Climate change has increased the
flooding in recent years. Shidhulai Swanirvar Sangstha as a
local organization has proved that it is possible to deal with
this climate change, to tackle pollution, and at the same time,
to lift people out of poverty. The project has proved its
usefulness in the continuation of education and survival during
the flooding. |

Shidhulai Swanirvar
Sangstha works with local farmers in developing integrated
floating farming methods to grow vegetables and raise fish and
ducks on river and ponds, to help farmers carry on where no land
to farm on. It has helped hundreds of landless farmers to secure
their income, food and employment throughout the year.
The organization has created land access for thousands of
landless farmers and provided them with agriculture inputs, so
that they can grow flood resistant sugarcane varieties. These
are improved sugarcane varieties and can stay under floodwater
for few months. These varieties have the high sucrose content
and helpful to the people during floods, particularly when the
pure drinking water is not available.

Shidhulai has
introduced floating rainwater harvesting center to collect safe
drinking water in the flood-prone regions. During the monsoon
season the center collects rainwater using water collector and
stores water in the onboard storage tanks, and then supplies the
safe drinking water to the floating schools.
During the flooding, Shidhulai provides emergency relief to the
affected areas. |
