&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;The district set a record for creating 1,121 farm ponds in 30 days in September 2021, in line with the recently launched state climate mission&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;In September 2021, Tamil Nadu&amp;rsquo;s Tiruvannamalai district set a record for creating 1,121 farm ponds in 30 days by leveraging the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MGNREGS).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The initiative&amp;rsquo;s aim was to ensure adequate water for agricultural and domestic purposes throughout the year while creating assets that would make the local communities more resilient to imminent climate disasters.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Each of the ponds were built to hold about 3.6 lakh litres of water on farmer-owned lands in 541 village panchayats. This was an addition to a potential storage capacity of 40.69 crore litres.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;These ponds will help recharge local wells and other water bodies and contribute to water sustainability during non-monsoon periods.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;This initiative in Tiruvannamalai assumes enormous significance in light of the recently launched state climate mission in Tamil Nadu. Most of the water-focused activities undertaken here can also qualify as resilience-building measures against climate change.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Their benefits could be in terms of an increase in crop area, crop diversity and crop yield. An enhanced provision of water will also cater to domestic needs and can support drought-proofing measures to manage climate risks in the long haul.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The Union government increased the allocation for MGNREGS-related job boost by Rs 40,000 crore in the wake of the reverse migration triggered by the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Approximately 130 million workers availed work under the scheme in the financial year 2019-20. It is also one of the focus areas in the Centre&amp;rsquo;s Rs 20 lakh crore stimulus package announced in May 2020.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;In guaranteeing social protection for rural households below the poverty line through its mandate of providing 100 days&amp;rsquo; annual employment at a minimum wage, the MGNREGS is simple in the idea that intends to harness the potential of unskilled rural people living in extreme conditions and offering them livelihood options.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The bulk of work undertaken in MGNREGS relates to water conservation and harvesting, irrigation, afforestation and rural connectivity, which could contribute significantly to the creation of much-needed rural infrastructure.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;It has also demonstrated the potential for empowering women by providing them opportunities for paid work at par with men.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;The district set a record for creating 1,121 farm ponds in 30 days in September 2021, in line with the recently launched state climate mission&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;In September 2021, Tamil Nadu&amp;rsquo;s Tiruvannamalai district set a record for creating 1,121 farm ponds in 30 days by leveraging the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MGNREGS).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The initiative&amp;rsquo;s aim was to ensure adequate water for agricultural and domestic purposes throughout the year while creating assets that would make the local communities more resilient to imminent climate disasters.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Each of the ponds were built to hold about 3.6 lakh litres of water on farmer-owned lands in 541 village panchayats. This was an addition to a potential storage capacity of 40.69 crore litres.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;These ponds will help recharge local wells and other water bodies and contribute to water sustainability during non-monsoon periods.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;This initiative in Tiruvannamalai assumes enormous significance in light of the recently launched state climate mission in Tamil Nadu. Most of the water-focused activities undertaken here can also qualify as resilience-building measures against climate change.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Their benefits could be in terms of an increase in crop area, crop diversity and crop yield. An enhanced provision of water will also cater to domestic needs and can support drought-proofing measures to manage climate risks in the long haul.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The Union government increased the allocation for MGNREGS-related job boost by Rs 40,000 crore in the wake of the reverse migration triggered by the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Approximately 130 million workers availed work under the scheme in the financial year 2019-20. It is also one of the focus areas in the Centre&amp;rsquo;s Rs 20 lakh crore stimulus package announced in May 2020.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;In guaranteeing social protection for rural households below the poverty line through its mandate of providing 100 days&amp;rsquo; annual employment at a minimum wage, the MGNREGS is simple in the idea that intends to harness the potential of unskilled rural people living in extreme conditions and offering them livelihood options.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The bulk of work undertaken in MGNREGS relates to water conservation and harvesting, irrigation, afforestation and rural connectivity, which could contribute significantly to the creation of much-needed rural infrastructure.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;It has also demonstrated the potential for empowering women by providing them opportunities for paid work at par with men.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;The district set a record for creating 1,121 farm ponds in 30 days in September 2021, in line with the recently launched state climate mission&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;In September 2021, Tamil Nadu&amp;rsquo;s Tiruvannamalai district set a record for creating 1,121 farm ponds in 30 days by leveraging the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MGNREGS).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The initiative&amp;rsquo;s aim was to ensure adequate water for agricultural and domestic purposes throughout the year while creating assets that would make the local communities more resilient to imminent climate disasters.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Each of the ponds were built to hold about 3.6 lakh litres of water on farmer-owned lands in 541 village panchayats. This was an addition to a potential storage capacity of 40.69 crore litres.