1 Background The World Bank funded ICZM project was initiated in 2010 by the Ministry of Environment Forest and Climate Change (MoEFCC). The overall objective of the project is to support the Government of India and selected states in developing and implementing an improved strategic management approach for India’s coastal zones to ensure sustainable development and economic growth.

In order to achieve the overall objective, the project supports capacity building for implementation of ICZM at national level and provides assistance to three states in the form of pilot projects.

Further details on the ICZM Project in India and in Gujarat are provided in Annex 1.

2 Introduction As a part of the ICZM plan preparation process dialogues/consultations have been carried out at village and district level. Village level stakeholder dialogues or Participatory Rural Consultations (PRC) have been carried out in 11 villages selected from the 160 villages covered under the “Socio-Economic Upliftment of Coastal Communities along the Gulf of Kachchh” support under the ICZMP which were initiated in September 2010.

These consultations sought feedback from local coastal communities around the Gulf of Kachchh on issues influencing their livelihood. In the consultation process, issues identified during the preparation of the Coastal Profile for the Gulf of Kachchh have been discussed, while at the same time giving opportunity to bring forward additional issues.

3 Village selection The eleven villages were selected from the 160 villages that are already supported

under the ICZM Project. This ensures that a basic understanding of these villages is already available against which the PRC can be developed and assessed. The knowledge base for these villages include PRAs carried out by GEC in 2010-2011.

The selected villages are spread over the entire coastal areas of the Gulf of Kachchh. This is to ensure that the variable conditions (climatic, ecological, economic) influencing local communities along the coast are represented in the selection.

Villages with more or less average population were selected. Very small or very large (semi urban) villages were avoided. Villages were selected from all four costal districts situated on Gulf of Kachchh, with maximum taluka coverage.

The villages were selected to represent different types of livelihood dependency including fisheries, agriculture, animal husbandry and labourers.

The selected villages along with basic information like population, households, occupation is given in Table 1.

4 Methodology A list of villages was finalized based on the above defined criteria, where the

consultations were to be organized. A prior message was conveyed to the village community through a letter from GEC

(sample letter attached as Annex 2) requesting to provide a suitable time for organizing village level consultation. The letter stated the clear objective of the meeting.

The social mobilizers (people appointed by GEC for carrying out various activities under ICZMP) built a pre consultation environment in the villages along with information dissemination on specific objectives of the meeting.

The project team has adopted a participatory approach and used participatory tools during the meetings. A gender sensitive approach was adopted, where the project team interacted with both male and female of the village community. The suggestions from both the genders have equally been taken.

The consultations were organized at the common and easily approachable location to encourage good participation by all sections of the society. The time schedule was also managed to maintain the trust of the community.

All consultations were half day long, including small focus group discussions and site visits. It was ensured that all information was gathered at the end of the consultation as per the objectives.

A simple and short introduction was facilitated by the ICZM planning team and community and the leaders. It was also ensured that the community understood the purpose of the consultations.

Local language (Gujarati) was used in the communication. Comfortable environment was created to encourage active participation of all segments

of the society and allowed them to speak on the issues during the discussions. Focus group 1 discussions were held in village, and discussions were carried out

separately with men and women to prioritize their problems issues to be addressed in a gender sensitive manner.

The photography and videography was done using simple camera and mobile telephones.

1 Focus Group Discussions is defined as “a Group Situation in which the participants talk with each other under the guidance of a facilitator”. Each participant is stimulated by the comments of others and in turn stimulates them. When participants direct their question to the facilitator rather than each other, it is not a Focus Group Interview. It is not an individual interview in a group meeting.

Coastal Profile 18

6.1.3 Source of livelihood Livelihood Agriculture Households 70 households Agricultural labour 30 persons Quarry labour 100 persons Drivers 30 persons Government Servants & any such permanent service 7 persons

Agriculture, animal husbandry, labourers (at stone crushing units & agricultural), government service, and driving are the primary sources of income in the village. Seven stone crushing units are operational in and around the village area, out of which some may be illegal. It is mainly the youth of the village that are involved in stone crushing units either as labours or as drivers. Women expressed concern about health issues related to employment in quarries. However, in absence of appropriate livelihood options the community is bound to work in the quarries. Women have shown interest in livestock development through cattle rearing linked with dairy development. Specialized work on brass assembly was another area of interest shown by the female community of the village. Agricultural practices: The Agriculture is largely monsoon based. Check dams help in irrigation of about 100 acre agriculture land during the summer. The main agriculture crops are cotton, wheat and maize as informed by the villagers.

Ground water table: Ground water table has gone down from 50-60 feet to 80-100 feet in the last couple of years. Bore wells have to be dug up by 170 feet beyond which the quality of water is brackish.

6.1.4 Issues and community need

Villagers told that there is no sewerage system in the village. Therefore providing proper sewerage system (collection and treatment) has been identified as the need for the community.

