Chapter 1: Project background, context and rationale

The project aims to empower 10000 women for their recognition as women farmers in semi-arid and fragile regions of Kutch and Patan districts of Gujarat. Besides women empowerment strategy, the project aims to build a conducive environment among service providers from government and non-government so that benefits go to these women. The project therefore makes serious endeavors to reduce drudgery of women farmers so that they have time and resources for participating in mainstream decision making related to agriculture operation at household, villages, cluster and block levels. The project is positively based towards single women headed households and women with disabilities. Here we have proposed to cover 3960, women farmers from Rapar taluka and 2592, women farmers from Bhachau taluka which is total 6552, women farmers will be covered from Kutch district and 3448, women farmers will be covered from Santalpur taluka of Patan district.

Kutch District :

Kutch district, is a district of Gujarat state in western India covering an area of 45652 sq. km. It is the

largest district of India. Kutch literally means something which intermittently becomes wet and dry; a

large part of this district is known as Rann of Kutch which is shallow wetland which submerges in

water during the rainy season and becomes dry during other seasons. The same word is also used in

the languages of Sanskrit origin for a tortoise. The Rann is famous for its marshy salt flats which

become snow white after the shallow water dries up each season before the monsoon rains. We have

proposed Rapar and Bhachau taluka of the District.

Rapar Taluka :

Rapar is among the least developed talukas in Gujarat. It is prone to drought and proximity to Rann. It is situated on 22.44.8 Lon. North and 24.41.30 Lat. It is among the worst affected talukas not only from the impact of earthquake but also from frequent droughts. Migration is also the major challenges in this area. The households are also very scattered. The major population has agriculture as the major means of livelihood, followed by unskilled labour and animal husbandry. This shows the tremendous degree of dependence on the natural resources, which are getting degraded. The current scenario on different aspects is presented in the forthcoming sections. Total 97 villages are there in Rapar Taluka. Total population is 198000, out of them 102674 is male and 95326 are female. The railway line is of 45 KM. The rivers located are Jan Madhiya in Shira Vandh and river Fifvo in Gedi. The rainfall is 446 mm. The mountains are Lilvo Dungar. The main crops are cotton, castor, bazra, tal, cumin, isabgool.

It is located 275 KM from State capital Gandhinagar towards East. Bhachau Taluka is bounded by Gandhidham Taluka towards South , Adipur Taluka towards west, Anjar Taluka towards west , Rapar Taluka towards North .

Patan District : Patan District was formed on 2-10-97 from the parts of Mahesana and Banashantha Districts. Patan District was formed including Patan, Siddhapur, Chanasma, Harij and Sami Talukas of Mahesana district and Radhanpur and Santalpur Talukas of Banaskantha District. The head quarter of the District is Patan. In this District 7 Talukas viz Patan, Siddhpur, Chanasma, Harij, Sami, Radhanpur and Sakul have been included in Patan District is situated between 20° 41' to 23° 55' north latitudes and east longitude of 71° 31' to 72° 20'. The area of Patan District is 5600 sq. k.m. In the north and north-west borders there is Banaskantha District and in the west there is the border of Kutch district. In the south and south-east there is Desert of Kutch and some part of Surendranagar District. Besides this, there is Mahesana District situated in the east part of Patan. Patan lies between 210 40` & 220 50`N Latitude and 700 10`& 710 00`E Longitude in the northwestern part of Gujarat, with Surendranagar in the South; Kachchh in West; Banaskantha in North and Mehsana in the east surrounds the district. The major centers of the district are Siddhpur, Santhalpur, Patan, Chanasma, Harij, Radhanpur and Sami. The general topography of the land is flat with very little slope and the types of soils available in the region are – black, sandy loam and sandy. The moisture retention capacity of sandy loam is good but it is moderate to low in other cases. The pH in case of sandy loam is of desired level i.e. around 7 but it is higher (7.5-8.5) in other cases due to higher sodium salt content. Groundwater accounts for 85% of the irrigated area in the district. With the average annual extraction of groundwater more than 70% of the annual recharge (1991) and with continuing trend of over-development of groundwater for irrigation has resulted in widespread depletion of ground water resources leading to problems in large parts of the district. The water levels have been falling alarmingly every year in most parts of the district. Santhalpur is one of the most disadvantaged talukas not only in the district but state too. Santalpur : Santalpur is among the least developed talukas in Gujarat. It is prone to drought and has closer proximity to Rann. The major population has agriculture as the major means of livelihood, followed by unskilled labour and animal husbandry. This shows the tremendous degree of dependence on the natural resources, which are getting degraded. There are 73 villages in Santalpur taluka. Male literacy level is 51.7% and female literacy level is 22.3%. Overall literacy level is 37.4%. It is located on 23.45 Lt and 71 La. The main crops of the region are bazri, juwar, pulses, jira. The main river of the region are Banas and Khari. The average rainfall is 5 to 6 inches. Aluwas is the tourist place situated on the boundary of the Kutch district. Radhanpur is the nearest city situated 30 km from Santalpur and 70 Km. from Patan head quarter.

1.2 Rural Poverty Context in the area

a. Poverty and Human Development:

Kutch (Rapar & Bhacha)

Caste based scenario :

Rapar is a multi-caste area, with social and economic inequity among these different castes. There are strong inter-caste conflicts. The major castes, described as higher in social status, are Darbars, Patels, Ahirs, Rabaris and Gadhwis, while the disadvantaged sections include Kolis, Harijans and Muslims. The Darbars are from the ex-rulers community, who had been following a feudal system. There is a tendency at all the levels, among the community, to continue with the status and the privileges these people enjoyed. Both Darbars and Gadhvi men are considered to be the local bullies and the most aggressive. There are inter-caste conflicts between these two higher castes and the disadvantaged castes, leading even to murders on certain occasions. Patels, Rabaris and Ahirs enjoy high status and do not get involved much in conflicts. The Harijans are considered to be the most disadvantaged group from social perspective. They face untouchability and even Kolis practise this with them. They are neither allowed to enter houses nor temples by the higher castes. The next socially disadvantaged group is of Kolis. They migrate for about 6-7 months in a year.

b. Vulnerabilities – widows, destitute :

Based on the baseline survey conducted by BSC in Rapar and Bhachau Taluka of Kutch District in 2002-03 with 906 Households from 42 villages of Rapar (24/97) and Bhachau (18/71) taluka with total population of 4114. The salient findings of household (HH) level and village level are :

Migration related details –

In all 32 (3.3%) HHs reported migration in last 3 years. About 72% reported that ‘they don’t migrate’

while 31% said that ‘they haven’t migrated in last 3 years’ but could be migrating if necessary. The

reasons for migration vary with lack employment, scarce resources in the village and lack of rain.

Income of migrant families varying between 10,000 and 40,000 rupees per annum.

Of total 49, none of the families migrate from 9 villages, 6 of Bhachau and 3 of Rapar. Less than 50 families migrate from 27 villages – 19 of Rapar and 8 of Bhachau taluka. About 100 families migrate from in all 5 villages – 4 of Rapar and one of Bahchau taluka. Thus the migration is higher from Rapar in comparison to Bhachau taluka.

Asset holding – About 11% have no asset.

House - Almost 87% reported having house as an asset. Of these, about 50% have one room

house; 23% have two-room house. Almost 60% do not have legal electric connections. Among KDM,

80 to 88% HHs have ownership of house, 100% of OBC and 83% of ‘others’.


