Sukhomajri Falls Apart
Down To Earth
|February 16, 2017
A model Haryana village, which had pulled itself out of poverty by managing natural resources, shuns the very model of development.
CALL IT a breakdown of people’s connection with nature or the result of an inherent flaw in government programmes, Sukhomajri is losing its sheen as fast as it had shot to fame in the 1980s. People from at least 120 countries have visited this village in Haryana’s Panchkula district to learn how community management of forest and water can pull a village out of poverty and make it self-sufficient. But chakriya vikas pranali, or cyclical mode of development that had brought it prosperity, seems to have jammed. In this model, the revenue earned from village resources is invested back into its development. But if the Haryana Urban Development Authority (HUDA) has its way, the proposed 7.3 km bypass on the Panchkula Shimla highway will deal a death blow to this village.

PUJA DAS travels across 15 villages in Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and Uttar Pradesh to investigate why rural households still rely on traditional fuels like firewood, dung cakes and crop residue that pose a health risk, and why their energy bills are rising.
