| 00:01 | Welcome to the Spoken Tutorial on Model Village : Hiware Bazar. |
| 00:06 | In this tutorial, we will learn about - |
| 00:09 | 1. Problems faced by people of Hiware Bazar |
| 00:13 | 2. Current condition of Hiware Bazar and |
| 00:16 | 3. Practices that helped bring about these changes. |
| 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. |
| 00:44 | Fuel wood was also unavailable. |
| 00:49 | These lead to a lot of social problems like: |
| 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. |
| 01:06 | Current Condition in Hiware Bazar: |
| 01:09 | Per capita income increased from Rs 830 in 1995 to Rs 30,000 in 2012. |
| 01:19 | The village has 60 millionaires. |
| 01:23 | The number of families below poverty line decreased from 168 in 1995 to only 3 in 2012. |
| 01:34 | During the same period, milk production per day increased from 150 litres to 4000 litres. |
| 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 |
| 02:19 | 4. Ban on liquor or Nasha 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. |
| 04:05 | Consumption of liquor and tobacco was completely banned. |
| 04:10 | Gram Sabha tied up with the banks to provide loans to those who had liquor shops. |
| 04:17 | Crime rate reduced. |
| 04:20 | People got involved in more productive work which helped the community. |
| 04:26 | Kutumb Niyojan - |
| 04:28 | A strict one child per family rule was imposed. |
| 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. |
| 05:01 | From this tutorial, we can conclude that: |
| 05:04 | Collective effort of the village can bring great changes. |
| 05:09 | Panchsutri principles have proved to be very effective. |
| 05:15 | Following these practices can lead to creation of more such model villages. |
| 05:21 | This brings us to the end of this tutorial. |
