      During the Tenth Plan, WGDP will have two key components viz., improved natural resources management and improved access to tribal hamlets through footbridges. The management of natural resources will be attempted in a participatory mode with the involvement of Village Panchayats and NGOs with appropriate support from R&D institutions of the state. The focus will be on evolving viable and replicable models for the different agro-ecological zones for upscaling through local governments.