Land - In all 191 (21%) are land holders, of them, 60% are small (< 8 acres) farmers, 21% are

marginal (9-17) and 19% are big farmers (18 – 26 & more acres). Almost 15% have this facility. Of

total 191, there are 79 (41.4%) HHs belong to ST, 67 (35%) to SC, 10 (5.2%) to Muslim, 18 (9.4%)

OBC and 17 (8.9%) to ‘others’ category. There is no information about one HH in this regard. Almost

three-fourths (74%) cultivate the land once in a year, mainly for self-consumption, very few sold

vegetables (2) and pulses (1) and used for fodder (4) and some sold half the crop and the rest for

self.

Cattle – In all 239 (26.4%) HHs own and rear 430 cattle. More than three-fourths (88%) have ‘moto

maal’ (cow, buffalo and bullocks) and the rest have ‘zino maal’ (goat and sheep), few have camel.

Majority of them (192 HHs) reported that the milk and its products are for house consumption and

do not earn money; of the rest (47), the income varies between 5,000 and 25,000 rupees a year.

Cattle rearing among different social groups – SC (39%), ST (37%), Muslim (9%), OBC (11%) and

others (4%).

Vehicles – In all 52 (5.5%) have vehicles. The use of vehicles vary - 8 HHs use vehicle for agriculture

purpose, 14 for self-transportation, 18 for travel of others and 10 that give vehicles on rent to earn

money. Eleven HHs reported that they earn nothing out of vehicle, 21 HHs are able to earn less than

5,000 rupees annually, 12 HHs earn between 5,001 and 12,000, and 6 HHs earn between 12,001 and

24,000 per annum. Of total 52 owners, SCs 26 (48%), STs 14 (28%), Muslim 6 (12%), OBC 4 (8%)

and 2 (4%) ‘others’ own vehicles.

Ornaments - Almost 55% have ornaments. Most of them have silver and silver-gold mixed

ornaments.

Most important asset and opinions about asset - The house (708) is considered to be the most

important asset among all; followed by ornaments (462); cattle (189); cultivable land (151); non-

fertile land (18) and vehicle (44). However, 93 respondents have said ‘no asset is important’.

Indebtedness –

Of total 906, only 14 families reported to have debts to repay. The amount of debt is between 5,000 and 25,000 rupees. Of them, 5 HHs has to take loan for social occasion; 3 HHs have to buy asset; 2 HHs have taken loan for business (as weaver); two have taken loan for health treatment; one has taken loan to get a job.

Vulnerable groups – widows, destitute

Total number, sex, taluka, religion, social categories –

The total number of widowed person is 194; of them, 143 (73.6%) are female and 51 (26.4%) are male.

In all, 103 (53.1) are from Bhachau taluka while 91 (46.9%) are from Rapar taluka. In all 169 (87.1%)

follow Hindu religion and 23 (11.8%) follow Islam, no information about 2 widowed persons. As per

social categories, 56 (28.8%) belong to SCs; 39 (20.1%) to STs23(11.8%) are Muslim, 49 (25.3%) to

OBCs and 25 (12.8%) to ‘others’ category.


Income generation activities –

Of total 194, 109 (56.2%) are engaged in labour (agriculture, casual); 18 (9.3%) are cultivators; 14 (7.2%) are

self-employed; 41 (21.2%) are not working including retired and destitute; of the rest, 2 are in private service, 3

are mason, 2 survive on begging and one is a driver.

The economic vulnerability of this group is obvious with their occupation and income data - 32 16.5%) have

‘no income’; 21 (10.6%) earn between 12,001-36,000 rupees per year, of them, 13 are widows; and one (0.6%)

earn more than 36,000 rupees who is a widower. Among 143 widows, 103 (72%) earn less than 12,000 per

year; of all 166 (85.6%) earn less than 12,000 per year. These figures portray a very clear picture of the widows,

as poorer among the poor and thus the most vulnerable group.

Almost half the widowed (94 – 48.6%) work for 8-10 months in a year; 17 (8.8%) work almost round the

year and 27 (14%) work for 6 months. In all 36 (18.6%) widowed reported ‘do not work’ (not applicable) and

there is no information about 6 persons.

Asset holding among widows - The asset holding among these widowed is almost in proportion to the

total asset holders, mainly for house (87%), land (cultivable & noncultivable – 20%) and cattle (26%). However,

the proportion for vehicles (1.6%) and ornaments (35%) are much lower than the overall population among

widowed persons.

Government services & benefits received by widows – The ration card ownership is as high as 95%. Slightly

more than half (102) reported their names are enlisted on the voting roll. In all 12 reported to have benefits of

the government schemes.

Widows facing hostility or discrimination at different places – More than two-thirds of widowed (152 –

78.%) face discrimination at temple and fairs & festivals (169 – 87%), which indicates that widowed have very

little scope to appear at public places. About a third of widowed (68 – 35%) have reported about hostility they

face at upper caste person’s house. The others reported visiting tea stall (35); barber’s shop (19); and Panchayat

office (3), as many widows need not go to these places, and most of them would be widowed males.

Opinions of widows for reducing hardship/removing discrimination – In all 127 (65.5%) reported that ‘it is

not applicable to them’, which is contradictory to the extent of discrimination that they have reported. This also

could mean that these respondents do not see themselves as torch bearers for solving the problems and so

reported this.

PATAN (Santalpur taluka)

The major occupations of Patels and Ahirs are agriculture and Animal husbandry .The Thakkar are involving in trading and business. Rabaris have the major occupation of animal husbandry and some of them also take up rain-fed agriculture. They generally migrate with their cattle for about 7 months in a drought year. The Thakors are involved in agriculture, labor in farms and animal husbandry. The bajaniyas have very marginal agriculture with limited implements and their major occupation is Trading and labor work in farms, Generally they migrate twice in a year. The Harijans and kolies are involved in Labor work .The most marginalized communities are Bajaniyas, Kolis and Harijan. They do not have secured source of livelihood and do not have productive resources.


1.3 Context of Social Inclusion and Social Mobilization :

Kutch District :

Gender based scenario : The status of women is a cause of further concern as besides disadvantaged sections, those from some higher castes such as Darbars and Gadhvis, are also at a disadvantaged position because of poor access and control on resources. The Darbar women generally do not get opportunity to get out of their houses. Their status can be gauged from the fact that they are not aware of many aspects about their village. They are not allowed to get educated in schools. They are allowed to access health services when their condition worsens a lot.

The women from Patel and Ahir communities handle household related functions. The older, among them, can sit in joint meetings with men and express their views but they have limited role in decision making. However, they have freedom to move out. The women belonging to Koli and Harijan communities can sit freely in joint meetings with men and express their views. If need be, they use veil. They contribute, occasionally, in decision making too. They have almost equal share in the division of labour for productive activities. The Rabari women handle both household as well as external functions since the men are busy in animal husbandry. The women take responsibility of making purchases and have exposure to the market and external environment.

