The communities are now able to adopt DRR interventions and there is evidence that the primary beneficiaries are training others as well. The success stories of others have resulted in more people adopting the implementation of DRR interventions. VEF (Village emergency Fund) is established to provide monetary support as the result of capacity building. A sense of ownership of the community is seen as they contributed human capital resources in the infrastructural works and also through the extra care they have taken to maintain the Ponds, cisterns, culverts, approach roads. The development of networks with the local level Govt. has enabled the villagers to obtain various schemes to their villages.

The villagers started influence the Govt. departments to undertake works that were sanctioned by state and national government. Reaching the end of the project, the issue of sustainability is of utmost importance. Although there was little time to implement a thorough exit strategy to ensure the sustainability of the project, DC field staff met with all the disaster management committees to review the community action plans and plan the way forward.
