INSTITUTIONS & GENDER

The prevalent covid scenario was a setback for team’s engagement around different SHG led
institutions however during post covid, team has brought back its focus on strengthening
different tiers of institutions. Consistent effort of team has gone for reviving and re-
functionalizing the GPLFs to establishing GPLF as a connecting forum between SHG and BLF.

Key Milestones

 Within last 6 months 6 out of 12 GPLFs have been

revived and functionalized.
 Institutionalization of welfare and entitlement
schemes has been initiated in 4 GPs through
GPLF. Around 150+ left out beneficiaries of ration
 card were listed out in village level after discussing GPLF and applications were
submitted in block from GPLF.
 As per the SHG master data collection around 62% SHGs are running regularly.
 SHG audit process initiated through revenue model and 25 SHG books are audited till
date.
 Checking of SHG books of accounts in GPLF meeting is an initiative taken to strengthen
SHGs and monitor the condition of SHGs.
 Nirbhaya the BLF has regularized in last 6 months and initiated norm setting and
finalizing the core offerings of the BLF for its members.
 Key offerings that are identified are such as helping members for VAW cases, providing
information on various schemes and helping them to
avail the entitlements and opportunities.
 8 representatives of Nirbhaya visited Sampurna
federation as well as the federation networking
workshop to broaden their vision on federation
strengthening.
The revenue model which was planned to provide SHG audit
service couldn’t be established yet due to lack of efficacy of the trained auditor pool. Team is
planning to collaborate with OLM and Mission shakti for the SHG audit in large scale through
the CRP (CMs) of OLM. A kobo form for the same has been developed which will further
simplify the process.

PG AND PC

 23 PGs are formed in the block and all the PGs are engaged on winner crop cultivation to
enhance their income.
 18 PGs are of A and B category and they are conducting their PG meetings on regular
basis, preparing the annual plan and pursuing the standard of cultivation.
 The board members of Mahila Pragati FPCL are intensively involved for different
management activities of the PC.
 The identity of Pragati has enhanced through its services across the PGs. This year it has
initiated providing support to some new villages and they have joined the PG.
 The BOD has taken charge of their institution and conducted the recruitment process of
its officials like accountant and CEO.
 MPFPCL is also facilitated exposure of some other FPCs on better functioning process.
Major strategy to achieve the annual plan-

 Member SHG finalization for GPLF and BLF and their perspective building
 Including CRPs and MBK, Pranimitra, Krushimitra in GPLF meetings in all GPs
 Orientation of CRPs (OLM) around financial literacy and SHG audit
 Patch level training and on field demonstration of audit to CRPs
  Module preparation for GPLF and BLF meeting for better effectiveness
 Orientation of new members on gender, laws related to women rights etc
 Training on different topics (livelihood, gender, entitlements etc) in GPLF level
Livelihood Promotion

Team is involved in agriculture in APC & FPC approach, Livestock and enterprise for livestock
promotion in the team. Agriculture as the major livelihood option covers around 70% of the
total outreach and 37% of the agriculture outreach are covered through APC & FPC. Similarly
51% of total outreach is doing livestock rearing and 21% of livestock outreach is following the
better practices. The enterprise, skill and forest based livelihood are in the initial stage and
reached to very specific pension of the community.

Agriculture

0The livelihood intensification is in the focus of the team with market based vegetable and
other winner crop cultivation and 88 villages are covered under APC approach. Rest villages are
covered with an objective of food sufficiency. 23 producer groups are formed covering 3000
women producers and they have selected 4 winner crops such as 1) Brinjal 2) Marigold 3) Chilli
4) Marigold for intensifying their income.