Economic scenario: Oswal is the most prosperous community, with about 99% of them involved in business activities in Mumbai and abroad. Their population, in these talukas, is therefore very less. The major occupations of Darbars and Gadhvis are agriculture, small-scale business and contract works. The major occupations of Patels are agriculture and business in places like Mumbai. The Ahirs and Muslims are mainly involved in agriculture and small-scale contracts, while Rabaris have the major occupation of animal husbandry and some of them also take up rain-fed agriculture. They generally migrate with their cattle for about 7 months in a year. The Kolis have very marginal agriculture with limited implements and their major occupation is unskilled labour work in salt, charcoal making and agriculture. The Harijans have marginal agriculture and masonry work as their major occupation and some are involved in service. Kolis, Harijans, Rabaris and to some extent the Ahirs do not have productive resources. Patan District :

In Santalpur taluka, less and inconsistent rainfall and proximity to Rann led to scarcity of sweet water, low farm productivity and poor vegetation cover and in turn affecting the major occupations of people - agriculture and animal husbandry. People have no other livelihood opportunities; the area becomes a classical example of push migration, where the people are forced to move out of their habitat for search of food and basic amenities.

Though, agriculture forms the main source of livelihood of the local community, due to the excessively degraded conditions of land, ever decreasing land productivity & capacity, less return from grain crops and ultimately small operational land holdings (due to division of land with increased population) has forced people to look for other locally available livelihood. After agriculture, Animal Husbandry, unskilled, labor work in farms, forms the next most widespread livelihood option available to the local communities, besides migrating to other areas. Moreover, these livelihood options are seasonal and highly susceptible to climatic vagaries. And sometimes the climatic


inconsistencies render these livelihood options an ‘either-or’ situation for the local communities rather than becoming a constant source of wage (and not income).The Patel constitutes the most economically, socially, and politically powerful communities of the region, owning the agriculturally most productive lands. The other socially and economically powerful community is Thakkar, who are involved in trading and money lending business. The weakest and most economically and socially backward communities are the Kolis, Harijans, Rabaris and Bajanias. A lot of exploitation takes place here and human rights are blatantly violated.

Cohesion promoted SHGs since the year 2001 in various parts of Gujarat with a long term objective of building a safety net for households and inculcating the habit of thrift. The SHGs, started with activities related to Natural Resource development including, Agriculture development, Micro Savings and other non farm based livelihood options. Cohesion has played a significant role in making SHGs as vehicle for empowerment and has thus promoted following registered federations in the proposed program area:

1.4 Context of Financial Inclusion

The Federations in the proposed project area make use of the revolving fund of Rs. 13 lakhs given to them by CARE and also they have been able to successfully link SHGs to the Banas district Cooperative bank. The eight SHGs have completed two cycle of loan and are presently in the third cycle where in, they have received a loan Rs. 1, 15,000 per SHG. The market for organic products has been linked with private organizations, such as Arvind Mills, OASIS and with Bhachau and Gandhidham market for Medicinal Plants. The groups have established linkages for horticulture crops with markets in Nashik, Navsari, Palanpur, Jaipur, Delhi and Ahmedabad.

1.5 Performance of MGNREGA in the State

The MGNREG scheme has been implemented in Gujarat state since 2006 with the objective to provide 100 days of guaranteed wage employment to the rural house hold whose adult members volunteer to do unskilled manual work. The scheme is primarily as safety net work for the poor, it is also an effort to create durable assets which in turn can trigger rural growth, leading to sustainable development and rural employment. During the implementation of scheme in the year 2013-14 it was observed that the pace of programme implementation is showing a stiff down trend and resulted as nil work in 7714 GPS of the state out of the total 14000 in the state.To deal with the issue it was felt by State Government of Gujarat to engage the civil society organizations (CSO) to support for better implementation of MGNREGS in the state. Nine NGO were selected for this task and invited by Rural development department for field based support.

Cohesion Foundation Trust was selected as CSO for 129 villages of Patan block of Patan District .Based on discussions with CSO a common frame work for operation was developed. .The time limit is nine months i.e. from 1-January 2014 to 30 September 2014. CFT’ is approaching various stakeholders like job card holders

village panchayat, bloc and district authorities and concerned banks to find out the hurdles in the process and trying to act as interlink to facilitate the process in such a way that more number of works are started and more Jobs are created.

1.7 PIA’s prior experience in developing the prototype for proposed interventions : Ongoing Project supported by Action Aid : Action Aid supported Project titled ‘Towards Ensuring Access to Productive Resources For

Marginalized Women Farmers’ is ongoing since October 2012 in Chikhli Block of Navsari District of South Gujarat, covering 500 Marginalized Tribal women, with a focus on Primitive Tribal Group.

The main objectives of this project is as follows:

1. To provide strong economic support to 500, women farmers through direct provision of agricultural support services.

2. To build women’s capacities for effective usage of the services provided. 3. To advocate for policy and legislative frameworks that actively promote women’s farmer’s access to

resources. 4. To build, or strengthen, networks and movements to strengthen demand for rights of women farmers.

Formation of Women Groups and Federations Cohesion promoted SHGs since the year 2001 in various parts of Gujarat with a long term objective of building a safety net for themselves and inculcating the habit of thrift. The SHGs, started with activities related to Natural Resource development including, Agriculture development, Micro Savings and other non farm based livelihood options. Cohesion has played a significant role in making SHGs as vehicle for empowerment and has thus promoted following registered federations in the proposed program area:

Agriculture activities taken up with existing women groups by Cohesion Foundation Trust Cohesion believes that improved soil conditions augmented with better agricultural practices would go a long way to provide locally available sustainable livelihood options thus impacting socio-economic status. Therefore array of interventions such as soil moisture reclamation & conservation, vegetative control and prevention of further soil erosion were taken up. Interestingly, each of this intervention has been recognized as model of excellence for augmenting livelihood security of the region and has potential for replication by other stakeholders regionally. We developed partnership with different organizations like NABARD, IWMI, SMALL FARMER’S AGRI-BUSINESS CONSORTIUM (SFAC), Oxfam, CARE AND TRIBAL DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT, GUJARAT intervening for Agriculture sector.


The major current interventions in the Agricultural sector were: Ground water management Project with IWMI Cohesion is working in the area of Water Management in the semi-arid areas of Gujarat, in partnership with International Water Management Institute. This project is called as North Gujarat Initiative (NGI) and is being implemented by Cohesion since 2005 in Patan and Banaskantha districts, which are facing acute water shortage due to its over exploitation. Cohesion’s focus is in introducing water saving technologies in the villages including drip irrigation and popularizing organic farming to the maximum. At present Cohesion is working in 95 villages, covering 4115 farmers. Cohesion has facilitated forward and backward linkages. Promotion of Vegetables & Pulses Project through Farmers Organizations in partnership with Small Farmers Agribusiness Consortium (SFAC)

This project is implemented in both Gujarat and Chhattisgarh. 3000 farmers in Chhattisgarh and 4000 (including 1000 each from Kutch and Patan districts) are being covered in Gujarat. The purpose of the project is to collectivize farmers, especially small producers, at various levels across several states, to foster technology penetration, improve productivity, enable improved access to inputs and services and increase farmer incomes, thereby strengthening their sustainable agriculture based livelihood. Project Sunshine : Organization implemented the Project Sunshine under Development Support Agency of Gujarat (D-SAG), Cohesion along with Development Support Agency of Gujarat (D-SAG), an autonomous body of Tribal Development Department started work on Project Sunshine in 2009 in AmirgadhTaluka for Banaskantha District. The project aims to bring out changes in the agriculture practices and double the income from land related activities in the scheduled areas. Since 2010 to 2012, we have covered Sankheda and Naswaditaluka of Vadodara with covering total 387 villages. We have covered about 15000 farmers in these two districts. Te major crops are maize and pulses for food security, besides cotton as cash crop. With OXFAM The project titled “Promotion of Organic Farming & Medicinal Plants for sustainable livelihoods” has been implemented since 2004 in 17 villages of Rapartaluka in Kutch district, covering about 500 farmers. The interventions taken up pertain to agriculture & technical interventions and market development.

