people and especially helped the people and it has been changing the lives of people particularly. And we have adopted five principles over here. So five principles here in Saharpada block. Like the first one is developing decision making to the lowest appropriate level, and where what what what we have done the community leaders participate in decision making forums then we have actively engage them in planning and monitoring, as well as in adaptation of work in their local area. The second one is addressing structural inequality inequalities faced by women, youth, children are disabled and displaced and indigenous people and marginalized ethnic groups. Yes, and we have been helping the community here. The tribals we are helping here specifically the gundu community the stage, and we are bringing them to the mainstream specifically to the women to the mainstream, and the fourth, the fourth one is investing in local capabilities to leave an institutional The key strategy to develop of building are the local capabilities to understand climate issues plan and execute how we we are going to execute that and we have been executing nicely over here. In the other hand, through direct support of ICRG. And the ground issues and initial challenges have been addressed all the whatever problem has been faced by the people over here, and it has been addressed by this program and specifically with the help of ICRG. And the initiative has already been institutionalized and owned by the administration and hence it is sustainable in long run. Yeah, this program is sustainable in the long run. And the fifth one is building a robust understanding of climate climate risk and uncertainty group sensitize sensitize has been done through CSO like Suba we have been sensitize the people we have created awareness program. We have been trying them to bring them to the mainstream and so many people has been come, come to the mainstream, and they have been their lives have been changed to socially economically, as well as climatically also. I'll also speak about in the next slide about the same thing. How the journey, this is the journey of the adapting the next slide please journey of the journey of the adapting climate change impacts and moving beyond a vulnerability threshold. Yeah, this slide specifically speak about how we have helped those people how we have changed their lives. Due to the successful implementation of the scheme in Saharpada blog, the lives of people has been immensely impacted in terms of socially, economically and environmentally. And economically they have been impacted due to the convergence with ITDA converted we have been you know converted cultivable waste land to a productive productive land with intensive integration of farm based livelihoods, giving livelihood security to families directly. You know the cropping area of the farmer has been, you know, rose from five acre to 33 acres in current season and five acres to 18 acres in rubbish season here. And their income has been also drastically increased here. Then how they have been helped to socially. What happened continuously, we have provided them training support. We have we have been sensitized them to this know they have been, you know, they are enabled to take part in the decision making system and increased mobilization mobilization to public places such as engagement with stakeholders and all. So the linkage with the various line departments, such as ITDA and OIC enhanced the income of the farmers and help them to think of livelihood opportunities to the year. Then how. Yeah, and also the district administration, the block administration also they have been helped, helping us immensely at the grassroot level. And the third one is the environmental impact. How it has been impacted environmentally. So, heavy run of water and soil erosion from upland to the, to the NALA check. So, the direct run of rain water to the NALA is managed thus helping in, you know, recharging of the groundwater. And we have also done the soil quality and the moisture content of the soil is now enhanced over burn cultivation burn cultivation adopted by farmers led to strengthening of burns. So they have been immensely held. And finally the last one is institution strengthen to sustain the initiative by by the administration owned guidelines to the scale of the initiative development. So, they have been held. They have been impacted. Their income has been increased on you can say double also because they are earning much more than before after the intervention I can say. And they're like life's totally their lives is changing and it will be changed in the in view course also. So, we can be we can also replicate in other parts of the state, or other part of the district as well. The last one is looking forward. So, what what opportunities are are lying ahead for the next three years, the MJ energies continue delivering climate resilience infrastructure across the cluster. So, we are doing ICI integration approach with IDA and way I see. Then, we need to continue to strengthen the capacity of implementing agencies who are implementing the project at the grassroot level on climate responsive planning and planning and designing of assets. Then, the increasing the collaboration with other departmental schemes, we can easily converge this team with others departmental schemes, especially forestry, water resources, agriculture, and the next. Yeah, the, as I said earlier also it can be replicated across India. Because it is we have been seeing it and in Odisha also it is one of the best case study which we can show to other other people or other part of the country. Thank you so much and thank you so much for hearing me and giving me this opportunity.