Salinity intrusion has been identified as one of the main issues by the villagers. Major cause of salinity intrusion is the damage to the earthern dam at 3-4 places. The dam was constructed to prevent the sea water entering the landward area and to retain rain water. A site visit was made to check the condition of the earthern dam. Villagers have requested the construction of a pakka check dam to stop the salinity intrusion.

Considering higher education is an important pillar of development, the need of opening a Higher Secondary School in the village has come up from the community.

Linking employment generating opportunities with skill development, the demand of conducting vocational training has been identified as one of the future intervention areas in the village.

In addition to this three check dams partially support irrigation in the village. Other sites for check dam are available, which can be utilised for irrigation purpose.

Ground water table: The ground water table has gone down from 30 feet to 60 feet over the last 50 years. Bore wells must be be dug up to 150 feet to make water available for irrigation. Due to decreasing water table the quality of water has changed in last few years.

Health: The community complained about the increasing respiratory problems among people living in the village due to a coal unit located very close (around 5 km) to the village. Joint pains is another health problem identified among the local people; this is because of changes in the environment at the seashore. Women highlighted health problems usually seen during monsoon mainly in children such as diarrhoea, cough & cold and nausea. Child malnutrition among approximately 10% of children in the village.

Sanitation and cleanliness: Sanitation facilities in the village are satisfactory but there are problems with solid waste management. As per villagers daily one truck load of solid waste is dumped at the bank of the river in the nearby village. During monsoon all waste is washed directly into the sea. At religious occasions large quantities of solid waste are dumped into the sea.


Sewerage system is present in the village but some localities are not covered. Villagers have requested to cover entire village with sewerage system.

Due to lack of drainage system, villagers are facing water logging problem especially during monsoon. This was under the priority list of village women.

Villagers requested to provide better water recharge system. Villagers demanded check dams for irrigation with good water retention capacity to

cope with the water scarcity problem during summers. Increase in height of three existing check dams Villagers requested to provide higher education at least up to 12th standard. Wire fencing to protect crops from wild animals.

6.3 Village Rasulnagar Date: 02/07/2016 Time - 16.00 hours onward

6.3.1 Brief introduction Rasulnagar village is situated approximately 30 km from the district headquarter in Jamnagar and 1-2 km from the coast.

Total number of households in the village is 250, which is marginal increase compared to number of households (225) during the PRA conduted in 2010-11.

The village is Muslim dominated and livelihood of people depends on fishing activities.

Out of 250 households, 137 families are below the poverty line.


One primary school with an education upto 8th standard. The children of the village go to Bed village for higher education, which is approximately 8-10km away. Due to lack of transport facility parents are not interested in sending girls outside the village for higher education.

No primary health care facility. People have to go to other village (5km) to reach health facilities.

30-35 two wheelers, 1 car and four small transport vehicles owned by villagers 50 houses with toilet facility and 25 houses are constructing toilets. No sewerage

system in the village. Water supply situation is very poor with no piped water supply. Water supply from

government tankers. Three small grocery shops to fulfil daily needs of the villagers.

6.3.3 Sources of livelihood All household depend on fishing activities. No other livelihood option available. Villagers are insecure with respect to the sustainability of their livelihood.


Fish catches have reduced 50% (earlier fish catch was 25-50kg). The reason cited by the villagers is restrictions of industries for the areas of fishing and heavy ship traffic.

Fishing practices are old and villagers do not have access to modern equipment. The community is not informed about various government schemes. Lack of

information and knowledge is considered major obstacles in development of the village.

Poor market linkage due to weak accessibility. Fish products are sold at low price.

Figure 6-9: Location map of the village Rasulnagar

Coastal Profile 24

80% families are in debt impeding financing of other livelihoods Oil spill problem has not been considered as an issue by the community, as they have

not faced any such problem in last few years. Increase in the level of sea height has not observed by community.

Needs:

Modern fishing catch equipment’s are highly demanded by the community. Drinking water facility/ connectivity. Road connectivity with cement concrete roads. Awareness raising and sensitization programmes on environment protection, pollution

control and climate change. Extra rooms for the school, construction of community halls and support for individual

house construction under government schemes like Indira aavas, construction of sanitation units by Government.

Micro finance for livelihood promotional activities like purchasing modern fishing equipment’s and livestock development.

6.4 Village Kalavad Simani Date: 03/07/2016 Time - 10.00 hours onward

6.4.1 Brief introduction Kalavad Simani village is situated 23 km from taluka headquarters Khambhaliya and 90 km from district headquarter Jamnagar and 2 km from the seashore.

There are 150 households, which has increased by 46% from the PRA conducted in 2010-11, however the population has increased from 593 to 900, which is around 52%.

Castewise distribution of the households are 110 darbar, 20 Brahmin, 10 koli, and 1 dalit.


One primary school up to 5th standard. Children go to Goinj village for further education. 10 to 12 students study in 10th to 12th standard and 3 students have migrated from the village for completing their graduation. Girls are not getting education beyond 8th standard due to poor road connectivity and lack of transportation facility in the village.

No primary health care centre. People have to travel to other village 5km away to get the health facilities.

