Title of the Project : Strengthening rural women’s livelihood for a sustainable

Economic development and overall wellbeing in rural
Maharashtra
Project Period : (3 years)

Funding Support : Credit Suisse

Implementing Organisation : Sampada Trust

Project Area:
The project interventions will be implemented in 20 villages from 2 districts in
Maharashtra. From Ahmednagar districts’ Shrigonda block (10 villages) and from
Aurangabad districts’ Paithan block (10 villages).

Target Groups:
The project will target different age groups, which will be categorized as;
 Women
 Men
 Adolescent girls & boys
 Children under 0-5 years
 Farmers

Goal:
The goal of the project is “to make community gender sensitive, with special emphasis
Income generation for women through financial literacy, livelihoods and better
understanding of agricultural factors related to health” in the project area.
Long Term Goal:
Build the communities capacity to secure their own food, nutrition and income at
household level to alleviate poverty.
SAMPADA TRUST will mainly focus on sustainable improvement of livelihoods of women
and her family through sustainable agriculture as well as other non-farm livelihoods and in
particular organic farming, a system of farming using locally available materials to improve
the soil, yield and farmers standards of living as well as adds to the nutritional value of
farmers home consumption.

Objectives:
The objectives of the project are-
1. To strengthen the productive capacity of the women members through farm and
non-farm livelihoods.
2. To improve women's management of their personal and household finances and also
to empower those to choose and access appropriate financial and market services, as
well as to develop and manage entrepreneurial activities.
3. Access to food, expansion and improvement of agricultural markets and trade,
including local and territorial dynamics.
4. To improve the health status of women of child bearing age and reduce maternal
morbidity as well as to improve nutritional status of children between 0-5 years of
age.
5. To promote awareness on reproductive and sexual health of adolescent and
menstrual hygiene along with correct usage of sanitary napkins.

Introduction:

Gender equality in terms of economic and financial opportunities is becoming increasingly

relevant at both national and international level. There is a need to address the financial
literacy of women and girls as a way to improve their financial empowerment,
opportunities, and well-being.

In rural India, women display lower financial knowledge than men and are also less
confident in their financial knowledge and skills. Even though women appear to be better
than men in some areas of short-term money management behavior, they have a number of
vulnerabilities in other aspects of financial behavior.

A number of barriers appear to be related to gender differences in financial literacy. Gender

differences in financial literacy are correlated with differences in socio-economic
conditions of men and women. This suggests that limited access to education, employment
and formal financial markets not only reduce women’s financial well-being per se, but also
limit the extent to which women can improve their knowledge, confidence and skills about
economic and financial issues.

The other challenges surrounding wellbeing of rural women are malnutrition and poor
health. Agriculture has made remarkable advances in the past decades, but progress in
improving the nutrition and health of poor farmers and consumers in developing countries
is lagging behind. The recent IFPRI 2020 conference ―Leveraging Agriculture for
Improving Nutrition and Health (New Delhi 2011) brought together about 1,000
stakeholders to think through how agriculture could be energized to become a more
powerful tool to tackle the persistent problems of food insecurity, malnutrition, and poor
health.

The agricultural sector presents key opportunities for improving nutrition and health. But
this connection is often not given due attention, despite parallel initiatives across the three
sectors.

Agricultural intensification has been essential to feed the world’s growing population, but it
has also brought its own risks for people’s health, including zoonotic diseases, water-
and food-borne diseases, occupational hazards, and natural resource degradation and
overuse. Similarly, water, energy (electricity) and fertilizer subsidies have been linked to
distorted consumption and production choices and the crowding out of public investment.

Organic farming is a system of agriculture that uses environmentally sound techniques for
raising crops and livestock that are free from synthetic compound. The methods used in
organic farming seeks to increase long term soil fertility, balance insect and organism
populations and reduce air, soil and water pollution while maintaining or increasing levels
of production. As opposed to the conventional farming system, organic farming keeps the
welfare of every player in mind including the provision for fairness in farm situation and in
trade. It stimulates the societal and individual responsibility for the environment hence
sustainability.

SAMPADA TRUST therefore, envisions attainment of improved financial literacy,

livelihoods, free from poverty, environmentally conscious and assured in sustainability. It
is committed to promote organic farming in pursuance of its obligation sustainable
development initiatives amongst small scale rural farmers as a means of empowering the
communities towards better living.