With CARE Since 2001 Cohesion has worked for different projects in Kutch, Patan and Rajkot districts of Gujarat in partnership with CARE. The projects undertaken include ‘Agricultural Input Program & Horticulture as Means of Livelihoods’ and ‘Community management of Natural Resources’ and “Towards doubling the income of farmers’ through bridging the knowledge deficit”.

Besides these interventions, we have promoted horticulture and other agriculture based interventions in South Gujarat and Chhattisgarh.

Chapter – 2 : Detailed intervention strategy and phasing

2.1 Vision of Success : Recognition of women as farmer by empowerment through farming

a. Objective of the project : To improve skills and capabilities of women to support farming and farm based

activities To improve net incomes from farming and to sustain agriculture based livelihoods for

Small and marginal women farmers. To reduce the level of drudgery for at least 5000 women through introduction of

women friendly mechanized farming. To improve natural resource base in farms of women farmers particularly in rain fed

areas by harvesting rainwater and conserving soil. To provide special package for at least 600 single women headed households.

b. Key Outputs :

Briefly describe the main objective of the project, the guiding principles, the values /non negotiable


Reduction in cost of cultivation by 30%.

Increase in the income by 20% from sustainable agriculture and livelihood.

Improvement in the skill and capabilities of women farmers.

Benefit will be ensured to single headed women household.

Increased recognition of women as farmers by women themselves, men farmers, PRI’s,

and service delivery systems.



2.2 Project Strategy : The project aims to empower 10000 women for their recognition as women farmers in semi-arid and fragile regions of Kutch and Patan districts of Gujarat. Besides women empowerment strategy, the project aims to build a conducive environment among service providers from government and non-government so that benefits go to these women. The project therefore makes serious endeavors to reduce drudgery of women farmers so that they have time and resources for participating in mainstream decision making related to agriculture operation at household, villages, cluster and block levels. The project is positively based towards single women headed households and women with disabilities. The Foundation will be channelizing the interventions through village level women Farmer Producer Groups (FPGs; 1 group on 20 farmers) and block level Farmer Producer Company (FPCs; 1 per block). There will be 1 Community Resource Persons (CRPs) for every village. The CRP will be a local person and a progressive farmer. Existing SHGs will take an active role to identify CRPs. The CRPs will be trained and given exposure on community institution management and sustainable agriculture. Beneficiaries will be mobilized through village level meeting (gram sabha) following one to one interaction. The Foundation will involve existing community organizations in this regard. Total 500, FPGs will be formed. Foundation will organize regular meetings with FPGs and FPCs to generate feedback about day-to-day operation facilitate planning and promote women‟s participation. A block level Farmer Resources Center (FRC) is also proposed through which the women farmers will get information on all farmer friendly Govt. schemes and can apply for it with the help of the centre. It is proposed to promote joint ownership of land. To partnership with pioneer organizations: A collaboration with IIM Ahmedabad based organization – SRISTI will be promoted for identifying indigenously knowledge of farmers.

Documentation : Documentation of indigenous knowledge on agriculture will be carried out and published.

Women farmers having indigenous knowledge will be appreciated and rewarded. SMS based extension services : Apart from their routine communication it is proposed to link

SMS – Based Agriculture information sharing services through customized software. Under this services women farmers having mobile phones would be sent SMSs like which verities to grow for a specific crop, information of prevalence of diseases and pest and their remedial measures, which market gives better prices for the farm produce and the like. This services are very useful in case of epidemics when fast communication is required.

Village level farmer training programs will be organized for WFPGs. The women farmers will be trained and sensitized by experts on all aspects of sustainable farming practices, cattle rearing and agro-marketing. Also educational videos will be shown and exposure visits will be arranged for farmers as part of information dissemination.

Trained CRPs to act as key persons for all on-field guidance to farmers. Better Cotton Initiative Model : Under this Better cotton Initiative model it is proposed to

cover about 500 women cotton growers in each taluka. Thus for 3 talukas under project intervention areas about 1500 women farmers would be covered under BCI model. It may be highlighted that this would be first such model in BCI, world over, involving only women farmers, boosting their identity as farmers.


Drudgery reduction for women farmers through fuel efficient cook stoves :

The women in the block have little time to relax due to their dual responsibility; in farming as

well as in domestic work. During work days, woman wake up very early in the morning and

work round the clock from preparing food to harvesting crops to milking cattle.

Introduction of fuel efficient cook stove (using biomass fuel) as demonstration units for 10%

of farmers will save time spent and labour involved in fuel wood collection by minimum 50%.

Women will get at least one hour of free time daily. The stove will also save them from

respiratory diseases arising due to exposure to smoke.

Also innovative bio-gas plant using waste have been proposed. About 10% of women farmers

(1000 ben) will be covered under this innovative bio – gas plant component.

MahilaKissanSammelan for convergence Since the primary objective of this project is development of women farmer it has been

proposed to organize MahilaKissanSammelan once in a year. All project partner women farmers

will be invited to one day MahilaKissanSammelan. The MKS will provide a larger platform for

experience sharing and confidence building through convergence activities. Also the

outstanding women farmers would be appreciated and motivated through prizes during the

MKS.

2.3 Community Institutions Architecture

WFPG (Women Farmer Producer Group) will be formed at village level. There will be 6, cluster per taluka. The capacity building training will be given to the CLF (Cluster level federation). Then Federation will be registered at Taluka level.


Chapter 3 Detailed Program Components

3.1 Detail of Proposed Action This section should include

1. Plans for promoting and enhancing food and nutritional security for women farmers?

Food Security means that all people at all times have physical & economic access to adequate amounts of nutritious, safe, and culturally appropriate foods, which are produced in an environmentally sustainable and socially just manner, and that people are able to make informed decisions about their food choices.

Under any balanced diet, it requires to have fruits and vegetables also alongwith food grains. Therefore, the following model has been proposed :

Food Grains + Pulses Fruits Vegetables

Bajra + Green Gram (moong) / Math 1-1 Acre each

Lime / custard apple / pomegranate / ber At least 15 fruit trees

Cluster bean / Brinjal / /Tomato / Okra / Bottle gourd / Guvar, etc. As a kitchen garden

In this model, it is proposed to cultivate vegetables under kitchen garden where asfurits as a border crops. Low cost input based farming practices like Integrated Nutrient Management, Integrated Pest Management through composting, use of neem based bio-pesticides will be promoted to sustain this model.

