00:20 Problems faced by the people of Hiware Bazar:
00:24 The people of Hiware Bazar' depended on rain for agriculture.
00:29 Heavy soil erosion had degraded the land quality.
00:35 Drinking water was scarcely available.
00:40 They did not have enough fodder.

00:53 Unemployment;
00:55 people were finding it difficult to get jobs.
00:58 Migration;
01:00 people started migrating from the village.
01:03 And increase in crime rate.

01:43 Literacy rate has grown from 30% to 95%.
01:51 Crime rate has come down drastically.
01:54 And employment has increased.
01:57 Practices that helped improve the condition -
02:00 Five pronged approach or Panchsutri:
02:05 1. Free voluntary labour or Shramdaan
02:09 2. Ban on grazing or Charai bandi
02:14 3. Ban on tree-cutting or Kurhad bandi

02:25 5. Family planning or Kutumb Niyojan
02:30 Shramdaan-
02:32 People started working together for community welfare.
02:38 Villagers developed a work culture.
02:42 They came together to construct check dams near the hills to reduce water flow speed.
02:50 Check dams helped in increasing the ground water level and reduce soil erosion.
02:58 CharaiBandi-
03:00 Overgrazing of cattle was banned.
03:05 Overgrazing leads to desertification and soil erosion.
03:12 Ban on grazing
03:14 increased the production of grasses from 200 tonnes in 1994-95 to more than 5000-6000 tonnes in 2001-2002.
03:30 Kurhad Bandi-
03:32 Cutting of trees was banned.
03:35 Trees help in preventing soil erosion.
03:40 Soil erosion causes degradation of land and hence less farm produce.
03:47 Trees slow down rain water and help in increasing groundwater level.
03:54 Tree wastes are useful in increasing soil fertility.
04:00 Nasha Bandi-
04:02 22 liquor shops were closed.

04:33 Birth rate has been reduced to 11 per thousand.
04:39 It prevents pregnancy related health risks in women.
04:44 Family Planning also reduces infant mortality.
04:49 It helps empower people and enhance family education.
04:55 Family Planning is the key to creating a sustainable community.
