Rural livelihoods, which depend heavily on the monsoons, are particularly hard-hit by climate change. As Indian farmers struggle with poor yields, dwindling resources and unpredictable weather, what are the means to sustain their livelihoods?
The Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation – with M.S. Swaminathan Research Foundation and other partners implemented a project focusing on community level adaptation.
The pilot interventions in two Rajasthani villages show are examples of how science and local knowledge can work together; and the people and the project officers narrate their experiences in determining and engineering local-level adaptative solutions to climate variation and change.

“A single candle can light up an entire room, but no amount of darkness can suppress it.” Let’s turn on the lights, and watch the roaches scatter!
So here’s the NEW RULE:
being as:
Any group or system that is reliant on your contributions is thereby subservient to you.
It shall be that:
The ones in charge of that system shall have NO CLAIM TO PRIVACY WHATSOEVER.
Think about it, you can go as far as demanding satellite surveillance, gps trackers (for more significant institutions like government) anything… and hundreds of thousands will still compete for the job.
So the higher your demands, the higher your expectations, the better these leadership roles will be fulfilled by good honest people with noble intentions.
It sounds serious… but somethings should be taken seriously… for a healthy change.
(p.s. I’m not stupid, I know this idea threatens the livelihood of criminal syndicates around the world, and I’m well aware of the dangers involved in issuing this call… But I really believe that the vast majority of people, even among these criminal syndicates, would prefer a better world if they only believed it was really possible… to see it in their own lifetime… And I really have no choice but to just have faith in them.)
So have ya a thought to spare? Drop it in the comment box and let’s see what happens… =)

Although there appears to be an enduring concern with Indias poor within the policy circle and in public discourse, is this debate leading to new and innovative ideas on how to pull millions of Indians out of grinding poverty? What is the way forward? Should the emphasis be on skills development, agricultural development, microfinance, market access etc? What other models of rural development do we need to examine?
