BACKGROUND AND THEME
India a home for 18% of the world’s population and over 15 % of the
world’s livestock, has only 2.4% of the land and 4.0% water resource of
the world to meet their basic requirements. Nearly 57% of the land
resource in India is facing degradation due to water erosion, wind erosion,
loss of productivity and chemical and physical degradation. About 5333
million tones of top soil is displaced every year only through water erosion
which also accounts for a loss of 8 million tones plant nutrients. About
65% rain water goes as runoff and the same % of country’s agricultural
area is still rainfed. According to National Forest Policy 1988, country
need 33% of its geographical area under forest cover but at present it is
about 19% and the effective cover is only 11%.
Man has been relying on the natural resource to meet his basic
requirement since time immemorial. With the unprecedented increase in
the population during the last few decades, clearly mankind faces
formidable problem to ensure food and nutritional security for all,
considering reduced per capita land reduced availability of water,
depleting biodiversity and need to preserve ecology and environment. The
Problems are much alarming in rural areas and consequently that about
40% farmers are not inclined to continue agriculture and migrating to
urban areas.
The natural resource management at most places in the country is
inappropriate, exploitative and unscientifically planned. Even today, land
and water are being exploited without restraint considering them as
inexhaustibly and waste are discharged freely into air and water assuming
that these have unlimited assimilative and carrying capacities. As a result
very disturbing figures of natural resources degradation have emerged.
Maximizing crop, animal, plant etc productivity through sustainable
management of natural resource is not only the need of hour but also the
compulsion to meet the food, feed, fuel and fibre needs for all alongwith to
increase constantopportunity of empowerment and mitigating migration
from rural areas and ultimately sustainable rural livelihood security.
OBJECTIVE
The main objective of the training is to provide latest and economically
viable knowledge of conservation, production and utilization technologies
of natural resources and making the rural people profitable. This course
also aims at creation of human resource for enhancing institutional
capacity and capability to carry out research activities on various aspects
of natural resource management and sustainable rural livelihood security.
This course will also provide an opportunity of interaction between experts
and participants from various universities/organizations and update them
from various scenarios of natural resource management, raising
productivity, profitability and empowerment in rural areas.
