Coping with Complexity


Mapping Sustainable Agriculture in Orissa using Research & Technology for Development Framework

by C.Shambu Prasad & Sumita Sindhi

XIMB, CWS / KICS is hosting a workshop along with University of Maastricht on 6th of March.

The purpose is two fold, first to continue the dialogue process on policy formulation by using the RTD framework. Second, to explore the modifications that might be needed in the RTD framework in the Indian context and perhaps at the state level.
 

While most of our output is in terms of sharing, comments, and these find their way into this website, we do have a few publications, when we have met, cogitated on and feel that we need to put it our in physical form.

Improving Efficiency of Groundwater Pumping for Agriculture: Thinking Through Together

by Rama Mohan RV and Sreekumar N

Groundwater pumping using electricity is a troublesome issues in India, leaving all actors-the farmers, Distribution Company, State Government and environment conscious analysts-frustrated and dissatisfied. Farmers are frustrated with the poor quality of electricity supply, distribution companies with the low revenue, State Government with the high levels of subsidy and the environmentalists with inefficient water use resulting in falling water tables. Level of mistrust between actors is also quite high.

Efficient use of electricity as well as using electricity as an effective instrument for different use of groundwater are paid least attention in the current subsidised tariff regime. The process of evolving a sustainable solution is not clear.