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;These ponds will help recharge local wells and other water bodies and contribute to water sustainability during non-monsoon periods.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;This initiative in Tiruvannamalai assumes enormous significance in light of the recently launched state climate mission in Tamil Nadu. Most of the water-focused activities undertaken here can also qualify as resilience-building measures against climate change.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The Union government increased the allocation for MGNREGS-related job boost by Rs 40,000 crore in the wake of the reverse migration triggered by the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Approximately 130 million workers availed work under the scheme in the financial year 2019-20. It is also one of the focus areas in the Centre&amp;rsquo;s Rs 20 lakh crore stimulus package announced in May 2020.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The bulk of work undertaken in MGNREGS relates to water conservation and harvesting, irrigation, afforestation and rural connectivity, which could contribute significantly to the creation of much-needed rural infrastructure.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;It has also demonstrated the potential for empowering women by providing them opportunities for paid work at par with men.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;The district set a record for creating 1,121 farm ponds in 30 days in September 2021, in line with the recently launched state climate mission&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;In September 2021, Tamil Nadu&amp;rsquo;s Tiruvannamalai district set a record for creating 1,121 farm ponds in 30 days by leveraging the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MGNREGS).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The initiative&amp;rsquo;s aim was to ensure adequate water for agricultural and domestic purposes throughout the year while creating assets that would make the local communities more resilient to imminent climate disasters.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Each of the ponds were built to hold about 3.6 lakh litres of water on farmer-owned lands in 541 village panchayats. This was an addition to a potential storage capacity of 40.69 crore litres.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;These ponds will help recharge local wells and other water bodies and contribute to water sustainability during non-monsoon periods.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;This initiative in Tiruvannamalai assumes enormous significance in light of the recently launched state climate mission in Tamil Nadu. Most of the water-focused activities undertaken here can also qualify as resilience-building measures against climate change.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Their benefits could be in terms of an increase in crop area, crop diversity and crop yield. An enhanced provision of water will also cater to domestic needs and can support drought-proofing measures to manage climate risks in the long haul.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The Union government increased the allocation for MGNREGS-related job boost by Rs 40,000 crore in the wake of the reverse migration triggered by the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Approximately 130 million workers availed work under the scheme in the financial year 2019-20. It is also one of the focus areas in the Centre&amp;rsquo;s Rs 20 lakh crore stimulus package announced in May 2020.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;In guaranteeing social protection for rural households below the poverty line through its mandate of providing 100 days&amp;rsquo; annual employment at a minimum wage, the MGNREGS is simple in the idea that intends to harness the potential of unskilled rural people living in extreme conditions and offering them livelihood options.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The bulk of work undertaken in MGNREGS relates to water conservation and harvesting, irrigation, afforestation and rural connectivity, which could contribute significantly to the creation of much-needed rural infrastructure.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;It has also demonstrated the potential for empowering women by providing them opportunities for paid work at par with men.&lt;/p&gt;

Mainstreaming climate resilience through MGNREGS: Learning from Tamil Nadu’s Tiruvannamalai -Nambi Appadurai and Sowmithri VR

-Down to Earth Blog The district set a record for creating 1,121 farm ponds in 30 days in September 2021, in line with the recently launched state climate mission In September 2021, Tamil Nadu’s Tiruvannamalai district set a record for creating 1,121 farm ponds in 30 days by leveraging the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MGNREGS). The initiative’s aim was to ensure adequate water for agricultural and domestic purposes throughout the year while creating assets that would make the local communities more resilient to imminent climate disasters. Each of the ponds were built to hold about 3.6 lakh litres of water on farmer-owned lands in 541 village panchayats. This was an addition to a potential storage capacity of 40.69 crore litres. These ponds will help recharge local wells and other water bodies and contribute to water sustainability during non-monsoon periods. This initiative in Tiruvannamalai assumes enormous significance in light of the recently launched state climate mission in Tamil Nadu. Most of the water-focused activities undertaken here can also qualify as resilience-building measures against climate change. Their benefits could be in terms of an increase in crop area, crop diversity and crop yield. An enhanced provision of water will also cater to domestic needs and can support drought-proofing measures to manage climate risks in the long haul. The Union government increased the allocation for MGNREGS-related job boost by Rs 40,000 crore in the wake of the reverse migration triggered by the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19). Approximately 130 million workers availed work under the scheme in the financial year 2019-20. It is also one of the focus areas in the Centre’s Rs 20 lakh crore stimulus package announced in May 2020. In guaranteeing social protection for rural households below the poverty line through its mandate of providing 100 days’ annual employment at a minimum wage, the MGNREGS is simple in the idea that intends to harness the potential of unskilled rural people living in extreme conditions and offering them livelihood options. The bulk of work undertaken in MGNREGS relates to water conservation and harvesting, irrigation, afforestation and rural connectivity, which could contribute significantly to the creation of much-needed rural infrastructure. It has also demonstrated the potential for empowering women by providing them opportunities for paid work at par with men. Please click here to read more.
