NRM and Climate Change
Natural resource management, especially in the context of climate change, begins with water: the lifeblood of rural life and livelihoods. PANI’s approach places water at the centre of ecological and community resilience, recognizing that how a village manages its water determines much of its future. Through collective stewardship, communities are supported to revive traditional wisdom, adopt sustainable practices, and reclaim their agency over local water systems. But water is only the beginning. Soil, forests, and biodiversity are treated not as commodities, but as shared inheritances that must be cared for across generations. By integrating environmental responsibility with local governance and everyday practice, PANI fosters a culture of regeneration where farmers become guardians of aquifers, women lead watershed efforts, and children grow up seeing conservation not as an obligation, but as a way of life. In a time of climate uncertainty, this grounded, community-led ethic offers a hopeful and enduring path forward.
Promote sustainable and community-led water resource management by restoring and improving water bodies, fostering responsible water use through awareness, establishing Jal Samitis for participatory governance and enhancing ecological balance through plantation and green cover initiatives.