2. Strategies addressing sustainable/evergreen/regenerative agriculture; may include (all /any) of the

following strategies

a. Soil Health improvement Soil testing for the farms of each women farmers will be carried out to reduce the practice of blanket application of fertilizers. This will help in reduction of cost of inputs. Total number of 10000 women farmers will be covered under soil testing programme. Since the average land holding is about 4 ha, It may be mentioned that an area of 1 hactare would be covered under soil testing programme. b. Soil & water conservation and ground water recharging

In all the talukas, women farmers will be linked with existing state government and centrally sponsored schemes like MGNREGA.


c. Low cost sustainable practices such as NPM/ IPM/ Integrated Nutrient Management (INM)

Integrated Pest Management :

At present various IPM practices have been followed in respective crops.

Use of pheromone traps, bio-control agents like chrysopa, lady bird beetle, trap crops, inter crops, bio-

pesticides will be used in the crops like cotton, castor.

For the crops like bajra, Integrated Pest Management Practices like use of bio-pesticides and pheromone

traps will be followed.

Use of castor cake, calitropis leaves as an anti-termite

Integrated Nutrient Management :

INM practices to be followed:

Soil testing

Deep ploughing for better soil aeration.

Use of vermicompost, farm yard manure and other organic fertilizer

Use of micro nutrients and secondary macro nutrients (Ca, Mg & S).

IPM practice to be followed:

Seed treatment

Control of insect and pest:

a) Cultural control (grow marigold and ladies finger as trap crops)

b) Biological control( use cow urine and neem based bio-pesticides)

c) Mechanical control (use pheromone trap, yellow plate, bird perches)

c. Management and control of seeds (identification & adoption of suitable farmer preferred varieties from a basket of choices)

In the project intervention areas, high yielding varieties as recommended by the respective agricultural universities will be demonstrated to enhance the farm productivity. Timely, cost-effective and quality seed supply would be ensured by building capacity for input supply programme. An issue of poor quality seed in the project areas prevail, so that, Small scale seed bank would be developed to ensure good quality improved variety seeds for the women farmers.


d. Mitigation of risk of exposure to hazardous farm practices

Awarnessprogrammes to be launched on precautions to be taken in while using pesticides and

chemical fertilizers. Also literature containing remedial measures in case of accidental intake of

pesticides would be developed in a pictorial form.

e. Bio-diversity enhancement Promotion of Seed Bank Concept for preserving bio diversity. Seed bank is a traditional concept practiced by farmers in ancient times. The women had been involved a lot in this but slowly this practice has been dying. This concept is very well applicable today also and needs to be revived. Every year need for good quality seed for higher productivity is felt by the farmers. In the proposed intervention areas it has been observed that farmer procure seeds from unauthorized merchants who sell poor quality seeds at higher rates. Farmers have no guarantee of its authenticity and suffer low productivity after using these poor quality seeds. It has been proposed to procure good quality seeds from the farmers of the same area and supply to the needy farmers who presently procure seeds from unauthorized merchants. The seeds will be supplied in a reasonable rates in a time bound manner. It is proposed to involve 100 women farmers in Balasar cluster under this component and to develop a model.

f. Use of indigenous knowledge A collaboration with IIM Ahmedabad based organization – SRISTI will be promoted for identifying

indigenously knowledge of farmers. Documentation of indigenous knowledge on agriculture will be

carried out and published. Women farmers having indigenous knowledge will be appreciated and

rewarded.

g. Suitability of technology to the local agro-ecology

The agricultural activities proposed – INM, IPM, Seed Bank etc would ensure the sustainability to the

local agro ecology.

h. Resilience to climate change – Integrated Natural Resource Management The agricultural activities proposed – food security model, INM, IPM, Seed Bank etc would ensure the

Resilience to climate change – Integrated Natural Resource Management.

3. Targeting : Approach and Details on landless, small and marginal farmers as project participants About 50% of the project target groups are small and marginal farmers Also landless farmers, who are doing cultivation on leased land, will be considered under the project. It is worth noting that priority would be given to women headed households–Minimum 600 women. Emphasis on asset ownership by women, including land.

5. Plans for Post-project Sustainability and Scaling-up strategies.

The strategies and systems and processes for making these organization sustainable have been narrated as below : As the sustainability is one of the important aspects of any successful project, it needs a special attention. Capacity building of various stakeholders i.e taluka level women farmer producers company, women farmer producers group, community resource persons about their the roles and responsibilities would be carried out in a comprehensive manner. The women farmer producer company would act as resource organizations and charge user fees for their support with respect to identifying better markets for selling up of farm produce as well as locating ideal agencies for procurement of inputs. It is very important for sustainability to provide long term technical assistance to WFPC and the same will be ensured through technical linkage with leading government agencies like NABARD Regional Office, State Directorate of Agriculture Extension, and other relevant institutes like IRMA, etc. In a span of three years, taluka level women farmer producers company, women farmer producers group, community resource persons will undergo a process of strong institution linkages with various financial institutes, technical service providers, input service providers and markets. WFPC will be made very comprehensive in terms of business development, investments capacity and other elements for supporting self sustainability. WFPC will also be strengthened in terms of organizational capacities in order to give them the skills to provide the services to their members and to become properly part of agriculture infrastructure. Also farmer producer company will carryout need based and focused training programmes for women farmers for value addition, agro processing and distant marketing in collaboration with government training institutes. This training programmes would charge reasonable training fees from the participants. The WFPC would also produce and sell a variety of literature in print as well as audio visual media to generate revenue from the sale of the same. Most importantly, once the women farmers organizations and women farmer producer company would get stabilized in a proper manner, a small agro processing unit would be established under the aid of NABARD and other state government schemes. Apart from these, women farmers would be equipped with advanced farming technologies like greenhouse technologies, water use efficiency technologies etc. For this major manufacturing agencies would be approached with a view to optimize the cost of technologies. Adequate marketing of various variety of services to be provided by women farmer producer company would be carried out so as to help women farmers to benefit from the services of company. Efforts will also be made to develop a sense of ownership amount women farmers about the WFPC vis-à-vis it is important to have adequate capacity of WFPC to meet the necessity of their clients i.e women farmers. All important information pertaining to women farmers will be made readily accessible in local languages and in a form that can be easily understood. Thus, WFPC would be able to manage their minimum overhead cost and financial requirements and move towards sustainability. The proposed model of taluka level women farmer producers company, women farmer producers group, community resource persons will take care of the sustainability aspect of the project. Since the project is ensuring sustainability to a larger extant, brighter scopes is there for its future scaling up. A stronger integration with existing agricultural product value chains would be developed. Also increased understanding and appreciation for the principals of democratic governance and transparency will be ensured. Gender sensitization of service providers i.e WFPC would also be carried out, which will ensure recognition of women as farmers and creation of an environment for continuity of processes, systems and interventions. Appropriate M&E system for supporting producer organizations will be developed.


6. Plans aiming at drudgery reduction for women farmers. Women do many of the most difficult farm tasks in India. Transplanting, weeding, harvesting, and post-harvest processing of produce. All of these tasks are time-consuming and full of drudgery. Below are some improved implements and machinery which can help reduce drudgery and physical exertion.