7-8 tractors and 125 two wheelers owned by villagers. Sanitation facilities are not satisfactory and only 8-10 households have toilet facility.

There is no sewerage system inside the village. Every house is connected with piped water supply. However, the village is not yet

connected with bulk water supply scheme due to lack of storage facility. Present water supply is through 60 feet open well, which is not sufficient for the supply of water for the entire village. There is a demand for further deepening of the open well by 20 feet to augment water quantity.

3-4 small grocery shops in the village to provide daily need products to the community.

6.4.3 Sources of livelihood The majority of households depend on agriculture as the livelihood option and few families work as industrial labourers. In good rainfall years the community does not face any difficulty to secure food. In years with scarcity of rainfall they have to supplement income through labour to support their livelihood. The labour work is offered by ESSAR industries. 80% households have domestic cattle to fulfil their personal milk requirements but animal husbandry and dairy has yet to develop into a primary source of income in the village. Only approximately 150-160 litres of milk are delivered to the dairy.

Figure 6-14: Location map of the village Kalavad Simani

Coastal Profile 26


Non availability of drinking water Drinking water supply and distribution door to door is of high priority. Limited toilet facility and no connectivity with sewage system. Toilet facility covering

100% households was requested by the women community. Salinity has increased in land as well as in water over the last 40-45 years. Bund and

desilting of 4 km long drainage channel to prevent salinity from 40 year old salt pan. 3-4 check dams need urgent repair as those were helping in recharge of considerable

agricultural land. Between Kalavad and Goinj villages there is a kachaa road crossed by five rainwater

drainage rivulets. Villagers requested for the construction of 5 - 6 causeways over these rivulets on this WBM road. They accorded high priority to this work and consider it likely to retain huge quantity of rainwater and benefit several acres of agriculture land and also sure to retain rain water to the extent of approximately 3 Square Km on the upper side of the road. Besides this will prevent high tide water going towards landward side. The causeway constructions will also make this road all season road and help them save extra travelling of 12 km to village Goinj in monsoon.

Repair of internal village roads at two to three places. As per people’s perception, an existing 40 year old salt pan of a private company

(Approximately 600-700 acres) has increased salinity in the adjoining area to a great extent.

Villagers apply old agricultural practices and request advanced tools and technologies from the government. Lack of awareness and education on various government schemes is a reason of less income from the agriculture. Value addition and market linkage are areas where the community needs support.

The women community is not educated to explore opportunities for employment generating activities. There is need for proper training and capacity building programmes along with exposure visits to more developed areas. Vocational and skill development training in specialized field is requested with handicraft and handloom (embroidery) as popular options for the local women. Facilitation/assistance for bank financing and loan procedures was requested by the community.

60 % houses have toilet facility with no sewerage system. There is no solid waste management at the village level.

Villagers have piped water supply but there is not sufficient water. Recently very limited water is supplied to the villagers by the water supply board.

6.5.3 Sources of livelihood Agriculture is the major source of lihelihodd for the villagers but some families are dependent on other source of livelihood. If the rainfall is good then villagers do not face any problem for food, but in case of bad monsoon, villagers have to work as labourers. 20-25 people work for Tata Company and 30-35 people work for Reliance industries as labourers, and 8-10 people are dependent on skilled self employment during the lean season. In the lean season some people have to collect wood from surrounding Prosopis growth and sell it to earn money.


Water supply is a major issue Lack of toliets and sewerage collection system is considered a major issue particularly

by the women Increase in salinity of land and water

6.6 Village Bodki Date: 05/07/2016 Time: 10.30 hours onward

6.6.1 Brief introduction Bodki village is situated approximately 40 km from the taluka (Maliya) headquarters and 35 km from Morbi; Navlakhi port is 8-10 km away from the village.

The village has a mixed caste structure with few Muslim families. Households are mainly Koli, Patel, Bharwad, Bavaji and Vanad. Only one Brahmin family is residing in the village.

There are total 180 households with 875 total population of the village. This is 55% of the households and 51% of the population found during the PRA in 2009-2011.

Caste wise household distribution is Koli 90, Patel 40, Muslim 35, Bharwad 4, Bramin 1, Bavaji 1 and Vanand 1. 68 families are below poverty line.


One primary school in the village, which is up to 7th standard. Children go to Kuntasi (3 km) for high school and higher secondary education. The students also go to Pipaliya and Morbi. 15 students are studying in collage. 12 girls are staying in Morbi hostel. One girl has now become a teacher.

Two small grocery shops available in the village. The majority of shopping is done in Pipaliya and Morbi.

No primary heath care centre. No cattle health centre. No government grain public distribution shop (Ration shop).

20 tractors and 150 two wheelers owned by villagers 35 houses have toilet facility connected with sock pit. Sewerage system is available in

the village for domestic waste. Villagers get piped water supply through WASMO project, however there is an internal

management issue of the water supply.

