We present the outcome of innovative action research as capacity building for marginal and smallholder farmers and other stakeholders of Central Himalaya through strengthening social organization and entrepreneurial initiatives. By this, GBPIHED (Garhwal unit) established rural technology demonstration and training and capacity building centre (RTDTC) at three different locations equipped with 13-15 simple and specific technologies. About 41 on site training, capacity building and skill development programme were organized since 2000 in which 3860 participants were trained. The participants were provided on site demonstration, training and technical know-how about various technologies, which enable better understanding of problems faced by the farmers as well as sustainable management of natural resources. Consistent monitoring during and after the programme, feedback from people after adoption of technologies and income earned by each households from individual or grouped of technologies adopted were evaluated and analyzed. The documentation and analysis of action research (quantitative&qualitative) and data related to cost benefit analysis of the technologies adopted by farmers generated through this study has created room for wider sharing of farmer training outputs both at the farm level, and amongst the scientific communities and policy makers. Furthermore, the programme has shown that there is a need to develop and update location specific modifications in technologies has already been introduced /developed so as to maximize the sustainable use of local natural resources and reduce the cost use of external inputs.Keywords

Six species of medicinal and aromatic plants, viz. Allium stracheyi, Allium humile, Allium rubellum, Pleurospermum angelicoides, Carum carvi and Angelica glauca having high economic value were selected for bioprospecting and brought under cultivation from wild in the high altitude villages of Nanda Devi Biosphere Reserve, Uttarakhand. The edible parts of selected species were analysed for nutritional value to evaluate their potential for promoting large scale consumption and cultivation. Among the selected species, macronutrients were found maximum for Allium stracheyi, i.e. carbohydrates (98.34 mg/g), proteins (187.11 mg/g), vitamin C (156.50 mg/g), vitamin B2 (26.12 mcg/gm), vitamin E (61.10 mg/g) and phosphorus (14.13 mg/g) followed by Allium rubellum and Allium humile. The results of nutritional value, cultivation practices and technique of value addition were demonstrated to rural inhabitants through on-site training and capacity building programmes to enhance their skill and awareness about the potential of selected species for livelihood options. The cost-benefit analysis of cultivation and collection from wild, and value addition of herbal spices were done to see if the species were feasible for developing local entrepreneurs. These efforts enhance the ability and knowledge of local inhabitants for cultivation and value addition of medicinal herbal spices in the region. The overall impacts of the work were seen as an improvement in socio-economic conditions of residing community and awareness for medicinal plant conservation in their natural habitat.Keywords