A review of the overall livelihood strategy adopted by the team for the year

 Team has started the kharif

agriculture planning process in
the month of April. Major
focus was to complete the
planning process in all PGs
timely and advance collection
for input through PC. The PC
has designed the package of
different crops and shared it in
simple Odia temple to all the
villages. As per the packages Rs 6 lakh advances collected form farmer done through PC for
timely supply of required inputs. The package consists of fifty days full crop care remedies
along with seed. It helped us for ensuring proper package of practices.Those farmers, who
have not come into the advance system, for them PC stated on-spot village level input selling
to farmers. PC groomed its business promoter at village level and through them also input
selling continued with a commission basis and door step service to the farmer was ensured.
 Credit linkage through Mission shakti BLF and OLM GPLF for availability of fund with
farmers in right time to procure different farm inputs.
 This year team has deliberatively planned to do convergence with ITDA for input support in
less area (within 100 acres) as compare to the last year. The though behind of this decision
was
o Timely nursery raising for early production
o Improvising the PC business and crating ownership of the farmers regarding PC
o Long term sustainable approach as ITDA will not provide input for all the year

With this approach we have done a convergence with ITDA for 97 acres of brinjal
 Looking into the market attractiveness increasing the
area of marigold with convergence with OLM. Odisha
livelihood Mission has provided only sapling support for
124 acres of marigold. The rest inputs were procured by
the farmer by giving advance to PC. Transplanting of
marigold in two phases looking into the festive season.
 Organizing pre kharif exposure for new village for
mobilizing them to cultivated vegetable as cash crops
 Regular review, monitoring and grooming of field cadres
for ensuring different activities at field level
 Capacity building of Udyog Mitra on basic agriculture package of practice and engaging
them to ensure the PoP at farmer level timely and regularly providing the status of the village
through WhatsApp group.
 Grooming Krusi Mitra of OLM for engaging them in light touch approach villages
 Cluster development in specific winner crops
 Community nursery at all villages to raise quality saplings.
 Organizing post kharif exposure looking into the rabi agriculture.
 Convergence with Hort. Dept for single line trellis to promote beans cultivation with
intercropping in NPM approach.
 Developing two NPM intensive PGs, the major intervention planned like installation of solar
trap, inter cropping, use of Trichoderma culture, waste decomposer, pranambrut, application
of FYM in field and chemical fertilizer less vegetable farming.
 Utilization of IBCB cost of PG to procure different farm implements to reduce the drudgery
of the women farmers and easy ensure of PoP.

Different livelihood options undertaken during the Period:

 All the planning process and winner crop selection was done at PG level. This year we
focused in four winner crops as cash crop like brinjal, chilly, beans and marigold.
Cowpea, turmeric, pumpkin is also in the crop basket for income enhancement of the
farmers. Pigeon pea was cultivated for own consumption purpose to address the nutrition
sufficiency of the family. 608.8 acres of vegetable cultivated across all 23 PGs and 394
acres of pigeon pea was cultivated in those PG areas in hilly terrain.
 In last three year 632.5 acres of plantation done across the PG area with convergence
with department of horticulture. This year we have undertaken new 70 acres of
plantation. The 1st year plants have started fruiting form this year, in coming few years
these plantations will become a major asset for the farmers for their livelihood
enhancement.
 This year farmers have cultivated marigold in 124 acres of land, which is a growth of
77.14 % as compared to last year. In the financial year 2019-20 marigold was initiated in
Kolnora block in five acres of land now it reached to a growth of 2380% in area.

Status of PG around Key Parameters:

  23 producers’ group have been promoted consisting of 3000 women in 88 villages as per
OLM and Mission Shakti guideline
 20 PGs are coming in grade A/B as per the grading test of OLM and Mission Shakti.
 All the 23 PGs have received the IBCB cost of amount 45.72 lakhs, from which 22.56
lakhs expenditure done for procuring different farm implements for the PGs and
providing salary of UM. 14 PGs also received the working capital cost of amount Rs
11.20 lakhs, in which 4.95 lakhs of expenditure done in this kharif.
 Average area of cultivation of each PG for this kharif season is 43.6 acres, which
includes high value vegetables and pigeon pea.
 18 out of 23 PGs have participated in the collective marketing process in this six month;
we are expecting all the PGs will come in this fold in coming Qtr. In total 1005.38
Quintal different commodities have marketed collectively.

