The regeneration and development of 150 hectares by the Jhabla village community has improved the supply of fodder in the village. Equitable sharing of benefits by giving equal rights of access to the JFM sites to all households at the village level has also helped in improving the socio-economic conditions of the village community.

Now, the residents of Village Jhabla, neither have to take their animals to nearby villages for grazing nor have to purchase grass from outside, which has saved them a lot of money. The drudgery of women has also reduced giving them more time for agriculture and household chores.
With increased fodder availability, a few progressive farmers of the village are hoping to take up dairy development.
