In:
Economic and Political WeeklySummary: Based on fieldwork around three lift-irrigation schemes in Sadguru's project area and their parallel institutional management structure, the lift-irrigation co-operative, this paper examines the role of women on the executive committees of the co-operatives. It tries to assess the extent to which Sadguru's efforts in policy advocacy (enabling women's representation on executive committees) and gender sensitisation (training on gender relations in development for all staff and community workers) have enhanced women's participation in decision-making on the management of community irrigation systems. In addition, the paper examines how agrarian transformation has changed, albeit in limited ways, gender roles and responsibilities in a tribal society, namely, the bhils of Panchmahals district, Gujarat. - Reproduced