Role of Women
Women produce 60% of the food crop requirements and handle the processing of food
crops. In addition, women are responsible for food preparation, childcare, and house
management, which influence their time and energy for agricultural activities.
Institutional involvement of women in the project area development is very minimal. There
is the need to integrate them into mainstream development, which requires an expansion
of the scope for knowledge and skills. There are many areas where women development
programmed with varying objectives can be implemented such as this project.

Strategies for Implementation:

The strategy is to create a facilitating market focused eco-system and provide technical,
organizational and management support to farm, allied and non-farm based enterprises
organized along specific product lines (and value chains) as well as mutual support or
interest groups so that a large number of family, group and individual led enterprises are
able to increase productivity, reduce costs and increase incomes through better market
access, value capture and price realization.
This will be achieved through implementation of a set of integrated market oriented and
social measures that would include capacity and skill enhancement; asset investments;
establishment of financial, market and relational linkages; promoting, establishing and
strengthening of producer/ common interest and solidarity groups (self-help groups) and
business entities or associations (producer groups, farmer producer company,
cooperatives, micro-enterprises, etc. – as required); introduction of market-oriented
production and management processes targeted to each of the product lines (and value
chains) while actively promoting agency for women and undertaking measures that
improve their health, skills and capacities.

PROPOSED INTERVENTIONS:

Capacity building & Institutional Strengthening:

Capacity building enables us to develop competencies and skills that help in making the
project more effective and sustainable, thus increasing the potential to enrich lives and
solve communities’ most intractable problems.

SHG Management Training:
Village level SHG management trainings will be conducted for group members. It will focus
on SHG management including rules, regulations functions of group and maintenance of
accounts.
Entrepreneurship Training Program:
This will include market economy principles, business planning skills, basic
entrepreneurship skills, management skills and cooperative and group entrepreneurship
principles.
The specific objectives of the Entrepreneurship Training Program are to create awareness
of enterprise and self-employment, provide knowledge about starting and operating small
business and prepare participants to work productively in small and medium enterprises.
At a broader level, the overall objective of the Entrepreneurship Training Program is to
contribute towards the creation of an enterprise culture.

Key Entrepreneur Exposure visit and exhibitions:

To get wide exposure about other small enterprises and projects, exposure visits are
planned in the 1st year of project implementation. This will help the promoters and
producer groups to discuss, analyze and interact with the stakeholders of other enterprise
group and projects. This knowledge will be utilized to implement the project activities
more effectively. In the 2nd and 3rd year the producer groups will be encouraged to
participate in district and state level exhibitions to provide them exposure to interact with
like-minded groups, explore market competition, trends as well as develop their marketing
skills.

Formation & training of Producer Organization (Cluster level):

Entrepreneur groups will be involved under on Producer group formation. In this trainings
will be conducted per year at cluster level

The producer groups will help producers achieve more than they could individually and

help in collective production and marketing for their products fetching premium price.
Producer groups/ entrepreneurs will get integrated into the local developmental and
business ecosystem; will be able to access resources; secure better cost/ price realization;
better able to understand the market and respond to it and improve their chances of
survival and growth.

Networking and establishing linkages/ tie-ups with Institutional buyers and sellers,
channels and network partners and digital platforms will be initiated. The producer
groups/ entrepreneurs will be able to manage their enterprises and improve efficiencies.

Promotion of Multilayer Farming:

Multilayer farming is an effective way to switch to a more sustainable kind of farming and
simultaneously meet the food and nutrition requirements of the entire household. It is
modern integrated farming system in which different crops are cultivated in same crop-
field in a specific time. The training (theory, practical and demonstration) will be given to
the women on multi-layer farming.
The produce obtained from it will be for market purposes and household nutrition security.

Digital literacy training:

The main aim of digital literacy is to empower the women through ‘Advance digital literacy
program’. Digital literacy will increase the knowledge base of the rural women and will
enable to use smart phone and its various applications like online payment gateways,
what’s app. etc.

Enterprise promotion - Seed Capital

Disbursement of seed capital to 1000 women, Rs. 15,000/- per women entrepreneur for
working capital thus stimulating encouragement of entrepreneurship in the community for
setting up Micro enterprises activates and market linkage for increased income (Example:
agri. /horticulture/dairy/poultry/goat/microenterprises etc.)

Interest Group Trainings/Producer Group:

New enterprise opportunities in the project areas will be identified and accordingly the
skilled based trainings will be conducted on farm and non-farm based enterprise for the
SHGs women depending on their interest and communities need.

