EAC Manipur's impact: Uplifting Tribal Lives in Manipur: The ITDP Initiative
Manipur’s Integrated Tribal Development Project (ITDP) targets 200 families, aiming to elevate their lives through the “WADI” method – a holistic approach to Natural Resource Management (NRM). Launched in February 2021 in 10 villages of Pherzawl District’s Vangai TD Block, the project receives support from NABARD’s Tribal Development Fund. A monitoring visit with NABARD’s DDM occurred in November 2023.
The WADI approach, promoting sustainable NRM, is expected to improve livelihoods through income generation activities, sustainable land management, and potentially, infrastructure development. By empowering communities and fostering responsible resource use, the ITDP strives to create a lasting positive impact for Manipur’s tribal families.
