The proposed study strives to provide an overall picture for establishing a relationship of indigenous rainwater harvesting technology and its impact in poverty alleviation. The topographic form and the soil characteristics of Cholistan is the best catchment area for rainwater harvesting. Different profiles point out that the area is very poorly drained, capable of generating maximum runoff after absorbing minimum water. Water intake characteristics of fine textured soils show that infiltration rate is low to very low. Findings show that there is direct relationship between water availability and poverty reduction. Study also sheds light on both strengths and limitations of the indigenous technology on reducing rural poverty and recommends using this technology along with modern water harvesting techniques.

This paper focuses on the spillover effect of the ecological poverty reduction between 30 provinces in China, applying Durbin Model and spatial correlation analysis to find out the interaction between different areas about the ecological indicators on poverty reduction. The result shows that there a high correlation relationship of poverty rate on 30 provinces in China, especially the indicators of Factory Station, Use of Chemical Fertilizers and the proportion of all Rural Population of one region has significant effects on poverty alleviation in surrounding areas, which indicates that for ecological environment view, poverty alleviation in one regions is not only influenced by its own ecological indicators, but also by which in its nearby areas, indicating the ecological poverty alleviation has a spillover effect in China.

Harvesting Techniques

Water harvesting techniques increase the amount of rainfall per unit area, directing the rainwater to the crop area. The rain water is stored in the soil profile with mulch and similar applications and helps the plant to benefit during the arid periods. Water harvesting techniques can be supported with mulching and fertilizing practices in order to crop yield increase. This study was carried out on 20 years old vineyard in farmers' garden in 2015 - 2016, produced on dry conditions, with economical prescription for Kilis province. Four different doses of leonardite fertilizer were applied in combination with soil bund rainwater harvesting in the experiment. The highest soil moisture was obtained from 370 mm to 7 kg/vineyard leonardite application. The maximum plant water consumption was determined to be 389.5 mm on average from the application of 7 kg/vineyard fertilizer. The minimum plant water consumption was obtained from the control with 310.7 mm. In terms of yield, there was no difference between 5 and 7 kg/vineyard leonardite fertilizer.

Indonesian authority put the fiscal decentralization as one of the policies established to delegate the authority of the central authority to each region to explore sources of income, to benefit the merit in receiving allocations from the higher level of authority, and to organize routine and investment spending. Poverty alleviation is an important agenda for a country to realize the welfare of its people so that poverty alleviation becomes an abroad and massive issue in implementing Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This study aims to see how big the influence of fiscal decentralization is, in terms of authority spending, in the form the allocation funding consisting of the General Allocation Funding (DAU), the Special Allocation Funding (DAK) and the Village Funding (DD) on the Poverty Rate in 34 provinces in Indonesia. This paper used a dynamic panel data analysis through the approach Generalized Method of Moment (GMM). The results of this study concluded that the DAU, DAK, and Village Funding variables becoming significantly influencing the rural poverty reduction in Indonesia.

Life On Earth

The main source of water, is rain for all life on earth. Rainwater harvesting is the best way to collect rainwater and utilize it effectively. Rainwater harvesting is used as a best method to collect and store water for future needs in water scarcity areas where water is not available throughout the year. This practice is becoming popular over the last few years as many people can no longer rely on the availability of ground water to satisfy their needs. North Eastern States in India experiences heavy rainfall in the country compared to other parts. Hence implementation of Rainwater Harvesting scheme in those regions will be a better choice to store water. A Case study on rainwater harvesting in sloped roof houses available in northeast India is done in this paper. Water scarcity problems can be minimised if rain water harvesting techniques are implemented in all households.

This paper examines the progress of Indias rural development programmes and reviews the countrys rural development programmes. Over the years, Indias rural development has undergone several changes in terms of emphasis, approaches, strategies, and programmes. As a result, it has acquired a new dimension and provided new opportunities. Indias rural economy is a vital component of the countrys overall economy. Poverty eradication remains a significant obstacle to planned economic development. Its difficult to make broad policy recommendations because different states experiences with economic growth and poverty reduction have been so varied. Rural development programmes (RDP) have significant implications for India in terms of poverty alleviation.

The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the effectiveness of strategies implemented by Non-governmental organisation (NGOs) for poverty alleviation in Zimbabwe with specific reference to Zimbabwe’s Binga Rural District. The qulitative research methodology was employed in the article. Data were collected using questionnaires and interviews. Findings indicated that NGOs do not adequately fulfil the needs of the poor due to ineffective strategies that they implement. There is insufficient understanding of the livelihoods of the poor in Binga, hence the need for participatory development approaches. Deepening and widening poverty in the rural areas that are currently served by NGOs is an indicator that their poverty alleviation strategies are inadequate and ineffective to deal with poverty in these rural areas. The paper recommends a policy shift by both NGOs and the government to improve the poverty reduction strategies used by NGOs.

Even after nearly seven decades of Independence, poverty alleviation remains a sought after goal in the political and academic agenda. Efforts at reducing poverty especially the rural poverty have broadly been either disguised in the application of economic planning or have taken the route of poverty alleviation schemes. The successes and misses of these schemes are significant in understanding the next step to poverty reduction. This paper discusses all the centrally sponsored poverty alleviation programmes for the rural India in the decade of 1970s and beyond. Also the evaluation studies for each of these schemes conducted by the government bodies or at their behest have been summarized. The study feeds on secondary data sources and qualitatively puts forward value judgements in context of aiding the compilation of the said schemes.

This article explores the relations between a foreign aid donor and local actors in the context of the dissemination of development discourses and practices in an authoritarian context. It addresses the question “To what extent may the local dynamics alter the original goals of a donor and lead to unintended consequences?” Based on archival research, interviews, and secondary literature, this case study examines the Yunnan Uplands Management Project (YUM) in 1990–95, the Ford Foundation's first grant program on rural poverty alleviation in China. While the Foundation did not attain its main goal of making YUM a national model for poverty alleviation, the local actors were able to use YUM to develop individual capacities and to build roles for themselves as development actors in the form of associations and nongovernmental organizations, resulting in further support from the Foundation. The study contributes to our understanding of donor-local actor dynamics by highlighting the gaps between the original goals of a donor and the perspectives and motivations of local actors. The study suggests that local dynamics may influence the goals of donors and the ways they seek to disseminate development discourses and practices to local actors, despite the common conception of donors as hegemonic or culturally imperialistic.