Figure 6-24: Location map of the village Bodki

Coastal Profile 31

6.6.3 Source of livelihood Livelihood Agriculture field (Households) 1400 acre 70 percent of household Agricultural labour (Households) 20 percent of households Labour work in Pipalya and Morbi ceramic (No.) 70-80 persons Animal husbandry as support income (Household) 20 percent of households

Agriculture is the major livelihood option of the villagers with 75% of families having agricultural land. The remaining 25% families are dependent on labourer work either in agriculture, the ceramic industry or at Navlakhi port. 70-80 people travel to nearby places like Pipaliya village and Morbi district for ceramic work and 5-6 people go to the port, where they work in coal related activities. People working in the ceramic industry get around Rs 200/day and get a job for 15 days in a month.

Villagers have 200 cattles and they sell surplus milk (approximately 200 litres) to a nearby government milk collection centre at Varsamedi village. Selling milk is not the primary source of income for the villagers. Women feel that they could have another source of income by attending vocational training programs and start micro enterprises.

Agricultural practices: The main monsoon crops are cotton, groundnut, Bajra and Guwar, if the monsoon is good. The community irrigates 200 bigha (80 acres) of land through check dams in the winter season to grow wheat, cumin and onion.

Ground water table: The ground water table is very shallow at the depth of 12-13 feet but the quality of water is brackish. The water cannot be used for irrigation purposes and the only source of water for irrigation is check dams. Due to brakish water there are only 2-3 open wells in the field.

Wild animals (200 - 250 Bhund and 100 - 150 blue bulls) impose problems for agriculture as they damage the standing crops. People are trying to protect their crops with wire fencing but this is not a long term solution.

There is one salt pan unit working for 40 years making the agriculture land salty.


The community has requested to construct more check dams and farm ponds for water conservation in the area to have a perennial source of irrigation. This will also decrease salinity in the land and water.

It was informed that deepening of village pond has already been sanctioned. To protect it from siltation, repair of the earthern bund should be started.

Women have no other source of income other than as agriculture labourand vocational training on embroidery and silver work is requested. There is interest in home based income generating activities.

Minor canal for Irrigation: Fulka River is 30km from the village, where there is a canal at 500 meters from the river. If the water is released in the canal then 15,000 ha of land can be irrigated benefiting 15 villages. This will also improve the ground water table.

Community has requested a cyclone centre inside or around the village.

Coastal Profile 32

To improve the connectivity of Bodki and Khirsara village 6 km of surfaced road is required.

Wire fencing to protect crops from wild animals. Provide 10 to 12 houses under Indira Aawas scheme in Varsamedi village. There is no

electricity available to Jatt families.

6.7 Village Kathada Date: 11/07/2016

Time: 10.00 hours onward

6.7.1 Brief introduction Kathada village is situated approximately 7 km from the taluka headquarters at Mandvi, 67 km from the district headquarter at Bhuj and approximately 3 km from the coast.

There is a 10% increase from 634 households to 700 households in the village since the PRA conducted in 2010-11, with population increasing by 5% from 3804 people to 4000 people. Caste wise distribution of the households is 250 Gadhavi, 150 Muslim, 100 Dalit and around 200 belonging to other caste.


One primary school up to 8th standard. For further education students have to go Mandvi (7km) and approximately 85 students travel daily.

One small grocery shop. The majority of shopping is done from Mandvi. No primary health care centre. No cattle health centre. A mobile health unit comes

once a week. The service provided by this unit is satisfactory as stated by the community.

35 tractors and around 400 bikes owned by villagers 60% of houses have toilet facilities connected with the sock pit. The Gram Panchayat

is committed to provide toilet facility to 100% households. They have fixed their own targets for construction of these toilets within next two to three months. The village does not have sewerage system and RCC road.

Water supply is through piped network to each household. The supply is sufficient but quality is not satisfactory because the source of water is tube well.

6.7.3 Source of livelihood Livelihood Agriculture field (Households) 60 percent of households Animal husbandry and Agricultural labour (Households)* 20 percent of households Fisheries 10-12 percent of households Job/service 20 percent of households

Note: 10% overlap in Fisheries, Service and Agriculture

Livelihood options of the villagers are agriculture, fisheries and labourer work. The community informed that Gadhavi community women are good in handicraft but they are not practicing it for income generation. Muslim women have sewing skills but they are also not using it as livelihood option. Women requested training and guidance to start small enterprise through sewing and handicraft work. They have also requested to

Figure 6-29: Map showing the location of Kathada village

Coastal Profile 34

facilitate backward and forward /marketing support in the handicraft and handloom value chain. It was told that 62 Muslims households are dependent on fishing activity. All are “Pagadia” fisherman, i.e. they do not have large boats to go deep in the sea for fishing activity. Remaining households are partially dependent on labour during season of no fishing. All Dalit families are dependent on agriculture and other casual/ miscellaneous labour.

Agricultural practices: Agriculture is the primary source of income, where major monsoon crops are cotton, groundnut, Millet and Pulses. Wheat is the major crop of winter season with irrigation from tube wells.

Ground water table: The ground water table has gone down and tube wells are as deep as 300 feet, where the quality of water is brackish and cannot be used for irrigation.