Status of innovations and demonstrations and its effectiveness

1. Mulching in marigold

This year 1.5 acre mulching applied in marigold

to look in to the increase or decrease in
productivity. However, till now it is found that
the growth of the plant is quite better than the
open field plants. Also, due to higher number of
branches, the number of buds per plant was 3
times more than the un-intervened plant. On
the opposite side it was evidenced that the immediate transplantation after
mulching damaged the sapling. Also, it was learned that the application of basal
dose in plant helps a lot in growth of the plant.

2. Pineapple cultivation
As three PGs in Kolnara block have more hilly land,
vegetable could not be established as a winner crops
these areas. For these terrains pineapple was thought
for experimentation. 30000number of pineapple
sucker are being provided to 50 farmers for this
purpose. In this experimentation till now 80% plant
has survived and the suckers have started forming
new root and leaves.

3. Grafted Brinjal
As brinjal is one of the winner crops of Kolnara block and huge crop damage occurs
due to bacterial attack team planned to experiment grafted brinjal. Under these 4000
numbers of saplings is being provided to 13 farmers. Till now there is no such
damage happened due to disease attack. However, in this intervention the farmer
 needs to visit the field regularly and look in to each and every plant. Because in these
grafted plants the mother plant always tries to generate branches of base plant. So, the
farmer has to prune it regularly.

Progress on regenerative Agriculture:

This year team has decided to develop two intensive PG on NPM practice, the following actions
have taken up

 Application of Neem cake and Trichoderma at field. Farmers have done summer plough
and ensured application of compost/manure at the time of transplantation and nursery
raising.
 Farmers are using different organic medicines and fertilizer like Agenyastra, Handikhata,
Jibambruta, waste decompose, Pranambrutaand the farmers have done inter cropping of
radish & cowpea and trapping crop of marigold to control pest attack.
 In few major crops like pigeon pea, cow pea, beans, pumpkins and turmeric farmers are
not using chemicals pesticides and fertilizer. They are only using the bio products and
FYM in their field.
 20 solar traps installed in brinjal plots to reduce pest control.
 Multilayer farming with 5 farmers
 Beans cultivation in single line trellis with intercropping. No chemical fertilizer used in
those fields.
 Nipping of pigeon pea for good growth and application of neem oil for sucking pest.
Learning:
 Sufficient amount of FYM application resulting good plant growth
 Multilayer farming in 20 decimals of land proving an income of 40-50 K annually.
 Use of waste decomposer also proving good results in plants.
 For pest control periodically spraying of agnyaastra, neemoil is required
Challenges:
 Couldn’t focus end to end engagement in NPM practice.
 Due to heavy rain fall regularly, we couldn’t control the fungal attack in vegetable plants,
so applied copper oxy chloride to avoid the crop loss
 Sufficient amount of cow urine and FYM is not available at field level.
 Farmers are intending to chemical pesticides use.
Plan for scale up:
 Multilayer farming
 Turmeric and chilly intercropping model with all NPM practice.
 Beans with trellis with intercropping.

Progress around FPC

The Mahila pragati Farmers Producer Company was formed in 2020 by 322 producers and it has
started its formal business from 2021-22. So this is the 2 nd year for the FPC to provide different
door step services to its producers with an objective to ensure Rs 20K additional income.
Strategies adopted

1. Increasing the product basket

a. Input:

In addition to the winner crop PC promoted different other creeper and short cycle crops for
intercropping to minimize the risk for the producers. Some crops like cowpea, cluster beans and
radish as intercrop in brinjal, marigold and chilli.

b. Output:

Except the marketing of winner crop team had a plan to put its hand on marketing of other
available things of the area like pineapple, custard apple, mango and tamarind. In all these
products a business volume of 12.23 lakh is being generated with average margin of 10.19%.
However, team also experienced that there is a price hike occurs in the market whenever PC
enters in to the commodity and then the price decreases. Through this process the producer
could able to get additional 2-4 rupees per KG of product.

