Synopsis
This book a detailed analysis of the empowerment process of the Bhil--also discusses the implementation of the watershed project in Jhabua. This visionary operation, planned and implemented by the Bhil themselves, is also examined against a framework that links three important aspects--the biophysical (resource management and ecological balance), the socio-economic (productivity, agricultural growth and livelihood support) and the institutional (sustainable resource use, equity and benefit-cost sharing), and their complex interactions.
