Abstract

Transferring to grassroots organisations, the responsibility of running the participatory process within their communities is a key requisite for ensuring the sustainability of any participatory and integrated watershed management process. However, successfully transforming this responsibility also greatly depends on the existence of empowering conditions in the institutional environment. Keeping this in view, an attempt has been made in the present article to study the organisational structure, institutional arrangements and performance of Hill Resource Management Societies including the membership pattern, participation of women and disadvantaged sections of the communities in villages situated in the foothills of Shiwaliks in Haryana State. The performance of societies has been judged through various parameters including revenues generated by them and efforts made by societies to improve their resource management capacity in their functioning.
