Title: Microfinance impact in India: A case study in Andhra Pradesh. 1. Watershed programs in India and SHGs microfinance
ثبت نشده
چکیده
In the definition by Kerr, 2002, watershed is “an area from which all the water drains to a common point”. There is therefore an interest in creating infrastructures that allow to store this water so that rain fed crops do not need to rely so heavily on the weather conditions, mainly in drought-prone regions. In rural areas where farming is the main livelihood, even slight variations in climate conditions can place a great strain in household’s economies. These shocks are specially harmful in the case of small farmers that rely completely on farm production and also for landless individuals that cannot work as seasonal labourers.