Product Sales quantity Value (Rs) Margin %

Tamarind 32733 KG 1088830 12.64
Mango 854 KG 23108 12.15
Custard apple 138 Crt 91000 -3.16
Pineapple 1546 No 21060 -60.85

2. Bank payment and receipt from vendors

To reduce cash transaction in PC this year QR codes for PC is being issued and 90% of the
payment from vendors is being received through these QR code. Also PC is giving 98%
payment to its input suppliers through bank transfer.
3. Community level meeting on marketing for making community aware about the difference
between wholesale and retail marketing. Along with this the community is transparently told
about various charges being deducted by PC during marketing to bring ownership of
community on PC.
4. Carder grooming
The business promoters are trained on crop care practices to reach additional farmers. Along
with that they are being trained on maintaining books of account to
make the accounting standardized and transparent for the
member.

3. Gender Sensitive action and institutionalization process

 Focus to regularize the PG meetings and all the crop planning done in the PG forum.
 All the operational area is divided among the professionals to strengthen the
institutions and to develop connection among the community to develop a sustainable
system.
 Inclusive decision-making process and financial literacy of women on financial
reports/terms: This year the BODs are involved in different processes of decision
making like quotation analysis, vendor identification, package preparation for farmers
etc. in addition BOD is being aware on plan Vs achievement, different financial jargons
and their meaning, reading financial reports etc.
 • Interaction with different vendors: under this approach the board members interact
with the vendors through phone as a agenda of BOD meeting
• Discussing on financial statement with BOD: in addition to build capacity of directors
on reading financial statement financial statement of each quarter is presented in the
board meeting by the accountant.
• Inclusion for recovering credit from vendors: The FPO members are included in
recovering credit from the market for enhancing their bargaining skill.
• Visit to Vendor’s shop: As a strategy leader of different PG have visited to different
vendor’s shop to get knowledge on bigger market, get feedback from the market
players on business process and product quality.
• Business plan preparation for the company at the beginning of the year: As a strategy
of inclusion of leader pool of PC have gone through the training of business plan
development and prepared the annual business plan for the year 22-23 at the
beginning of financial year.

Resource mobilization strategy and amount of program fund mobilized

1) Mobilization From Community

a. Input advance
For the purpose of working capital, the community was oriented about the preparedness
before adopting any crop. Under this strategy the community was aware on problems arises in
our context due to lack of timely availability of Agri input and damage percentage due to the
same. With this strategy a sum of 6.5 lakh rupees is being raised from community as input
advance. This money not only helped the community to get timely input but also act as working
capital for the PC.
b. Share capital
Past year team had focused to mobilize 17 lakh paid-up capital from the shareholders. In which
team could able to mobilize 1800 members investing 13.5 lakh rupees in the company.

2) Mobilization From Stakeholder

a. Mobilization of working capital from Mission shakti
This year team have a plan to mobilize 25 lakh working capital for PC from mission shakti. For
this purpose, team have already submitted 5-year business plan, PC details to program
secretariat for further follow-up.
b. Marigold sapling & brinjal input mobilization from OLM & ITDA
This year for a quantum in marigold to establish as a cash crop in the area, marigold sapling for
120 acre are being mobilized from OLM department worth 9.6 lakh rupees. Similarly ITDA has
supported brinjal cultivation in 97 acres worth 13.58 lakh.
c. Mobilization of storage structure
 In addition to working capital application for allocation storage infrastructure is being
submitted to mission shakti department, which is under process.
Technology Used

1. Use of application to track real-time cash flow in PC

2. Use of application to track real-time stock movement
3. What’s App group
For information sharing on weather, immediate action to be taken, rate declaration and
cross learning.
4. Aadhar Enabled Payment System (AEPS): team has initiated a process for direct
money transfer to the account of the women farmers through the AEPS. 7 AEs are
groomed and they will do the process in this year.

