India's 84 million indigenous people inhabit the harsh drylands that receive low rainfall. In the rankings of the Indian caste system, adivasi (meaning 'original people' or tribal) are the most downtrodden socially and economically. They have less access to commerce and public services. The challenges of poverty reduction in India's drylands are complex so not just one agency can tackle this issue. This article offers a case study on how a non-profit agency can contribute to poverty reduction in remote villages through water resource management in partnership with the community, government, non-government and corporate sectors in Gujarat state of India.