Drylandweeder : This peg-type weeder is excellent for row crops on sandy and loamy soils. It can be operated easily by one person. When the weeder is pushed forward, the drum rotates through the soil and the curved blade cuts the roots of weeds. The weeder has a working width of 15 cm and can Weed about 0.025 ha/hr. It is proposed to provide 5 Dryland weeder for 3 talukas of the project area Khurpa-cum-sickle : The khurpa-cum-sickle is a weeder, a hoe, and cutter all in one. The blade is made of carbon steel sheet. The front edge is used for weeding and hoeing, while the side edge is cured and serrated to cut like a sickle. The serrated edge has a cured length of 12 cm, which is about 60 percent of the length of a normal sickle. The handle is made of seasoned seesam wood. The tool weighs 300 g, light enough for continuous use. It is proposed to provide 10 Khurpa-cum-sickle for 3 talukas of project area. Thrashers : A thrasher is a seed separating and extracting device, which would help in reducing drudgery to a greater extent after the crop is being harvested. The management of thrashers will be carried out through Taluka level women farmer producers company through the farmer resource center. It is proposed to provide one thrasher per taluka. Thus there will be 3 threshers covering 3 talukas of the project area. Chaff Cutters : A chaff cutter is the device which help in cutting roughages and other straws and stalks consumed by cattle. With the help of chaff cutter the drudgery by women will greatly be reduced. Also, this could help in increasing milk yield and thus net return from the milk. It is proposed to provide 6 chaff cutters covering 3 talukas of the project area. The management of chaff cutter will be done by taluka level women farmers producers company through the farmer resource center. Tractor : In order to support the farming and agriculture activity, 3, tractor for each taluka is proposed which can tremendously reduce the drudgery for the women farmers in the project area. Drudgery reduction for women farmers through fuel efficient cook stoves The women in the block have little time to relax due to their dual responsibility; in farming as well as in domestic work. During work days, woman wake up very early in the morning and work round the clock from preparing food to harvesting crops to milking cattle. Introduction of fuel efficient cook stove (using biomass fuel) as demonstration units for 20% of farmers will save time spent and labour involved in fuel wood collection by minimum 50%. Women will get at least one hour of free time daily. The stove will also save them from respiratory diseases arising due to exposure to smoke. Also innovative bio-gas plant using waste have been proposed. About 100 women farmers will be covered under this innovative bio – gas plant component.


7. Plans for awareness generation with regard to “women farmers” rights entitlements under different schemes related to her identity as “women farmer”. Any plans towards enhancing accessibility of land to women farmers.

A block level Farmer Resources Center (FRC) is proposed through which the women farmers will get information on all farmer friendly Govt. schemes and can apply for it with the help of the centre. It is proposed to promote joint ownership of land.

8. Any plans to intervene in value chain development (end–to-end solution) e.g. intervention in

production / processing / marketing? Please also describe how the proposed project will increase market accessibility of women farmers

The Farmer Resource Center (FRC) will be taken on rent so that Women Farmer Producer Company (WFPCs) get a permanent platform for sustainable agriculture. FRC will also be used for keeping and managing drudgery reduction tool, storage purpose. This will also used for training purpose and buyer and seller meet. Farmer Resources Center (FRC)to act as collection centre for agro. produce for further bulk marketing. The centre will be managed by the block level women producer company and will be equipped with digital weighing scale, billing machine, crates, racks, etc. Bulk selling of agro. produce will be done in distantly located Govt. regulated markets.

9. Strategies for disseminating knowledge. Including plans for skill upgradation among women.

Three days certificate training programme for women farmers. A certificate training programme for women farmers has been proposed to equip women farmers for increasing the crop productivity and optimizing cost of cultivation and thereby enhancing the level of farm income. This training programme will be imparted by expert agricultural faculties who have good practical knowledge on improved farming. All major crops being cultivated by the women farmers will be covered under the three days certificate programme. The various farming aspects like choice of crop variety, crop rotation, crop diversification, identification of pest and diseases, irrigation techniques like drip and sprinkler, composting techniques, best farming practices of respective crops will be covered under the certificate training programme. A certificate will be issue to each women farmers on successful completion of the programme. This programme will be specially chalked out for the project intervention area women farmers. The proposed models like food security with economy model and better initiative model will also be part of the certificate training programme. All women farmers will be covered under this three day certificate training programme. Exposure Visits cum awareness building programmes for women farmers for input and output marketing. Under the exposure visit and awareness building programees following areas would be covered :

Pre Sowing farm practices

This would comprise of variety of aspects like selection of crop variety, identification of suitable land, soil testing,

crop budgeting etc, agricultural input supply activities and the like.


Package of practices for principal crops

Under this component, women farmers would be provided an awareness on various farming aspects like

land preparation, sowing, use of pest and fertilizers, irrigation requirement, interculturing, harvesting etc.

training on all farming aspects..right from seed treatment to harvest of the crop.

Post harvest management

This includes aspects like output marketing, value addition and food processing.

Better Cotton Initiative Model through Women farmers : The Better Cotton Initiative (BCI) has been formed to make global cotton production better for the people who produce it, better for the environment it grows in and better for the sector’s future. It is the only initiative of its kind that has mass market transformation as an explicit goal. It has the support of enough leading companies to become the standard for sustainable cotton production in mainstream markets. Globally, cotton is grown on 2.5% of arable land and accounts for 6% of pesticide usage. In developing countries, this figure climbs to 50%. Cotton farming can involve high usage of manufactured nitrogen. This increases the carbon footprint and can have negative environmental impacts through contamination of watercourses. For the people working in cotton farming there are challenges as well. Living in poverty, with high rates of illiteracy combined with the use of toxic pesticides and child labour mean that many pay a high personal price to grow and pick cotton. Following four components would be covered under the proposal : Farmer support to promote enabling mechanisms through

Farm assessment to encourage women farmers to continuously improve the production. Supply chain connecting supply with demand through an identifiable bale of 100% better cotton lint. Tools, guidelines, and learning forums to facilitates the exchange of best practices and knowledge to encourage the

scaling up collective action. Input procurement to ensure…..

Quality…. Demand being in large quantity, special attention be paid by the suppliers Timeliness… Farmers’ requirement being estimated well in advance due to collectiveness, the orders be placed in time and accordingly the inputs become available in time Cost effectiveness…Having better Scope for bargaining with the suppliers, women farmers get better discounts

Under this Better cotton Initiative model it is proposed to cover about 500 women cotton growers in each taluka. Thus for 3 talukas under project intervention areas about 1500 women farmers would be covered under BCI model. It may be highlighted that this would be first such model in BCI, world over, involving only women farmers, boosting their identity as farmers.


SMS – Based Agriculture information sharing services :

In today’s era of communication technology, many women farmer are having access to mobile phones. Apart from their routine communication it is proposed to link SMS – Based Agriculture information sharing services through customized software. Under this services women farmers having mobile phones would be sent SMSs like which verities to grow for a specific crop, information of prevalence of diseases and pest and their remedial measures, which market gives better prices for the farm produce and the like. This services are very useful in case of epidemics when fast communication is required. Since this is an innovative project, it would be planned in a pilot manner. It is proposed to procure necessary software peripherals along with hardware. Customized software will be developed.

10. Plans for increasing access of credit to women farmers and women groups

All the beneficiary women farmers are members of SHGs having bank linkage. Credit from banks for agriculture will be facilitated through the FRCs.

