In order to constantly test concepts with ground realities, as well as to improve the competency of its own staff, WOTR directly implements several large-scale watershed projects. These are implemented in remote and backward tribal areas and a cluster approach is adopted for more cumulative impacts. 

These become training laboratories for in-house capacity up-gradation as well as for other NGOs and VSHGs.
