CONCEPT
For Community Betterment, Make Better Environment. The mission has attempted
to integrate the concerns of poverty reduction and environment regeneration
through a strategy of participatory watershed management. Mission has
been premised on the understanding that the livelihood security crisis
that people faced in environmentally degraded lands was the result of
a distortion in the relationship between people and their natural resource
base. It has recognised that techno centric regeneration programmes that
visualised picture post-card environmental changes were unrealistic and
instead transformation could be worked only by strategies that addressed
people's livelihood concerns. Therefore Mission has adopted direct participation
by the people as a key strategy.