Major Challenges
• Last yr Cotton price misguided vegetable farmers
• Delay in Input supply by ITDA
• Cont. rain fall, Delayed fertilizer application – stunted growth & wilting
• Delay in vegetable classed with Paddy calendar
• Red ant in Brinjal
• Back to Back external visits hampered planned engagements.
• Cash transaction in the FPC
• Long pending payment from vendors
Major learning
• Full package system reduced tension of FPC
• Credit linkages helped for investment
• Input advance helped to generate working capital for the PC
• Sometimes introduction of company increases the price of commodity (tamarind, custard
apple, pumpkin)
• Proper planning reduces stock loss as a result cost of input to farmer reduces
Way forwards
• Team reorganised with 3 Panchayats each for professionals for effective community
engagement.
• Team initiated collection of Bank details for account transfer in the upcoming season.
• Identifications of the irrigation potential villages and rabi planning
• Indenting for sunflower and large scale cultivation with specific interventions.
• Continuing engagements of the Ums to ensure interventions at village level
• Grooming young professionals and CSPs on agriculture practices.

Livestock
Team is involved in intensification of goat rearing, backward poultry rearing, layer, color and
broiler bird rearing and bioflock under the livestock activity. Earlier there were more focus in
the Mukundapur patch but this year team has strategically tried to move to all the patches.
Further there was only focus on poultry but this year attempts are made to balance the both
goat and BYP rearing. Some attempts are also made to experiment various new practices such
as ethno-vet, Biofloc and broiler in the operational area to bring significant income from the
activity.

 Convergence with different departments like Mission Shakti, OLM and Veterinary for
value addition in livestock activities and joint action with the staffs.
 Use of ethno-vet practices through the PMs.
 Action research on some ethno-vet practices to standardize its effectiveness.
 Experimentation on different varieties of poultry bird rearing to standardize the poultry
initiative.
Some new initiatives of this year

 Biofloc enterprise
30 SHG members of Sarabguda initiated the
bioflock activity in group mode through the
 support of OLM and Selco foundation. OLM has supported 4.5 lakh, selco foundation
has supported solar energy for 20X7 and community contributed Rs 0.5 lakh for the new
initiative. 2000 Morrell and 3000 Rupchand fish are cultivated in the 6 tanks (15000ltr
capacity each). The morrell fish couldn’t survive due to some varietal issue and the
Rupchand are growing as per the expectation. The farmers will get an income of Rs 1.2
lakh from the 1st culture of 6 months duration. The Governor of Odisha has also visited
the enterprise and encouraged the farmers.
 Broiler farming
Team has initiated 2 group based and 1
individual broiler farm with the support of
Mission Shakti in Badakhilapadar, Karagadi
and Robadi village. The SHGs have taken
loan from the Mission Shakti and initiated
the activity and there are 40% grant from the
Mission Shakti. The average weight of the
birds is around 1kg with 98% survival rate.
Another 5 such entrepreneurs are in the
pipeline.
 Goat farming in group mode
Due to the goat marketing initiative the farmers are now motivated towards goat
rearing in the operational area. 2 SHGs of Bandhaguda purchased 25 goats each by
investing 2.7 lakh through bank loan. They are using 2 low cost goat shed made earlier
for the purpose. Similarly other 5 SHGs of different villages have made the low cost goat
shed with the support of Mission Shakti and keeping their goats in the shed.
 Experimentation of Ethno-vet practices
Some ethno-vet practices like use of Liquid mineral calcium, Digestive Cum De-wormer
Powder, Chireita etc. Digestive Cum De-wormer Powder is a multipurpose powder and is
suitable for de-wormer, immunity booster, bloat, indigestion, anorexia, fever,
inflammation, liver functioning. Apart from ruminants it can be fed to BYP too. We have
captured the effect with some farmers and got the better result and now planning to
expand. Similarly there are good responses for liquid mineral calcium and the SHG has
sold 90 liters locally with better result for milk increment in goat. Team is going to
initiate an enterprise based on these materials.

