ARUNACHAL PRADESH

Project Completed Successfully

TATA ENERGY RESEARCH INSTITUTE

“Design and Implementation of Renewable Energy Villages in Papumpare District, Arunachal Pradesh”

Grant Amount: Rs.9,81,325/ -

The main objective of the project was to design and disseminate Renewable Energy Technologies (RETs) at the village-level to meet the community needs. The project focused on efficient utilization of energy by introducing solar lanterns, solar home lighting systems, and improved chulhas (cook stoves), improved kerosene lanterns and by undertaking energy plantation in some selected villages. The activities of the project involved assessment of the energy needs, estimates supply and demand of various energy sources, design energy interventions with community involvement and set up village level committees, train beneficiaries and unemployed youth for the management of the device.

Ongoing Project

Future Generation

Community based development of an information base and preliminary management plan for the Apatani plateau and Talle valley

Grant Amount : Rs.9,68,000

To evolve an information base and yield a preliminary management plan for the project areas, the traditional tribal use and practices of the Apatani People will be drawn upon. Seed data collection will be used to formulate a documentation guided by experts. Documentation of wildlife will be done with the help of village volunteers and school students using modern technologies to capture the images of little known wildlife species in the area. Village volunteers will be involved in gathering data regarding land use and ownership in the Apatani Plateau, Traditional Apatani forestry practices including existing sustainable cultivation of bamboo and blue pine practices and other additional information. Workshops for community volunteers will be conducted through which they will be trained in data collection techniques for documenting flora and fauna.

TANYI JAGRITI FOUNDATION

Community based sustainable development on the holistic perspective of the Contour-Hedgerow (inter cropping) farming Technology (CHFT)

Grant Amount: Rs. 10,53,000/-

This project undertakes to develop prototypes of cost effective CHFT at different elevations in the project area and assess its impact on crop productivity and soil erosion. Nitrogen fixing species will be sown as for the hedgerow. Double hedgerows will be planted at a distance of 30-60 cms.. Their height will be maintained up to knee level. Alleys will be planted with suitable short and long term crop species. Mulch of hedgerow will be applied in alleys for natural decomposition and slow release of nutrients to the soil. Fuel/timber and other commercial species may also be planted with crops. An on-demonstration of CHFT models-cum-common facilitation centre with nursery will also be set up. This technology will be integrated with other appropriate technology for higher productivity through awareness programmes, networking and skill development of farmers and women. The entire project will involve farmers for large-scale replication of the technology. For this, farmers' groups/clubs will be formed and marketing skills and networking for the products will be strengthened and promoted amongst farmers.