Establishment of Collection Center:

4 collection centers will be established (1 center in every cluster) with basic infrastructure
for product aggregation, depending upon the abundance of the vegetables/ fruits/products
etc.

Testing, registration, marketing material, communication material or marketing

consultation
SHG Registration/ Product lab testing and Certification will make marketing of the
products easier in branding.

Market linkage building/networking with institutional buyers and sellers:

Establishing linkages with financial institutions and markets as well as organizing buyer-
seller-service provider meets.

Exposure Visit for Market Linkage - Key leaders

Exposure visit will be conducted only for the key leader entrepreneurs. They will be taken
on exposure visits to other villages where similar programs were initiated. Major focus will
be on developing market linkages.
Skill Based Training Program:
This workshop aims at orienting women on concepts of enterprise, its need and feasibility
in much more detail. It will guide and train them to select enterprise (agriculture, non-
agriculture) and based on (interest of individuals, capability of individuals). Capacities and
skilled based training to initiate interest based micro enterprises by participants will be
harnessed. The skilled based training will be conducted for example: Detergent based
products, fashion design blouse making, cloth bag making, soap making etc.
Group Business Activities:
The Self-help groups will be encouraged to take up the group business activities.
Awareness and orientation on group business activities will be done. Depending upon the
interest the interest groups will be formed and accordingly group business activities will be
discovered.
For, example Agarbatti Making, Paper bag making, Gunny bag machine, Cloth bag / Jute
bag, Soap making, Daal mill etc.

Health Interventions:
Because women constitute the foundation of both families and communities, their well-
being is essential for the success of those around them. Protecting that well-being is a
central challenge of women's and children's healthcare in most communities. Women, who
are key in maintaining healthy families, access the health system more than men, both for
themselves and on behalf of their children. Many become pregnant and give birth, a
significant health event, then typically become their child’s primary caregiver, a role that
greatly influences household health overall.

PROJECT IMPACT ASSESSMENT:

The following system will be adopted for ensuring that the project is implemented as
planned and expected results are achieved:

1. Personnel will work to a plan which will decided at the beginning of the project and
reviewed on a monthly basis at the project level.

2. At the management level, the project will be reviewed quarterly or earlier, if needed.

3. At the start of the project, a detailed baseline study will be conducted of 25% of the
direct beneficiaries and 15% of the indirect beneficiaries using a randomized stratified
sampling survey method.

4. The indicators mentioned above will be monitored on an annual basis to track

progress and introduce changes in strategy and interventions, if required.

5. Case studies will also be undertaken to gauge the impacts of the measures on
individual households/ groups.
6. At the end of the project period, a third party evaluator will be engaged to assess
and validate the results of the project

SUSTAINABILITY
The project will conducted on three phases (I, II, and III)
Phase I: Data base and information collection, establishing the Information Points,
Research and Training.
Phase II: Training, capacity building and information dissemination, formation of producer
groups and choosing the suitable products based on group abilities to set up enterprises.
Phase III: Projects Identification, Project Planning and implementation, communication
and exchange of experiences.
In the first year sustainability through the following activities will be initiated:-
1. Planning and implementation of project in consultation with the community.
2. Training programs for Producer groups, Mahila Pravartaks, Village Health
Committee (VHC) and Peer Educators from adolescent and youth population who will
in turn conduct different awareness programs and activities in villages.
In the second year, sustainability of the project will be further strengthened by -

1. Further training and capacity building of Producer groups, Mahila Pravartaks, Village Health
Committee and Peer Educators from adolescent and youth population.

2. Participatory approach in awareness activities.

In the third year, sustainability of the project will be further strengthened by conducting
training programs and exposures for producer groups for smooth working of the
enterprises.

After the project implementation ends, the project can continue by itself, without external
support, and the project purpose is sustainable in the long term. This presupposes that
effective mechanisms are put in place by the recipient administration to disseminate and
consolidate the results of the project.

RISKS INVOLVED IN THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PROJECT:

Sensitized and trained community members might be unable to hold together onto their
convenient groupings making it difficult for follow ups and sharing of ideas. Other than that
there are no substantial risks associated with this project. However, one cannot predict
how the social dynamics in a village may work out. As in every group situation, there are
personal rivalries and family feuds; adversarial contests for power and position; one-
upmanship and attempts to garner undue privilege and wealth. The interplay of these
forces can have negative consequences on group cohesiveness, solidarity and enthusiasm.
