The Rural Climate Fellow Project involves training 5 women as Climate Fellows from the district of Chhatarpur, north-east part of Madhya Pradesh who will go to 30 villages in the block of Bijawar to disseminate information on Climate Change and its impact on their livelihood. The aim of the project is to enable village residents to use the information on Climate Change, Panchayati Raj, government schemes and infrastructure to solve the issues they are facing.
The impacts of changing climate caused by human activities are becoming visible the world over. In India, rural areas are getting affected with impact on agriculture and rural economy. Information is power and Rural Climate Fellows is a project to provide information through films, posters and discussion on Climate Change to the villages in a district where modern development has not reached yet.
