6 Description of the innovation We under take this innovation firstly for social peace and justice that is damaged due to class and cast in the society and secondly saving the endangered traditional Ahar-Pyne system that is 5000 years old culture and irrigation system of south Bihar. Most of the Ahar-Pyne systems were degraded due to the lack of absence of community support and good leadership in the concern villages. For the solution of above problem we have organized foot march from Mahabodhhi Temple Bodh-Gaya to affected villages of Gaya district in this period we have receive a resolution to pyne renovation for economical and social prosperity. Mostly villagers of Gaya district were affected by lack of safe drinking water and food security due to lack of proper water management, flood and drought. Food security problem could be checked only by the improving the cheap mechanism of water harvesting and supply though which the flood and drought both should be controlled. The renovation Mandai-Bihta pyne (channel) was one of the parts our initiatives, this was approx. 14 km channel that supply water from the Falgu river to the villages. Duration of this renovation was March 2010 to Dec 2011.

7 aspects of innovation 1. Rain water as well as river water is channelized by the renovation of reservoir (Ahar) channel (Pyne) that ensure the food security and recharge ground water and ensure supply of surplus water in the field through outlet (Baha) of Ahar in the south Bihar region. 2. Ensuring cheap method of irrigation for crop productivity through the water availability and utilizing new ideas, technology like organic farming, River water, SRI culture of agriculture through training programmes. 3. Saving the traditional and sustainable irrigation system of Magadh Region which is Historical and 5000 years old agricultural system. This system controls flood and drought both. Flood is controlled by the distribution of surplus water and drought is controlled by the availability of water in the reservoir for the year by the renovation and community participation.

9 Environmental impact- Reservoir and channel (Ahar-Pyne) recharge of water table through rain water harvesting and water supply from river to village through channel(pyne).water table recharged and uplifted by30-40 feet up This system is cheapest and sustainable resource of irrigation. This affects directly to the subsistence of the farmers. On an average acre land is covered by 1 km pyne. Through this system following benefit can be earned in rural India as we find out from our latest project- Productivity- production of crop increased continuously to quintal/acre in 2011 against18-22 quintal/acre in 2010, quintal/acre in in project implementing area. Employment and Income- The project work depends on the excavation and construction so it engages daily wage earners about including men and women and they get employed in locality that increase 70% employment. Rs /year/acre of farmers and Rs /month of landless worker income increased in compare to previous one in the period of renovation.

10 Our organization trying to renovate the five more pyne in the Gaya district of Bihar by the cost of Rs.4 lacks per kilo meter. That will cover approx. 60 villages by the five pyne and productivity may rise in these areas by the 10 quintal/acre. This all renovation is done within the two years of project. The name of pyne is 1. Raunia pyne (14km), 2.Sahbajpur pyne(18 km), 3.Panari pyne (11km), 4.Barki pyne (22km), 5.Dasai pyne(16km) and total cost of renovation will be three crores & twenty four lacks. Five farmer training to be provided by the cost of Rs. 3 lacks(5x60000). Replicability This Ahar-Pyne system is replicable by any one at any place but it shape may be different according to the land structure and the must be connected to the river that will supply water for irrigation or according to purpose. This is a cheap sustainable system which ensures social togetherness and community participation at large scale. In coming years with excess use of ground water their will be shortage of water supply and this system will only be helpful in all aspects in curtailing all these problem of ground water shortage.