11. Please elaborate on the direct ‘incremental’ income (returns) to women farmers through

proposed project. The incremental income should be sustainable. Proposal may include cash flow projections to indicate changes at the level of project participant, the cash flows will include savings through reduction in costs - e.g. low external inputs use sustainable agriculture, reduced health outlays etc

Following minimum rise in yearly income for a farmer is expected from the proposed intervention; Sr No Particulars % Rupee in lakhs

1 Reduction in cost due to optimum use of agricultural inputs (seed, fertilizer and pesticides)

30 % Per acre

0.02

2 Rise in crop yield Minimum 25 % Per acre

0.06

3 Rise in average crop selling price Minimum 12 % Per Quintal

0.04

Total incremental income per farmer 0.12

4

5 Total incremental income per farmer 0.143

Justification for rise in income is in Annexure-3 The women farming households will save on health expenses due use of improved stove, consumption of home grown fresh vegetables and intake of adequate milk (due to rise in milk yield). The income is going to be perennial due to sustainable farming and integration of supply chain.


12. Plans for community contribution of any kind, be it in-kind or monetary or regular thrift

There is no provision of community contribution towards the project cost. However, all the farmers will have to pay a yearly fee of Rs. 25/-, for using Farmer Resource Centre. A Common Fund (CF) will be created using this money, which will be spent for need based asset creation and sustain the cost of operation, after the project support is withdrawn. A nominal community contribution amount will be fixed for availing improved cook stove and vermicompost unit. Also service charges will be collected for collective marketing services to be provided through FRC. Both community contribution and service charges will be kept in the Common Fund for future use.

3.2 Convergence with MGNREGA and other line departments:

The plan needs to highlight what would be the plan for convergence at the state level, district level and at the level of the institutions of the poor

Yes, we are planning to to convergence with MGNREGA and other line department for various activities like land development, dairy activity etc.

It is proposed under the proposal that 50 % of the project target groups will be SC/ST, landless, small and marginal farmers etc. their proportion of percentage will be :

SC – 18% Other backward classes – 76% Landless, small& marginal farmers – 54%

Apart from this the strategy is also prepared to cover poorest of poor/ most vulnerable sections like land less, PVTGs etc. It is also proposed to cover 600, women headed households emphasis on asset ownership by women, including land. Following many activities are proposed like Support for tillage, Seed Bank, input supply, strategy for aggregation, animal husbandry, contour bunding, irrigation facilities. Women headed household will be given priorities under these category.

So far as the matter of convergence is concerned, that will be done in the following activities like : 1) Contour bunding.

2) Support for tillage.

3) Animal Husbandry.

4) Irrigation Facility.

Further the strategy will also be prepared for their forward and backward linkages :


Backward Linkages :

Input Procurement – Federation at district level will get involve in input procurement

from government, cooperatives and private sectors. The farmer groups at village level will

get involve in micro planning land management in this regard for their women members.

Seed Banks proposed - also preserving bio-diversity

Credit Linkages :

Linkages with Bank & Other Financial institutions.

SHGs and Federations will be linked to these institutions. We already have experience

regarding these linkages in Patan & Kutch Districts.

Linkages with other service providers: such as KVK, Agri universities, and Govt.

agencies for agriculture related extension systems.

Forward Linkages : Linkages will be established with leading procurement agencies from private and government sectors. We already have experience with agencies like TATA, Arvind Mills, NDDB and National Spot Exchange. SMS based information services.

Better Cotton Initiative with 1500 women farmers – first initiative propsed exclusively with

women farmers

6.2 Baseline survey Understanding current state of targeted women farmers like – demographic details, assets, livelihoods

/ incomes, area natural resources (land types, water availability) and agriculture sector (land and crop productivity, current potential linkages, access to finance, current infrastructure, information etc.) 1. Baseline data on farm and households. 2. Productivity, cash crops etc. Data on farm productivity. 3. Household income. 4. Identity of women s farmers

6.3 Endline survey This will be done as per the baseline done in the initial stage and figure out the changes during the project implementation. It will be done in the end of the project.


6.4 Social Audit Social audit is checking and verification of a programme/scheme implementation and its results by the

community with the active involvement of the primary stakeholders. Social auditing is being proposed for understanding, measuring, reporting and ultimately improving PO’s social, economic and ethical performance. It would aim to create an impact on governance by narrowing gaps between vision/goal and reality, between efficiency and effectiveness in social, economic and legal statutory commitments. It would involve primary stakeholders, including marginalized women farmers, whose voices are rarely heard. The key objectives of social audit would be: 1. To enhance local governance, particularly for strengthening accountability and transparency in POs. 2. To carry out participatory assessment of the physical and financial gaps between plans of POs and achievements. 3. To carry out participatory assessment of the reach of services among the members of POs from expected service providers. 4. To increase efficacy and effectiveness of POs in social, including equity, and economic aspects. 5. To develop human resources and social capital by promoting collective decision making and sharing responsibilities To accomplish this, necessary capacity building inputs would be provided to the women members, office bearers & officials of FPOs, NGO staff and CRPs. Necessary sensitization would be done for different service providers. Necessary manual would be developed on social audit in such a form that it is understandable by women farmers. Mechanism would be developed to carry it out on half yearly basis and sharing findings in Executive Committee and General Body Meeting of FPOs. Each activity of the project would be considered for social auditing during the process of implementation. For e.g while forming the women farmer groups it would be tried to make clear that do women consider themselves as farmers in parity with their male counterpart. Are women prepared to carryout improved farming in a compatible manner. Do women realize that they are farm entrepreneurs etc would be inculcated and checked through various ways and means. Also a collective impact assessment on socio economic improvement on women status would be carried out. Also groups of more successful women farmers would be identified and the reasons behind that would be explored, studied and documented. Women farmer groups will also be asked to assess effectiveness of WFPC (Women Farmer Producer Company) in terms of satisfying their need for improved farming. A comprehensive report on overall social auditing will be prepared on half yearly basis and placed before annual general body meeting and various board meetings.

Chapter – 4 : Implementation Arrangements

4.1 : Implementation Plan

a. Elements of Implementation Process : There are not a single elements for the implementation of this project. The major elements of the Implementation processes are Inception phase which consist of individual profiling of beneficiaries, DPR preparation, technical protocol documentation and value chain study. In the same way the other element of the project implementation are mobilization and identification of beneficiaries, institutional development, clustering of the women farmer groups and giving management support to them. Further the major elements are the software part like enhancing the capacity of the women farmers on different aspects through providing training and exposure visit. Then last but not the lease the major and important elements which will act as a survival of the project are community investment support through revolving fund which includes services like SMS based extension services, crop demonstration, drudgery reduction tool, soil testing and providing fuel efficient cook stove and fodder production. Many of these activities will include poorest of the poor community.

b. Project Implementation Plan & Flow :

i. Internal structure for implementation

As we have already proposed various staff for the implementation of the project like there will be CRPs, CMs, Block Coordinator, Programme Officer apart from this other staff of the organization will provide their inputs as required further resource person will also be deputed from time to time so that maximum output can be given to the project to make it successful.

ii. Role of CRP - including knowledge dissemination, monitoring and scaling up :

Community Resource Persons (CRPs) will be engaged on half yearly basis, with performance based incentives for them. Based on satisfactory work performance report from FPGs and FPCs, renewal of engagement contract of CRPs will be done on half yearly basis. The CRPs will share monthly plan (at beginning of a month) and month end activity report in review meeting with board members of women federations (FPCs)as always done in the past, Cohesion will ensure that capacities of women federations, SHGs and CRPs are developed. Care will be taken that CRPs do not consider themselves to be employee of Cohesion. But it would be internalized that they are accountable to women collectives. Monitoring will be done as below :

