Success Story

There was a small piece of common pastureland in village Ushan (300 families). There was a small piece of common pastureland in village Ushan (300 families). Years ago the Panchayat (local village council) built a fence around the land. However a few influential people of the village broke the fence for cattle grazing. Eventually the entire fence was destroyed and the pastureland became barren within a few months.

The village wanted to reclaim the pastureland for the benefit of the community and organized themselves to vacate the encroachments. After much persuasion they succeeded in removing the encroachers from the land. With the support of Seva Mandir the village rebuilt the fence for the entire 7 hectares of land, planted trees, grass and appointed a guard for its protection.

The village was able to harvest grass of Rs. 700 in 2007. There are 1800 people that are getting benefits from this pastureland. The village was able to harvest the grass worth Rs 1800 last year (2009). The village pays for the guard salary with the income earned from the pastureland and saves the surplus in the village development fund every year. The pastureland also helps with wood needs.
