CGIAR October 12 2024

 

Jhansi, Uttar Pradesh – A high-level delegation from the Government of Uttar Pradesh recently visited four villages in the Bundelkhand region where science-backed interventions, in partnership with ICRISAT, have transformed deserted wastelands into water-abundant croplands. The success of these interventions, benefiting thousands of households, has inspired the Uttar Pradesh Government to explore scaling up the project across a wider area.

 

"The Bundelkhand pilot project showcases the transformative potential of science-backed Natural Resource Management integrated with traditional knowledge. Our restoration of neglected heritage water structures have significantly increased water availability, bringing migrant farmers back home. Previously fallow lands can now produce three crops a year, greatly enhancing livelihoods," said Dr Jacqueline Hughes, Director General of ICRISAT, commending the Uttar Pradesh Government for its plans to scale up the initiative.

 

The Uttar Pradesh delegation to Bundelkhand comprised Dr KV Raju, Economic Advisor to the Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh; Ms Monika Garg, Agricultural Production Commissioner; Mr Junaid Ahmad, Chief Development Officer of Jhansi; and senior officials from various line departments. The ICRISAT team was led by Mr Sanjay Agarwal, Assistant Director General, and former Secretary of Agriculture, Government of India, alongside Dr ML Jat, Global Research Program Director—Resilient Farm and Food Systems.

 

During their visit, the delegation toured Bhadokhar and Nota villages under the Tahrauli Project, Sutta village in Jhansi district, and Pura Birdha village in Lalitpur district, where ICRISAT-led interventions have been implemented.
