Watershed Development Program

Watershed Development Program is a strategy for integrated rural development, especially in rain-fed and drought prone areas. GSS is working on Integrated Watershed Management i.e. incorporating natural resources management with community livelihoods in a sustainable manner. This approach requires participatory planning with the people, to develop systems and treatment measures that are most suitable to the resources available. For this GSS is working with different village level institutions and their local leaders to sustain their ecological system. Currently, GSS is directly implementing watershed programs for 5590 acres of land in 18 villages. For ensuring quality in planning and implementation of watershed projects, GSS is using Geospatial Technology through the application of modern tools of Remote Sensing and Geographical Information System (GIS).
