Training & Capacity Building

One of the first activities that DSC started was training of NGO members, Government functionaries and villagers. So far DSC has conducted numerous training programmes, workshops and exposure visits mainly in the field of participatory irrigation management, watershed development and agricultural productivity enhancement. The training programmes on agricultural productivity enhancement were conducted under the auspices of Sajjata Sangh, a network of voluntary organizations promoted by DSC. The experience of DSC's training activity has been instrumental in influencing the training polices at the state and the national level. The general objectives of DSC's training programmes are:

To increase efficacy of managers, implementers and trainers for implementation of watershed development, Participatory Irrigation Management and Agricultural Productivity Enhancement (watershed plus) programmes in terms of knowledge, skill, and attitude.

To replicate successful experiences of natural resource management on wider scale.