6.7.4 Issues and community need Ecological issue: There is an adverse effect of industrial growth near the village. Skin diseases have increased considerably in the last few years. The impact of industrial pollution can also be noticed on aquatic life, as a few fish species have completely vanished, and the number of fish has also decreased significantly. The quality of sea water has deteriorated, and polluted water can visibly be seen when water flows from Mandvi during the intermediate period of high tide and low tide.

Construction of industrial structures, roads, jetties, and dredging facilities are more near Nana Layja, Navinal, Modhava, Tragadi and Gundiyari village coasts as compare to Kathada village. Thus people are somehow less affected with pollution. Approximately 2-3 km of costal area near Kathada is suitable for mangroves plantation to protect the coast line, improve biodiversity of the coastal region and support fishing activity.

Improve water quality is a top priority. Water available in tube well is not potable and of no use for irrigation.

The community has requested to build check dams and provide other water conservation techniques and tools. This will help in recharge of ground water, store surface water for the purpose of irrigation during dry season. It will also help in reducing salinity in the soil and water.

A sewerage system in the village is the second most important priority and equally pushed by men and women.

Women request training and guidance to start enterprise through sewing & handicraft work. They also requested to facilitate bank financing, availability of raw material, designing and market support including all backward and forward linkages in the supply chain. Trainings is required on skills to run the business to compete with the prevailing market.

A primary health centre has come up as an important need. Enhance school up to 10th standard. Mangrove plantations. Awareness generation and information dissemination on various government schemes

to be implemented in the village development.

6.8 Village Jangi Date: 11/07/2016 Time: 16.00 hours onward

6.8.1 Brief introduction Jangi village is situated approximately 11 km from Samakhiyali (nearest market place), 30 km from the taluka headquarters in Bhachau, 100 km from district headquarters in Bhuj and 6-7 km from the coast.

The population of the village has almost doubled from 4713 to 9000 people since the PRA conducted in year 2010-11.

People belong to varied castes like Aair, Brahmin, Muslim, Koli and Dalit.

Agriculture is the main source of income for the villagers. People are also engaged in salt pans as labourers and a few people do fishing.


One primary school upto 8th standard with 900 students running two shifts and one high school upto 10th standard with 150 students. After 10th standard students have to travel to Vandhiya and Samkhiyali for higher education, which is approximately 12-14km away.

There are a few grocery shops in the village to cater to the needs of the villagers. Another option for the people is to travel to Samakhiyali for shopping which is 11 km from the village.

One primary health care centre in the village with satisfactory services. People from nearby villages also come to Jangi for consultation.

Animal husbandry is a supplementary source of livelihood, which is affected due to neglegance of cattle and other domestic animals. This is beause a post of veterinary doctor has been vacant for a long time.

140 tractors and 1600-1800 bikes are owned by villagers. Only 50% of household have toilet facility which are connected with soak pits. There is

no sewerage system Villagers are happy with the water supply system in the village. There is a piped water

supply network in the village and water is supplied in sufficient quantity through Narmada canal.

6.8.3 Source of livelihood: Livelihood Agriculture field (Households) 500-600 households Fishing Households 35-40 households Salt pan labour Households 250 households Miscellaneous labour Households 200 households Job/service No. 40-50 persons

The primary source of livelihood is rain fed agriculture. After monsoon season a large part of the population works as salt pan labour.

Agricultural practices: Agriculture is the major source of income for the villagers, which is monsoon based agriculture. During the lean season, there are no agriculral activies due to brackish ground water and due to lack of enough water retaining structures.

Animal Husbandry practices: There are approximately 2,000 cows and 2,000 buffalos in the village but thesenumbers are gradually decreasing due to increased demand for space and grazing ground. There is a milk collection centre but the community is yet to be motivated towards dairy development business.

Ecological issue: Villagers face pollution problem from the industries near the village. During the winter there is a more pronounced problem of bad odour.

Villagers also highlighted that excessive salt pan activity, bunds construction for salt production and rejects/ waste disposal near shore, are affecting the seashore to a great extent. The seashore area is filled with these pollutants and siltation is taking place resulting in shore line changes.


Water supply storage is one of the issues identified by the villagers. Construction of check dams and other water conservation structures to recharge of

ground water and conservation of surface water. Provision of underground sewerage system requested by women community. . Women raised issue of additional income sources requesting specialized training and

financing and marketing support. An animal health care centre at village level with sufficient staff. More mangrove plantations to improve bio-diversity of the region. Forest department to provide options to protect their crops from the wild animals like

blue bull and wild boar. Crematoria demanded by the community. There are vacant posts in high school, which is affecting the education of the children.

Request for early recruitment of teaching staff in the school. Drinking water and electricity/ solar light facility required for 30 – 35 houses settled at

the seashore.

Coastal Profile 40

Livelihood options for the villagers are agriculture, animal husbandry, labourers in industries, agriculture, driving and fishing. Some women are engaged in craft activity in an unorganized way. They showed interest in cattle rearing and other additional income sources.

