3. Learning Outcomes: Mahila Kisaan Sashktikaran Pariyojana was launched in Bihar with the objective to improve
the present status of women in agriculture and to provide the opportunities for their
empowerment. The project was abled to cover 93308 women farmers in the span of 3 years
under different agriculture interventions. Also during the time 88902 farmers have adopted at
least 1 intervention mentioned under MKSP. The special focus under the project was to
enhance yield and ensure food security .Still the capacity building & market linkage with
value addition is a big question. Therefore, the project needs an extension of 2 years from
01/04/2015 to 31/03/2017 with some modification in the existing project.
The major changes proposed under restructuring are:
i. Promotion of organic based POPs of vegetables
ii. Promotion of different cropping practices like Inter cropping, mixed cropping &
multilayer cropping to maximize profit
iii. Focus on Community Facility Centers(CFC)
iv. Focus on Capacity Building training through Farmer Training Information
Center(FTIC)
v. Focus on Community managed Irrigation Systems(Solar/Drip/Sprinkler)
vi. Focus on Resource Conservation Techniques
vii. Focus on producer group formation for collective economic activities
4. Rationale for Project restructuring:
4.1 Project Restructuring Details:
MKSP restructuring is proposed with following changes:
A. Remove seed Input Support: It is proposed that the project will create opportunities for all
women farmers to be the part of producer groups. Hence the fund support would be
diverted in to the PG formation & capacity building of farmers.
B. Proposed activities/Interventions:
i. System of Root Intensification in Paddy with 75000 farmer
ii. System of Wheat Intensification in Wheat with 50000 farmers
iii. Cauliflower under Organic cultivation methods with 20000 farmers
iv. Tomato under organic cultivation methods with 15000 farmers
v. Brinjal under organic cultivation methods with 25000 Farmers
vi. Lady’s Finger under organic cultivation with 25000 farmers
vii. Green Gram under organic cultivation methods with 20000 farmers
viii. Maize under organic cultivation methods with 20000 farmers
ix. Potato under organic cultivation methods with 30000 farmers
C. Vermicompost pit promotion
D. Focus on POP by multi tier cropping/ Mixed cropping/Inter cropping
E. Focus on Livelihood Institutions: It is proposed that 300 producer groups would
be formed with an inclination towards market linkage. MKSP will support in
funding the working capital and establish the basic infrastructure.
Bihar Rural Livelihoods Promotion Society
F. Establishment of Common Facility Center: MKSP would focus on establishment
of Community Implement bank which would be hired, owned and operated by
CLF.
G. Establishment of Farmers Trainings information Center (FTIC): It is
H. Introducing Community Knowledge Center at VO level
I. Dedicated man power for MKSP implementation in each block.
5. Livelihood Initiatives:
5.1 Agriculture technology/Methods:
Agriculture initiatives under MKSP are highly focused on sustainable agriculture
practices which have been disseminated amongst target project beneficiaries with the aim
to reduce cost of cultivation and maintain fertility of soil. Sustainable agriculture
practices like line sowing, seed treatment, proper seed rate, plant spacing, integrated pest
management / i n t egra t ed n u t r i en t management practices, use of organic
fertilizers ,s ys t em o f root i n t ens i f i ca t ion , irrigation water management, etc.
have been disseminated which has resulted not only in the terms of productivity
enhancement but also have reduced cost of production.
System of root intensification for paddy and wheat is widely disseminated resulting in
higher yield and cost cutting in production. SRI, SWI have increased the productivity by
two times and ensured food security for the poor households. Based on the grass root
realities, restructured MKSP is proposed to carry out system of root intensification in
paddy and wheat. Cultivation of different vegetables will be carried out by use of organic
fertilizers, integrated pest management, cropping systems (Multi tier cropping/mixed
cropping/inter cropping).
The project has strong belief to scale up System of Root Intensification in paddy &Wheat
and scale up organic cultivation practices in vegetables, oil seeds & pulses to create
additional income at the level of poor households.
5.2 Market focused Producer Groups:
The restructured project is proposed to focus on collective marketing of agriculture produce
by forming producer groups. The BRLPS has successfully piloted producer group concept
across the project area with the following objectives:
i. To aggregate rural producers into viable economic groups which will have enhanced access to
resources (including financial capital, labour, raw materials etc.) technology and markets on a
sustainable basis;
ii. To strengthen capacities of producers for collective activities and achieve more benefits
through application of all stages of production cycle;
iii. To fund necessary productive infrastructure, machinery, equipment, technical assistance of
Bihar Rural Livelihoods Promotion Society
on-going activities that increase SHG member’s income
iv. To increase income through introduction of cost reduction, productivity and quality
improvement and risk mitigation approaches; and
v. To establish sustainable market linkages and ensure reasonable prices for producers of the
rural community to gain a better bargaining and negotiating power.
BRLPS has successfully moved a step forward in collective procurement and marketing of
Maize with NCDEX in Purnea district. In the proposed extension of the project, 300 PGs will
be formed in 15 blocks of 9 districts over a period of 2 years and aimed to provide collective
marketing for the major agriculture produce.
5.3 Training and capacity building:
i) Farmer Training & Information Center:
Farmer Training and Information Centre’ (FTIC) is envisaged as one such platform which
provides farmers an opportunity for training, information and learning at cluster level
interactive digital platform. The center will work towards the last mile knowledge delivery
and seamless integration of agricultural technologies & information sources with the needs of
farmers in a particular agro climatic condition. The centre proposes to provide an ICT enabled
infrastructure which aims at strengthening extension and capacity building of SHG members
with locally relevant and improved information on agriculture technology and market. It is
proposed to establish 15 FTIC in 15 blocks of 9 districts.
ii) Community Knowledge Centre:
Community Knowledge Centre is a platform which will provide opportunity to farmers for
training and cross-learning at village level. In order to achieve desired outcomes, an effective
last mile knowledge dissemination and implementation is required by creating local content
and capacity building of farmers which works as the local repository at VO level, stored in
digital form. It is proposed to implement, one community farmer field school in each
producer groups.
5.4 Common Facility Centre:
The concept of Common Facility Centre will be introduced with the objective of farm
mechanization through up gradation of technology for raising agriculture activities. It will
provide farm machinery on rental basis to farmers who cannot afford to purchase high end
agriculture machinery and equipment apart from serving old machinery.
The center will play a pivotal role in introducing high technology agriculture machinery to
poor women farmers with the objective to boost crop production, improve quality of
agriculture operations and drudgery reduction. It is proposed to establish 45 Common Facility
Centres over a period of 2 years.
