The Village is well known all over
India for implementing the
Watershed Development Programs
successfully…….
….through Shramdan (voluntary
labour) from Villagers and NGOs
with the coordination of
Government Agencies.
It is also a Village which
implements
“Adarsh Gram Yojana”
(Ideal Village Program)
comprising Safe Drinking
Water Supply, Sanitation
facilities for each household
and Family planning.
In the past, this area frequently
suffered from draughts,
drinking water scarcity,
unavailability of fodder and
frequent migration of the
villagers to urban areas in
search of employment.
Therefore, some of the villagers
preferred preparing and selling
illicit liquor.
It had become their major source of
income, giving birth to all other evil
activities generated by the liquor.
Government records had branded
the village as a “Criminal Village”
Agricultural activity in Hivre
Bazar used to be just like a
typical village in the low-rain
fall, drought-prone, hard-rock
area in INDIA.
PROBLEMS AND ISSUES OF Hivre BAZAR
BEFORE DEVELOPEMENT
RAIN-FED CROPPING PATTERN
HEAVY SOIL EROSION
DRINKING WATER SCARCITY
UNAVAILABILITY of FODDER
UNAVAILABILITY of FUEL WOOD
SOCIAL PROBLEMS UNEMPLOYMENT
MIGRATION, FRUSTRATION
OF VILLAGERS
INCREASE IN CRIME
OVERALL BAD REPUTATION
OF VILLAGE DUE TO CRIME.
STARTING POINT:
By 1989, I had completed my M.Com.
(Master of Commerce) Degree. I used to
participate in many sports (especially
Cricket) and other cultural activities during
my college days.
Naturally, this was an influencing factor on
the youngster and other villagers of Hivre
Bazar.
In the year of 1989-90, the State Govt.
declared elections for Village Panchayats
Some of the visionary good people and
youngsters in Hivre Bazar invited me to
the Village meeting (Gramsabha) and
elected me as the Sarpanch (Chief of
Village Council) for five years.
My relatives wanted me to leave the
village, seek a job in the City and not to
get elected as the Sarpanch of
a Criminal Village.
But I was determined to accept the
challenge of changing the face of
the village and the fate of the villagers.
I therefore, accepted the opportunity
and was elected unopposed.
THE ROAD to DEVELOPMENT
FORMATION OF N.G.O.
IMPLEMENTATION OF "ADARSH
GAON YOJANA” (Ideal Village Scheme)
of the GOVERNMENT OF MAHARASHTRA
ACCEPTANCE & IMPLEMENTATION
OF “PANCHA SUTRI”
(Five GANDHIAN Principles
for rural development)
1.Shramadan (Voluntary Labour)
2.Ban on Tree cutting
3.Ban on Grazing of Cattle in
Forest or in Pasture land
4.Ban on Liquor
5.Family Planning
PANCHA SUTRI FOR
SUSTAINABILITY
(FIVE BASIC PRINCIPLES FOR
SELF DEVELOPMENT)
The following basic needs were identified
in the Gram Sabha on 26th January 1990.
• Providing Educational Facilities
• Providing Fodder for Cattle
• Providing Irrigation for Agriculture
•Providing Safe Quality Drinking Water
• Providing Health Facilities
• Improving Village Roads
• Providing Electricity for Farm Pumps
• Increasing Local Employment

The Villagers decided to give
priority to Education.
One Educated GIRL or BOY could
change the Home.
One Educated Home could change
the Village.
And One Educated Village could
change the management of its
Water Resources and Agriculture.
The Primary school was extended into
a High School from 5th Std. to 10 Std.
Eventually, coupled with adult
education program, the ratio of literacy
in the village grew from 30 % to 95 %
* 18 villagers donated their own land
for School Building & Playground.
This attracted the attention of
Government agencies towards
the leadership in the village
and convinced them that the
villagers are now progressing in
the right direction of further
development.
On 15th August 1994,
The Hivre Bazar village
Gramsabha (Village Meeting)
established the
“Yashwant Krishi Gram &
Watershed Development Trust”
for……….
….implementing watershed
development programmes in the
village.
The Village then started
implementing the programmes
and activities of Adarsh Gram
Yojana (Ideal Village Scheme).