Irrigation facility: 5,000 acres of land are under agricultural use of which 2,500 acres are irrigated from bore wells. Farmers have grown horticulture crops like Dates, Chiku and Coconut trees.

Ground water table: The ground water table has gone down in the last couple of years. Earlier the tubewells were 100-120 feet but now theu have gone down to 300 feet or more. After 300 feets the water become brackish and cannot be used for any purpose.

6.9.4 Issues and community needs

Sanlinity has increased in the water and in the soil. A canal of 2-3 km has been dug for the water use in power plant, which casuses the problem to farmers.

Degradation of mangroves have negative impact on fish catch. Huge power plant on seashore has environment side effects in the form of pollution.

Due to restrictions imposed by the power plant the distance has increased for fishing and its effect are shown on quantity of fish catch.

Wild animals like wild bore and neelgai damage the crops. Ill health effect such as breathing problem and cancer can be seen due to fly ash from

the power plant. Crops are also damaged due to fly ash. Government has not compensated pasture land after allotment to Adani Company.

Agricultural practices: The majority of the population is dependent on monsoon based agriculture, as 50% (5,000 hectar) land is under agricultural use. Out of this 20% agriculture land is under irrigation through check dam. Main crops are Castor and cotton during the monsoon season.

Animal husbandry practices: There are nearly 4,000 cows and buffalos in the village but this number is decreasing due to increasing demand of space and grazing land. Apart from cows and buffalos there are 1,000 goats and sheep in the village. There are 2-3 Milk collection centres in the village collecting approximately 2,000 litres of milk every day.


Four primary schools and one high school up to 10th standard in the village. After 10th standard children either go to Adipur (27 km) or Gandhidham (33 km) for higher

education. Apart from government schools there is one private high school in the village.

There are grocery shops in the village catering for the daily needs of the villagers. One primary health care centre A veterinary hospital is functional in th evillage 35 tractors, 20-25 cars and around 500 bikes owned by villagers 80-90% households have toilet facility. Toilets are connected with soak pits as there is

no sewerage system. There is no waste water disposal system. Water facility is available through bore wells. Gram Panchayat has a RO filter plant

and Panchayat charge Rs 5 per 20 litres of treated water by RO to the villagers.


Increase in salinity over a period of time due to over extraction of the ground water. Over extraction of ground water has resulted in decrease in ground water table from

20 feet’s to 50 feet’s over the last decade with TDS going as high as 1700. Reason for over extraction cited by the villagers is presence of industries like Nilkanth, OPG power near the village extracting more water than the permissible limit.

Due to high TDS and lack of water for irrigation, there is decrease in land under agricultural. People are leaving their agricultural land.

Pollution is increasing due to industries located near the village. OPG power plant is coal based and emits fly ash which is affecting the agriculture and health of the people. Villagers told that diseases like heart attack and cancer have increased over the last few years. There is another Philips Carbon industry near the village which emits very bad odour and it is suffocating during winter season because of that.

The salt industry in the area is encroaching on the good agricultural land by constructing high bunds (5-6 ft high). This is also contributing to the salinity problem in and around the village.

Due to pollution from the industries and decrease in mangrove cover over a period of time the survival ratio of juvenile fish has reduced. Villagers claim that the taste of the fish has changed over a period of time.

Fishermen has to travel deep into the sea to get the fish catch and which was not the case ealier. Pagdiya fishermen were getting 40-50 kg of fish earlier, which has reduced to 5-10 kg. Fishermen with boats earlier got 2 to 2.5 ton of fish, which is now reduced to 300-400 kg.

Another reason for the less fish catch is due to restrictions by industries in certain areas and disposal of hot water by industries into the sea. Apart from that the pollution caused by vessel traffic is also a contributing factor.

Kukadsar Village:

Kukadsar village is 4km away from Bhadreshwar and panchayat leader Palabhai Pababaiwas was present in the consultation. A major problem of the Kukadsar village is that of salinity ingress. They were also of the opinion that construction of check dams along the rivers would help reduce the salinity. Other demands of the villagers were, drinking water through tankers, drainage system, cattle rearing centre and milk collection centres for the village.

6.11 Village Tuna Date: 28/07/2016 Time: 16.00 hours onward

6.11.1 Brief introduction Tuna village is situated approximately 20 km from the headquarters in Anjar taluka and 65 km from the district headquarters in Bhuj. The village is 1-1.5 km from sea shore called Godi Bunder.

Total population of the village has decreased from 5114 to 4000 people with an increase in number of households from 1007 to 2000 households, when compared to the PRA conducted during 2010-11.

Composition of the village by caste is Muslim (700), Ahir (250), Meghval dalit (150), Koli (80), Thakkar (25) and around 35 households with different caste. There are some houses which are vacated also.

6.11.2 Sources of livelihood The main occupation of the villagers in Tuna is working as labourers in Gandhidham city and industrial area. 30 households owns taxis which are used for commercial travelling from Tuna to Adipur and Gandhidham.

There are 350 cows and approximately 500 buffalos in the village. Milk collected from the cows and buffalos is sold to other people of the town.

