| Summary, etc | The role of village communities in the management of local resources is not new to India. But, there is a fall in the number of community managed resources, particularly water over the time due to factors like state intervention, developmental activities, reforms, increasing population size, encroachment, etc. Inspite of many such odds we can trace instances of community strength in continuing the indigenous practices in resource management. ‘Damasha’ is a unique experiment in participatory approach to water management that exists in Karnataka, assumed to be first of its kind and probably the only such model in India addressing the water scarcity for agriculture purposes. Neither the village panchayat nor the government functionaries were involved in its operation. The origin of Damasha is unknown or not documented. Being practiced since long time in two small villages of Bodampally and Channarayanhalli in drought-hit Chinatamani taluk of Chikkaballapur district and some parts of Kolar district, it has not received due attention from the administrators, policy makers and researchers. The main objective of this paper is to explore and demonstrate the case of water sharing practiced in times of drought and, the methods employed in sustaining the cooperation of villagers for several years and its current status in the backdrop of the intervention of late by gram panchayat. The study followed a case study approach and gathered information through FGDs with stakeholders carried out in each of the two villages with a follow- up thereafter. http://www.iipabiharbranch.org/upload/BJPA%20Vol%20XXI%20No.%202%20Jul-Dec%202024.pdf |
