Our organization NIRMAN has created interesting models of inclusive rural transformation particularly through the water harvesting structures constructed on participatory mode in several villages of the tribal Block of Dasapalla in the district of Nayagarh in Odisha/India. Some of the relevant links are as under: https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7242404744785190912

In the participatory initiative, the village community as a whole contributes to the construction either in cash or kind/labour as the work is intended for them and is to be owned by them only. Of course in exceptional cases where they are otherwise not in a position to contribute the project cost is totally borne by NIRMAN-Karl Kübel Stiftung für Kind und Familie(KKS)-Federal Ministry of Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ,Germany) partnership with the major support coming from KKS-BMZ.
