24 extractive question-and-answer pairs built from 5.1 Climate Action - Adaptation Fund, published by nabard.org. Every answer is a verbatim span of text the source prints, and each row carries the passage it sits in, its offset in that passage, the source quote, the page and the location in the document, so any row can be checked against the original. 18 of the 24 pairs (75.0%) are explanatory questions and 6 restate a figure. 100.00% of rows pass the corpus quality gate.

| What issue has sparse vegetation and deforestation caused in the project area? | worsened topsoil erosion due to poor rainwater absorption | Name of the Project: Enhancing Adaptive Capacity and Increasing Resilience of Small and Marginal Farmers in Purulia and Bankura Districts of West Bengal. Implementing Entity: Development Research Communication and Services Centre Area Covered: 40 Mouza Villages of Purulia and 22 Mouza Villages of Bankura Districts of West Bengal Total Financial Outlay: USD 2. Million Year of Sanction: 2015 Year of Completion: 2022 Name of the Fund: Adaptation Fund Challenges Addressed Sparse vegetation and deforestation worsened topsoil erosion due to poor rainwater absorption. Challenges in rainwater conservation and soil erosion restrict growth of agriculture, with rice being the sole Kharif season crop. Extreme summer heat and heatwaves hinder pre- Kharif farming activities. Water scarcity, unpredictable weather, and unsustainable farming limit Rabi crop cultivation. | 509 | relationship | 0.970 | Million Year of Sanction: 2015 Year of Completion: 2022 Name of the Fund: Adaptation Fund Challenges Addressed Sparse vegetation and deforestation worsened topsoil erosion due to poor rainwater absorption. | 1 | page=1,block=1 | 0.700 | valid |
| What has contributed to an 80% increase in income for beneficiary households? | Support for 2,672 households in raising indigenous small ruminants and birds | Livelihood Diversification: Support for 2,672 households in raising indigenous small ruminants and birds has diversified income, resulting in an 80% increase in income for beneficiary households. 6. Reduced Migration: Improved water security, diversified income sources, and enhanced agricultural productivity have reduced seasonal migration. 7. Women’s Empowerment: The formation of women’s self-help groups (SHGs) and their collective efforts, such as digging ponds, maintaining accounts, and performing community work, played a crucial role in initiating and sustaining developmental activities. 8. Strengthened Social Capital: The project has fostered strong social bonds, cooperation, community ownership of resources, and pride in agricultural achievements among group members. | 28 | relationship | 0.970 | Livelihood Diversification: Support for 2,672 households in raising indigenous small ruminants and birds has diversified income, resulting in an 80% increase in income for beneficiary households. | 2 | page=2,block=0 | 0.700 | valid |
| What role does hyper-local weather forecasting play for farmers? | Local weather forecasts (10 km radius) are more effective than district-level ones in reducing crop losses. | The population comprises historically marginalised groups who once practised low-water agriculture before the Green Revolution. From Struggle to Strength: Fostering Sustainable Practices for Small Farmers Impact The project resulted in reduction of Climate Vulnerability of 5,000 households (22,596 beneficiaries) of small and marginal farming communities. 1. Hyper-local Weather Forecast & Agro-Advisory: Local weather forecasts (10 km radius) are more effective than district-level ones in reducing crop losses. Weather data, translated into Bengali and shared via SMS and community meetings, helps farmers make informed decisions. In recent decades, the region shifted towards a rice-based economy due to the influence of Green Revolution practices. Low adaptive capacity, poor education, and reliance on temporary labour have led many households to depend on remittances from migrant workers. | 406 | relationship | 0.970 | Hyper-local Weather Forecast & Agro-Advisory: Local weather forecasts (10 km radius) are more effective than district-level ones in reducing crop losses.
