Bachelor’s Thesis
Enhancing Tribal Livelihoods Through Cluster-Focused Initiatives
My bachelor’s thesis focuses on the indigenous tribes of the Betul district in Madhya Pradesh, India. These tribes have been largely overlooked by mainstream society leading to their vulnerability and risk of cultural extinction. Despite this, they possess a wealth of valuable knowledge about their natural environment accumulated over centuries as the original inhabitants of the region.
The objective of my thesis is to explore and document the livelihood strategies and forest-dependence of these tribes. This includes examining their traditional practices, agricultural methods and resource management techniques that have allowed them to live in harmony with their environment.
One key aspect of my research is to highlight how these tribal communities manage their natural resources without causing long-term environmental degradation. Their practices, such as crop rotation, forest conservation, and sustainable harvesting, reflect a deep connection and respect for nature. These methods stand in stark contrast to some modern practices that often lead to resource depletion and environmental damage. By learning from the tribes’ sustainable methods, urban planners and policymakers can develop strategies that incorporate these principles, leading to more sustainable urban environments.

AMRUT Water Rejuvenation Project: Karan Sagar Lake
Mission Amrit Sarovar - Jal Dharohar Sanrakshan is a government initiative that aims to protect and revive 75 water bodies in each district of India as part of the Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav celebrations. The mission focuses on traditional water bodies such as ponds, lakes, and stepwells that are critical for water security and community development. This project talks about the rejuvenation and redevelopment of Karan Sagar Lake in Datia, Madhya Pradesh with special focus on improved water quality, enhanced recreational opportunities or ecological restoration.
Karansagar lake is been a important landscape element through out the history fulfilling is duty towards residents of the area. As the history passes the lake essence is been declining due to its usuage by the locals.
As seen in above maps Karansagar lake has interconnection with its neighboring lakes maintaing water level of the area. In the history these all lakes works as one water family having individual functionality at different spots of the area, few of them work as religious and rest work as fulfilling the demand of the water by the residents of the area.
Now a days, Lakes is been dying as they were using as dustbin and not even maintained by the locals even a plant “hyacinth” is also a major part for the dying of the lake as it covers surface and inlet and outlet of the lake causing it to spoil and contaminated.
