Volume : III, Issue : XII, January - 2014 AGCA White Paper on Corporate Governance in India', (2010) , Asian Corporate Governance Association (ACGA) Hong Kong Anita Awati, Salunkhe Chandrashekhar By : Laxmi Book Publication Abstract : Hivarebazar, a village located in the drought prone area of Ahamednagar district of
Maharashtra has achieved success through the planning of local environment. In the decade of 80's the
village faced severe problems. Farm lands were mortgaged to money lender in order to get food grains,
the village was deserted due to out-migration and the remaining few were forced to accept ordinary
labour jobs under the Employment Guarantee Scheme. By 1988, the environmental, economic and social
life of the village was in complete ruins with no scope for further decline.
The village followed an integrated model of development with water conservation as core under
the guidance of Popatrao Pawar, a newly elected Sarpanch and won the National Water award for its
efforts in water conservation. The performance of village is outstanding because of its use of water as
core of village development, village-level planning, government programmes for community and its
future plans to make the initiative for sustainable development.
The village has one of the highest GDPs in India and lessons from this small village can be now
model to the rest of the country to show that even the fastest developing economies are dependent on
nature's services – and only balancing its preservation with its use will ensure long term prosperity for all.
This paper examines the keys to the success of Hivarebazer with a view to identifying the
potential for replication across the region and country. Keywords : Article : Cite This Article : Anita Awati, Salunkhe Chandrashekhar(2014).