Out of the total land available (1000 acres) in Tuna, only 35% is cultivable, whereas the remaining land has become baren. The quality of land/soil is not suitable for the recharge of ground water due to the high salinity in the soil.


One primary and one high school up to 10th Standard in the village. For further education students have to travel to Adipur (10km) and Gandhidham (13km) from the village.

One primary health care sub centre 60 tractors, 30-40 cars, 30-40 jeeps and around 1500 bikes owned by villagers 80-90% households have toilet facility. Toilets are connected with soak pits as there is

partial sewerage system in some areas of the village. There is no waste water disposal system.

Caste Livelihood Muslim Approximately 100 people are doing service and rest of the households are doing labour work.

They are not doing fishing work. Ahir They are doing agriculture and labour work and some people are doing service. Koli Mostly they are working in the saltpan industries and agriculture field. Meghval They are doing labour work.

Figure 6-45: Map showing the location of village Tuna

Coastal Profile 45

Drinking water is supplied every alternate day to the villagers, which is the major issue as per the villagers.


There is a reduction in the agricultural land in the village due to high salinity. Salt farmers have encroached on the agricultural land, which forced some farmers to sell their land.

Due to extraction of ground water by industries and for agricultural use, the ground water table has gone down. Ground water table which was at 60 feet have gown down to 1000 feet over the last two decades. The quality of water has deteriorated with TDS increasing from 500 to 1800.

Pollution is increasing due to proximity of the Kandla Adani Port (3km) and the Renuka sugar factory (2km). People expressed that pollution norms are not adhered to by the industries and there is no strict monitoring by the competent authorities.

7 Findings of the village stakeholder consultations The major findings of the village consultations are:

Ground water is extracted for agriculture and industrial purpose. Due to over extraction of the ground water, the water table has gone down.

Effect of the excess ground water extraction has resulted in sea water intrusion into the ground water table causing salinization. Due to increase in the salinity water is unsuitable for irrigation and for drinking purpose.

Land salinization makes it difficult to do agricultural activities along the Gulf of Kachchh, which is a major livelihood for the villagers.

Crop damage by wild animals (Nilgai and Wild Boar) is a major issue identified during the village level consultation.

Due to reduction in agricultural activities, people are looking for additional livelihood options for their economic growth.

Lack of veterinary hospital facilities. Lack of secondary school and college educational facilities is adding to the problem of

livelihood options, as people are not educated enough to opt for different livelihood option.

Lack of basic infrastructure like sewerage facilities i.e. toilets/latrines, sewage collection and treatment is a major issue in all the villages along the Gulf of Kachchh.

Amount of drinking water supplied is not sufficient to meet the daily needs of the people.

Pollution from the industries is a major problem along the Gulf of Kachchh. Due to pollution from untreated sewage and industries, the quality of mangroves has

deteriorated at some places over a period of time. This has resulted in reduced survival ratio of juvenile fishes. There is also reduction in the fish catch. Villagers also claim that the taste of the fish has changed over a period of time.

Due to industrial development and loss of agricultural land along the Gulf of Kachchh, there is change in the land use pattern.

Lack of awareness about various government beneficiary schemes, makes it difficult for the villages to avail the benefits.

Need for capacity building and training for coastal women population for livelihood improvement.

Public health facilities are in poor condition due to lack of doctors, para medical staff and proper equipments.

The issues identified during the village stakeholder consultations were compared to the issues identified in the Coastal Profile Vol I and it shows that the main issues identified in the ICZM plan process are in alignment with the perception among stakeholders at village levels. The issues identified during consultations are compiled and tabulated in Table 3.

Annex 1: Brief of the ICZM Project The ICZM Project

The World Bank funded ICZM project was initiated in 2010 by the Ministry of Environment Forest and Climate Change. The overall objective of the project is to support the Government of India and selected states in developing and implementing an improved strategic management approach for India’s coastal zones to ensure sustainable development and economic growth.

In order to achieve the overall objective, the project supports capacity building for implementation of ICZM at national level and support to three states in the form of pilot projects.

The National Component

The national level ICZM capacity enhancement component of the project is engaged in;

Mapping, delineation and demarcation of the hazard lines, and delineation of coastal sediment cells along the entire mainland coast of India;

Mapping, delineation and demarcation, of the ecologically sensitive areas (ESAs), along the entire mainland coast of India;

Capacity building of the MoEFCC as the secretariat for the National Coastal Zone Management Authority (NCZMA), and nation-wide training program for integrated coastal zone management; and

Setting up and operationalization of the new National Centre for Sustainable Coastal Zone Management.

The other three components of the project focus on state wise piloting of ICZMP. The MoEFCC has identified Gujarat on the west coast and Odisha and West Bengal on the east coast for pilot implementation of project activities including the preparation of ICZM plans.

The Gujarat State Component

The Gujarat pilot project supports capacity enhancement of the state level agencies and institutions, priority investments in the coastal areas and the formulation and adoption of an ICZM Plan for the Gulf of Kachchh to address major management issues.

