520 _aCentral Indian uplands home to more than 70 per cent of India's tribal communities and catchment areas of mighty rivers such as Narmada, Mahi, Tapi and Godavari - present unique land, water and livelihoods challenges as well as opportunities. Sadguru Foundation and PRADAN, two of India's premier NGOs, have argued for long that this region needs a land-water-livelihoods initiative unique to its geomorphology and its socio-economic fabric. During 2002, IWMI Tata Program (ITP) collaborated with these two NGOs to evolve, through a coordinated network program of applied research, a strategy to use small-scale water-control intervention as the centre-pin of tribal agricultural development and livelihood enhancement. This initiative was aptly named Central India Initiative or Cinl. Sir Ratan Tata Trust, IWMI's partner in the ITP offered additional support for a larger, broader program of research designed to culminate into a Cinl strategy. Mainstreaming the Margins elucidates this strategy and also presents the research on which it is founded.