A sub committee will be formed in the women federation to manage this project. CRPs will report to chairperson of this committee on day to day basis. Review of work of CRP in the federation in monthly meeting and annual general

meetings. There will be total 190, CRPs. He/she will be a progressive farmer from the village will be purely

Capacity building training, exposure visit, seminar and workshop will be done in the second year. Lastly the impact assessment, audit, monitoring and project sustainability will be done in the last and final year. d. Social audit

To put it in a simpler way, social audit can be described as checking and verification of a programme/scheme implementation and its results by the community with the active involvement of the primary stakeholders. Social auditing is being proposed for understanding, measuring, reporting and ultimately improving PO’s social, economic and ethical performance. It would aim to create an impact on governance by narrowing gaps between vision/goal and reality, between efficiency and effectiveness in social, economic and legal statutory commitments. It would involve primary stakeholders, including marginalized women farmers, whose voices are rarely heard. The key objectives of social audit would be: 1. To enhance local governance, particularly for strengthening accountability and transparency in POs. 2. To carry out participatory assessment of the physical and financial gaps between plans of POs and achievements. 3. To carry out participatory assessment of the reach of services among the members of POs from expected service providers. 4. To increase efficacy and effectiveness of POs in social, including equity, and economic aspects. 5. To develop human resources and social capital by promoting collective decision making and sharing responsibilities

To accomplish this, necessary capacity building inputs would be provided to the women members, office bearers & officials of FPOs, NGO staff and CRPs. Necessary sensitization would be done for different service providers. Necessary manual would be developed on social audit in such a form that it is understandable by women farmers. Mechanism would be developed to carry it out on half yearly basis and sharing findings in Executive Committee and General Body Meeting of FPOs. Each activity of the project would be considered for social auditing during the process of implementation. For e.g while forming the women farmer groups it would be tried to make clear that do women consider themselves as farmers in parity with their male counterpart. Are women prepared to carryout improved farming in a compatible manner. Do women realize that they are farm entrepreneurs etc would be inculcated and checked through various ways and means. Also a collective impact assessment on socio economic improvement on women status would be carried out. Also groups of more successful women farmers would be identified and the reasons behind that would be explored, studied and documented. Women farmer groups will also be asked to assess effectiveness of WFPC (Women Farmer Producer Company) in terms of satisfying their need for improved farming. A comprehensive report on overall social auditing will be prepared on half yearly basis and placed before annual general body meeting and various board meetings. e. Development of communication strategy – Best practices

The project is designed to promote opinion sharing session in each phase of intervention. Any

implementation related major decision shall be recommended by a majority of the members

present at the meeting of FPGs and FPCs. For FPGs and FPCs, all standard systems and

procedures related to administration, accounting, audit, etc. would be put in place from the day

one. Accordingly identification of the best practices, its documentation and dissemination will

be done at each stage of the project implementation from time to time.

Here it is also proposed to provide SMS based extension services which will start in the second

year of project implementation.

f. Forward linkage initiatives

Linkages will be established with leading procurement agencies from private and government sectors. We already have experience with agencies like TATA, Arvind Mills, NDDB and National Spot Exchange. SMS based information services.

Chapter - 7 : Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning

7.1 Web based MIS and real time input-output monitoring at various levels: How would data would be collected, entered, analyzed and used for decision making Here it is proposed to prepare a software that will be online through which any data can be accessed anywhere which will be uploaded and updated from time to time about month wise progress, challenges, phasing and its outcome. It is proposed that this online software will be a proof of validity that the task or the activity have been conducted successfully. Any personnel from the government or concerned department can check these information online just sitting in a corner of the office. It will give a rough idea about the activities being conducted from time to time. Due to which any duplication and error can be eliminated at that point only. 7.2 Review Mechanism What would be the Internal/external review mechanisms to be put in place at various levels? Internal Review Mechanisms : Although there will be close and strong coordination with the implementing staff, we will further ensure that no bad practice come out. But still from the monitoring and review mechanism point of view there will be adequate staff that will be deputed like a team 220 CRPs will be there i.e 1 per village and they will report to WFPCs formed at Taluka level. and at the same time 20 CRPs will be there who will report to Block Coordinator, They will be deputed 1 per 11 village. At the same time these Block coordinators will be recruited at each taluka level and they will directly report to Programme Officer. It is planned to have a weekly review meet at the taluka level and one monthly review meet at the HO level. Further an independent team will be deputed from HO level who can make their sudden visit at any time. A system will be developed in such a manner that daily reporting will take place in order to remove any kind of misunderstanding or gap. A “Daily Work Done” register will be maintained at taluka level that can be checked whenever any personel visit from HO level. At the same time care will be taken for accounting point of view also. For that purpose our part time accountant will visit the project area once in a month to avoid any kind of accounting mistakes. If need arise than a training on financial aspects can also be provided so that accounting mistakes can be eliminated. External Review Mechanisms : We are open for this kind of review by any official from concerned government department of state or district level can visit our project site at any time and can get the current and clear picture of the project work.


All FPGs will be trained on record keeping and fund management. All field level implementation activities will be documented by the FPGs, with the help of CRPs. Monthly and annual review of this will be done by board members of FPCs.

To put it in a simpler way, social audit that can be described as checking and verification of a programme/scheme implementation and its results by the community with the active involvement of the primary stakeholders.

Social auditing is being proposed for understanding, measuring, reporting and ultimately improving PO’s social, economic and ethical performance. It is aimed to create an impact on governance by narrowing gaps between vision/goal and reality, between efficiency and effectiveness in social, economic and legal statutory commitments. It would involve primary stakeholders, including marginalized women farmers, whose voices are rarely heard. The key objectives of social audit would be:

1. To enhance local governance, particularly for strengthening accountability and transparency in POs. 2. To carry out participatory assessment of the physical and financial gaps between plans of POs and achievements. 3. To carry out participatory assessment of the reach of services among the members of POs from expected service providers. 4. To increase efficacy and effectiveness of POs in social, including equity, and economic aspects. 5. To develop human resources and social capital by promoting collective decision making and sharing responsibilities

To accomplish this, necessary capacity building inputs would be provided to the women members, office bearers & officials of FPOs, NGO staff and CRPs. Necessary sensitization would be done for different service providers. Necessary manual would be developed on social audit in such a form that it is understandable by women farmers. Mechanism would be developed to carry it out on half yearly basis and sharing findings in Executive Committee and General Body Meeting of FPOs.

Each activity of the project would be considered for social auditing during the process of implementation. For e.g while forming the women farmer groups it would be tried to make clear that do women consider themselves as farmers in parity with their male counterpart. Are women prepared to carryout improved farming in a compatible manner. Do women realize that they are farm entrepreneurs etc would be inculcated and checked through various ways and means. Also a collective impact assessment on socio economic improvement on women status would be carried out. Also groups of more successful women farmers would be identified and the reasons behind that would be explored, studied and documented.

Women farmer groups will also be asked to assess effectiveness of WFPC (Women Farmer Producer Company) in terms of satisfying their need for improved farming.

A comprehensive report on overall social auditing will be prepared on half yearly basis and placed before annual general body meeting and various board meetings. As a part of MIS Documentation and evaluation it is planned to do online database software, third party evaluation will also be done and alongwith video documentary and case study.
