A Seasonal Calendar of a rural community in West Bengal (India) is included in this blog.  This was carried out a few years ago during a Participatory Project Management (PPM) workshop in that location.  The Seasonal Calendar was developed using a variant of the Ten Seed Technique (TST) ranking tool, but this time involving a couple of dozen village women using in effect a ‘Twenty Seed Technique (TwST)’ to brainstorm and score monthly variations of the following throughout the year.

• Rainfall
• Water Sources & Availability
• Agricultural Labour
• Sickness
• Food Availability
• Money In
• Money Out
• Labour at Home
• Other Labour

The Seasonal Calendar is taught as part of Topic TC06 (The Ten Seed Technique) in the online, accredited Participatory Disaster Risk Management (PDRM) program –  see link below
