The concept is a holistic approach and combines possible combination of all renewable energy for effectively meeting mountain village with environmentally sustainable energy requirements and co-relating livelihood like agriculture into one holistic ecology with its interaction with the outside world. The concept encourages balancing forestry in shifting cultivation by introducing agrarian practices at a pace, conserving ecology with development, rural reforestation and stable agriculture by means of plantation or terracing by key stoning technology into the system. From where on anything which is endemic to the climate crops would be sown and further linked with market facilities national or international.

Its a simple story about a cold windy mountain village at an altitude of 2000 meter, where women folks would gather water at the foot of the streams by any means in dark or stormy or cold weather. Man would burn forest to clear the land for growing crops before the rains and leave the mountain bald for the next five years unreasoning what happens to it making no sense of symbiotic needs of the ecological system. Forgetting that the world has developed into a era of technology. As it says the approaches are directly confrontational to an environmental approach, but considering the least of any such development the parameters for working in this challenges would greatly enhance an approach towards environmentalism, as per perspective it could dimensionally look at studying rural ecology with a wider perspective of needs rather than random developments. But the core of it would be utilization of renewable energy like wind and solar and building the ecological system around it, where I think might create the changes in the ecological behavior of the system Most importantly it address a cycle of livelihood activates,of a village especially mountain economy, because their is a rare case of production on mountain terrains, also the other factor being that agriculture has always been looked as a physical attribution of the plains, even government agencies have strong ignorance for it, therefore their is a huge lack which itself is a subject matter with wide scopes. The contribution towards the subject is just sensible practicals to text book lessons.

The primary activities of the project would be to identify villages, study various parameters like height of the village from sea level, population, facilities like whether electrified or not, forest area cover, cultivated area in that case shifting cultivation, wind speed, sunlight etc. A holistic data would be prepared. On the basis of the conceptualized data, a holistic design to approach the ecology will be studied considering the ecological needs of the people and the environment. Identify the natural resources under each village’s disposal that includes natural resources like forest, agricultural land, water, ecological diversity and the capacity at which human development has taken place. The next course would be to identify areas of food deficit, salt deficit, trade and livelihood of a village community in the area, drinking water etc.etc An approach example to the project environment will involve certain cases like progressing shifting cultivation of crops towards tapping of potential water for irrigation for terracing or encouraging plantation, and, addressing the power of electricity by introducing renewable energy like wind and solar and potential implements that can be utilized using electricity for agriculture and other rural activities. The idea is to progress with a solution in place like a one stop solution shop for their needs. After understanding the problem then the project will cater to the NEEDS of the system. A key stone approach to these problems might just be electricity, and the most conventional method might be the availability of it which in turn might help create an integral development of system into the approaches of hill cultivation and development of the destitute region. With reasoning that mountain regions have strong resources with wind speed, extra sunlight etc. which means utility of available resources for electrification. Also in this case we are considering the run off water not being tapped being utilized and with electrification water can be pumped upwards to channels for terracing and storage. Here, we are not considering mass build up of dams etc but sustainable enough for the village eco system. From this point of view the utility of resources would enhance the prospect of other co-relation like agriculture or plantation symbiotic to the climatic conditions of the region while facilitation for the agriculture produce by market linkages will be an integral part of the project. For this cultivable land would be identified rather than drastic cutting of mountains for terracing and the project is to consider the viable needs and production with better facilities of seeds and machinery etc. What could outcome from this would be an integrated approach towards environment conservation, agriculture economy supported by market linkages and development of lively hood. Also inside the system villagers would be trained in repair and production of the new technology introduced. It is clearly intended to impact an ecological setup of a village system by sustaining it with new technology and productivity of the region.

Nagaland is a land which is about 16,579 sq km and has a "Green Cover" of about 80% also its urban population according to 2001 census is 17.2 % and 70 % of the population is into Agriculture, and the community here practice the most faulty mountain Agriculture system called “Jhum” or shifting cultivation. 1. Every village is build on the criteria of a social order which consists of a Chieftan and his elders, and the villagers under this capacity the government of India recognizes this villages according to it and all resources with the villages area is governed and maintained by the people of the villages since time immoral . 2. A village is created and recognized by the Government of India on the basis of the amount of land holding which consists of a minimum of 4.5 sq km. 3. Within the village area all developmental activities are carried out by the villages, and all natural resources such as water, forest, biodiversity, are solely the responsibilities of the respective village which looks after these resources. 4. Apart from this there are also private land owners who over the years have made purchases of this village lands and have carried out their own developmental activities. 5. In after much failed years of governance the state government of Nagaland implemented the policy of communitization which means local village governance but as of now it has not been defined, but as is in Government implementation it is “also under process of its definition”. But this itself has made many realize that finally governance has been defined. The other political aspect is the insurgency in the region,which has often made the area volatile to the regions, balance of development. I have been engaged with the community for the past 3 years first a fellow with Commutiny 2009-10 on the above project.