more focus is going for the brooding.
 Due to lack of technical knowledge in the field of Bio-Floc challenges are faced in
implementation of Bio-Floc.
 Though of regular and on-time vaccination still there is outbreak of diseases like pox in
chicks resulting in mortality
 Proper running of the Feed units.
 Poultry supplied by department are of low quality
  Lack of carder cost for livestock interventions.
Focus area for coming 6 months to achieve the team’s goal

GDA 64 12000
Tech trade 53 11000
Retail 9 14000

Strategies adopted-
 Awareness campaign and IEC
material distribution around skill
and education in different blocks

 Patch wise classes for learners in 3 study centers
 Class activities like – quiz competition, essay writing etc, class test for betterment of
learners
Struggles-
 Reluctance of parents to send their daughters to distant cities
 Young girls engaged in unorganized sector like prawn factory
 Vacancy not available in specific trade
 Drop out of mobilized candidates
 Difficulty in progress in other blocks due to not having cadres
 Difficulties in continuity of the class due to distance of WEH,jkpur.

Major Take away-

 Sharing of success stories in different community forums can be an effective way to
mobilize candidates.
  Reason for drop out of candidates need to be analyzed and addressed.
 Dropped out students can be engaged in enterprise
 Trade wise WhatsApp group of candidates to be in regular touch with them.
 Detailed and clear information need to be shared with candidates and parents both.
 Need to engage in the existing enterprises

Focus for the next 6 months-

Major focus for next half of the year is as follows…
 Mobilizing around 500 candidates for skill in order to reach additional 300 women in
placement.
 Follow up with dropped out candidates
 Providing better quality education to the learners to help them to succeed in the exams.
 Running and stabilizing the existing enterprises
 Sharing success stories and visuals distribute IEC material and spread the information in
GPLF meetings in order to institutionalize the process.
 Capacity building of learners & skill candidates on gender and women rights.

Partnership action and Engagement with stakeholders/systems

Team is mostly associated with different government departments and CSOs of the area and
outside for various development action. OLM, Missionshakti, ARD, DRDA, ITDA and
horticulture departments are associated for livelihood enhancement, program fund for the
farmers, farm mechanization and plantation and there are enhanced relationships with PRADAN.
Similarly we are associated with the forest, revenue and ITDA for FBL and claim making
process. The relations with these departments have developed but reflection in work is very slow.
Further team has not able to establish good relation with OLIC and OAIC for irrigation
infrastructure creation.
Team has established good relation with the Harsha Trust, B-able and Selco foundation for
exchange of knowledge. In last 1 year team could able to enhance good relationship with PRI
members around FRA.
Challenges in partnership
 The government partners sometime use us as there extended hand to ensure and organize
things, which create extra work load over the team.
 In few cases (particular to officers) they don’t want to share the credit of good work done
in the field.
  Sometimes govt partners through the responsibility over us during failure.

Team has more engaged in the district for program fund mobilization from different
departments and mobilized 28.85 lakh as input support to the farmers. Apart from this team
has submitted one proposal on skill in the district but it was not successful. There are deficit Rs
24.33 lakh of development support cost in the team for the FY 2022-23.

The last 6 months were critical and eventful for the team. Most of the district and block
level officials got transferred and new officers have joined. It took time to build relationship
with the new officers to represent PRADAN. However team could able to manage it better and
placed PRADAN in a better state. As a result of this the District Collector visited 2 times to our
area and appreciated the work. The honorable Governor of Odisha Prof. Ganeshi Lal has visited
2 of our villages. Similarly team has successfully organized and hosted 2 donor visits such as
Rainmatter and BMGF in the team. Similarly team realized that due to the thematic focus the
connection with the community is reducing. So team reflected on that and reorganized to
strengthen the community institutions by taking responsibilities of the operational areas. 4 new
DAs have joined in the team and team is focusing to build them along with the intensification of
different activities. Team is putting its best effort to achieve the set standard and hopeful to
reach to the goal by the end of this financial year.