Capacity enhancement

Special attention is paid on building capacity related to ICZM at the following key institutions at state level:

Department of Environment and Forest (Secretariat for the State Coastal Zone Management Authority)

Gujarat State Pollution Control Board (for monitoring and enforcing pollution control in the coastal areas)

Gujarat Environment and Ecology Research Foundation (for developing relevant research capacity in coastal ecology, and for developing suitable techniques for transplantation and regeneration of coral reefs)

Coastal Profile 51

Bhaskaracharya Institute of Space Applications and Geo-Informatics (BISAG) for preparing GIS-enabled mapping and decision support tools for the coastal areas.

Priority investments

With the view of ensuring long term environmental sustainability investment under this project is made in the following priority areas:

Conservation and protection of coastal resources; mangrove plantation, coral reef regeneration, establishment of shelter belt and establishment of marine aquarium with public-private partnership

Environment and pollution management; commencement of environmental sanitation project in Jamnagar

Livelihood security of coastal communities; livelihood improvement in non-forest villages and eco-tourism development

Gulf of Kachchh ICZM Plan

The Gulf of Kachchh ICZM Plan is being developed in the following main phases:

Information acquisition

Information has been compiled from secondary sources to support the ICZM planning. Liaison has been made with institutions and organizations engaged in collection and management of information relevant to the situation in the Gulf of Kachchh.

The project makes extensive use of Geographic Information System and many themes are included in maps developed to support the ICZM planning. Key socio-economic, land use and environment indicators have been collected.

Updating baseline information while examining information management

Efforts have been given on acquiring the most recent available information and on updating the baseline on the situation in and around the Gulf of Kachchh. Information sources are many, sometimes overlapping and sometimes not available or not up-to-date. The information overviews maintained under the project offer a good baseline for further examining how well and efficient information is management to satisfy decision making requirements.

Preparing structured coastal profiles identifying management issues

The baseline situation in and around the Gulf of Kachchh is described in the form of a Coastal Profile on one side covering sector and cross-sector themes and on the other exposing local issues through a detailed geographic overview by districts and talukas bordering the Gulf of Kachchh. The baseline description and analyses has served to identify issues to consider in ICZM planning.

An important part of the profile is the compilation of baseline maps and tables with demographic, socio-economic, land-use and environmental indicator values.

Develop an ICZM Plan as a portfolio of actions addressing identified issues

A vision for Gulf of Kachchh will be pursued in an ICZM plan pursuing development objectives through actions addressing prioritized issues identified in the coastal profile.

Coastal Profile 52

The ICZM Plan for the Gulf of Kachchh is being developed in a participatory process and is based on a thorough appreciation of the roles, mandates and responsibilities vested in existing institutions and organizations:

Participatory approach

A fundamental requirement for developing and successfully implementing an ICZM Plan is participation from key stakeholders in the planning process. Such participation is important to mobilize knowledge and expertise in the planning while at the same time building ownership and commitment to the outcome of the planning.

The participation in the ICZM planning for the Gulf of Kachchh is pursued in particular though:

Field visits including discussions with local stakeholders. Two such field efforts are included, one at the start of the project to get an initial appreciation of local challenges and one during the building of coastal profiles to ensure integration of local perceptions in the issue identification.

Structured stakeholder meetings to consider and validate milestones. Three such meetings are included: - One during data and information acquisition to solicit coordination among and seek

guidance from key data and information providers at state and national level. The high level meeting also involved participation from other ICZM demonstration projects and from national institutions.

- One to consider and validate the baseline description of the situation in and around the Gulf of Kachchh and to discuss and initiate prioritization of identified issues. The stakeholders during this meeting will also establish a vision for the Gulf and development objectives and principles required to pursue the vision. Importantly a schedule for the ICZM plan development will be considered and contributions in issues prioritization will be agreed upon.

- One to consider and validate the ICZM Plan for the Gulf of Kachchh. The last two stakeholder meetings will include local level representatives.

Alignment to existing institutional framework

Emphasis has been given to presenting an overview of the existing arrangements to manage development in the Gulf of Kachchh. A separate chapter in the Coastal Profile provides a description of the institutional, legal, policy and planning arrangements in place today. Additional detail is given in sub-sections to other chapters in the coastal profile specifically discussing arrangements related to sector and cross-sector management.

The ICZM plan for the Gulf of Kachchh shall be aligned to the existing institutional framework and action plans will be designed for implementation coordinated through these institutions.

Coastal Profile for the Gulf of Kachchh

The coastal profile is being prepared in three volumes:

Volume I: Coastal Themes, presenting the situation in the coastal zone thematically, i.e. from the perspective of various sectors and other gulf wide themes.

Coastal Profile 53

Volume II: Coastal Districts and Talukas, offering an overview of the situation in the coastal districts and talukas bordering the Gulf of Kachchh localizing and adding detail to the information in Volume I.

Volume III: Maps and Tables, presenting maps in A3 format and offering tabulated information, collected from documents consulted or generated from the GIS.
