Traditional Water Harvesting Structure: Community behind 'Community'

Abstract

"The work of Tarun Bharat Sangh in Rajasthan has received much attention. There is an urgent need though to question development approaches that go overboard in extolling the virtues of greenery without tracing the hands that own the land and harvest the fruits of public money. This paper takes a critical look at the community institutions and relates it to the politics of state-civil society interactions."
