5. Myths in Watershed Projects Watersheds are in the grip of
land lords- Committees headed by influential Watershed funds are
for landed people only- cannot spend on non-land based initiatives
Watersheds are for men only- Women do not own land and hence no
role Watershed fund is mainly for construction works- COW- After
watershed project period no activity goes on- Make hay while the
sun shines
6. Sustainable Livelihoods Five Capitals Social Human Physical
Natural Economic
7. Initiatives piloted in AP under APRLP
8. Innovative Approaches in NRM Watershed Plus Approach
Watersheds as a platform for livelihoods Cost effective structures
Provision for landless families Net Planning to benefit ridge areas
Institutionalizing Capacity Building
