Urge parties to frame policies to preserve

MUNDRI:
For southern Rajasthan’s tribals, the Assembly elections are an opportunity to press their demand with the contesting political parties for framing policies that ensure food security, even while helping them preserve indigenous practices, and assist in forming new linkages with the local health and financial services.

The region’s tribal population wants political representatives to make interventions to help the community improve resource management in agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry, pasture, medicinal products and fruits.

While tribal communities residing in Banswara and Dungarpur districts earlier enjoyed a forest resource based livelihood, large-scale deforestation has forced them to shift to farming on sloping land and caused degradation. Continued and damaging water run-off that has resulted in the loss of agricultural land along the stream course in several areas and led to adverse effects on ground water conditions in Banswara district. Mundri village, situated 70 km away from the district headquarters, depicts the dilemma of farmers in the selection of crop pattern for such land.

Tribal activist Amrit Lal Harji, a recipient of the Ummed Mal Lodha environment award, said that some aspects of rain-fed agriculture had revealed that it had the potential to protect farmers against the impacts of climate change and promote the rich food diversity still conserved by tribal families.
