	Seeds of tried and tested drought-resilient crop varieties disseminated.
Farm trials of drought-resilient crop varieties (that are not tried and tested) undertaken.
Cereal banks constructed and managed.
Fodder/feed banks constructed and managed.
Fertilizer/pesticide shops constructed and managed.
Wells and drinking water supplies for both human and livestock use constructed.
Area under irrigation at a village level expanded.
Soils in degraded agricultural landscapes stabilized by using soil and water conservation measures (CES/DRS), including banquettes.
Soils in pastoral landscapes stabilized using soil and water conservation measures (CES/DRS), including banquettes, planting trees and sowing seeds of drought-resilient fodder species.
Dunes around micro-basins stabilized.
Gabions and weirs constructed where loss of river banks to floods is threatening village infrastructure and agricultural land.	2,188,263	19	9,590,000	81	11,778,263
