1. Executive Summary
Financial management is backbone of any business and financial literacy is very important for every
human being. Without financial literacy, it is almost impossible for anyone to manage his income and
expenses whether at household or business. It is equally important for farmers too.
District Lodhran has an estimated population of at least 1,504,000. According to the Government of
Punjabs Planning & Development Department, 50.40% population of the district is living below poverty
line. While 73% of overall population of the district comprises of farmers, one can easily understand that
majority of poor population in the district is none other than farmers.
In district Lodhran, it has been observed that farmers dont have financial management skills and they
dont have understanding and concepts to keep records of their financial transactions. Due to this gap,
they are not able to manage their financial resources effectively and as a result of this they face huge
losses in their businesses. Keeping in view this problem, OPI proposed a project to impart financial
literacy trainings for young farmers in the district. USAID through IOM granted funds for implementation
of the project.
Financial Literacy for Young Farmers / Tenants Project started on March 25, 2013 for a duration of 5
months which ended on August 24, 2013.
Under the project, OPI established a total of 8 financial literacy centers in four union councils of the
district. These union councils are Sumra, Salsadar, Kundi, and Kamal Pur Jatiyal. At the end of the
project, a total of 278 young farmers including 111 females have been financially literate.
OPI also built linkages of the trainees with different banking, microfinance and agricultural marketing
companies / organizations. In this regard, trainees of each Financial Literacy Centers were facilitated for
exposure visits to five different organizations / companies. During these visits, representatives of the
companies / organizations got interactions with the trainees and informed them about different aspects
of their respective businesses.


2. Overview of the Project
2.1 Background
Financial management is backbone of any business. It is equally important for a household, small-
business, and enterprise. Unless finances of a business are managed properly, the risk of loss remains
higher. According to Gail Vaz-Oxlade, Money has some rules attached to it. And if you follow the rules,
youre going to have more stability in your life than if you dont follow the rules. The rules apply equally
on low-income families associated with agriculture and livestock.
Lodhran is one of the most backward districts of Punjab where farmers constitute 73% of overall
population. According to a 2010 estimate, the population of the district is ~1,504,000 which include
more than 300,000 young people between 14 to 25 years of age. According to MICS Survey 2007-08,
overall literacy among young population of the district is 58.9%. According to Bureau of Statistics,
Planning and Development Department, Government of Punjab; more than half of the population of this
district is living below poverty line i.e. 50.40%. Lodhran is one of the districts with highest poverty head
count ratio in Punjab.
Despite constituting the largest part of the population in the district, farmers use to face losses in their
businesses frequently. It merits mentioning here that Lodhran produces 20% of Pakistans cotton.
Traditionally, only illiterate or semi-literate people get engaged in agriculture or livestock farming
businesses. In addition to other causes, financial illiteracy is a main cause behind frequent losses to
farmers. Young farmers/tenants especially suffer in this situation because they also lack relevant
experience as well as financial management skills. Financial literacy may change their lives. It may help
reduce their losses and improve their living standards. By means of financial literacy, young farmers can
understand using credit responsibly, identifying financial risks and benefits of savings, and a better
attitude towards financial planning. Financial literacy will also contribute for reducing family clashes and
conflicts due to financial mismanagement. It will also alleviate poverty in the district.
While many government and non-government agencies are working for farmers training; financial
literacy is a missing component in the case of District Lodhran. This project has established a model for
financial literacy for young farmers/tenants.
2.2 Target Group
The project has targeted extremely poor and underprivileged families associated with small-scale
agriculture and livestock businesses. The project directly targeted young persons (18 to 35 years old) of
those families, who work as farmers/tenants. Female-headed households will be given due priority.
2.3 Number of Beneficiaries
Direct Beneficiaries include 278 young farmers/tenants in target rural areas of District Lodhran,
including at least 111 female and 167 male beneficiaries. Original target of the project was 100 female
and 140 male young farmers but OPI managed to achieve beyond the target.

Indirect Beneficiaries include approximately 1,946 immediate family members of above mentioned
young persons.
2.4 Overall Project Objectives
To help 240 young farmers/tenants in enhancing their earning capacity and reducing losses
through provision of financial literacy training;

financing, account opening procedure, use and
benefits of ATM cards, and details about

3.10.5 Farmers Integrated Development Association
OPI arranged exposure visits to Farmers Integrated Development Association, Vehari a non-profit
NGO working for increasing income of farmers. Visits were conducted on August 21-23, 2013. A total of
280 young farmers from eight financial literacy centers of OPI attended these visits.
Mr. Muhammad Iqbal, Program Manager of
FIDA, welcomed all the participants at FIDA
office Vehari. He told the visitors that
agricultural industry in Pakistan is deprived
despite the fact that 60% of rural population
depends upon agriculture for daily bread and
butter. He said that ever-increasing population,
expanded residential colonies and minimized
agriculture land are bringing us towards a
critical situation of food security. He told that
tunnel farming has been introduced for getting

early production of summer crops especially vegetables. He added that farmers can enhance their
income by getting high production up to 60% more than traditional farming by adopting and promoting
tunnel farming in a country.
After the presentation all the participants visited the kitchen gardening area at roof of FIDA office. The
hosts told that every person should have the right to decide what they eat and to ensure that food in
their community is healthy and accessible. This is the basic principle of food sovereignty. Kitchen
gardening is the part of human culture. These small family plots have been called by a variety of names
over the years: kitchen gardens, victory gardens and the Japanese tea gardens. Mr. Iqbal shared that the
main purpose of a kitchen garden is to provide food for the family. In ancient times, kitchen gardens
were the sole source of food in a mainly vegetarian diet. In the modern era, the kitchen gardens
supplement food budget and provide balanced nutrition in a hurried, ready-made-meal world.
Moreover he discussed about the importance of kitchen gardening. He said, for a beginning gardener
with an average-sized family, a vegetable
garden does not required large space. An area
of 25 square feet should be adequate for this
purpose. He told the young farmers to avoid
starting with a too large space. At this
occasion, the young farmers made several
cross questions about cotton diseases, tunnel
farming and kitchen gardening. Mr. Iqbal
answered all trainees reasonably and
satisfactorily.
The participants also learned about preserving
fruits and vegetables in the form of jam,
achaar, drinks and ketchup. The hosts told the visitors that preserved fruits and vegetables can also be
sold in the market with a higher profit margin.
At the end of the visit, Mr. Ijaz Rasool, Program Manager, OPI thanked to the management and staff
members of FIDA for providing useful information about pest management, kitchen gardening, tunnel
farming and food security and especially for keen interest during question and answering.

4. Case Studies & Success Stories
4.1 Opponent of girls education now wants a girls school in his village
Sahib Yar Khan a 50 years old farmer lives in
Basti Sardar Wali of union council Kundi, Tehsil
Lodhran. He has six children. His major source of
income is agriculture and he is owner of 10 acre of
agricultural land. He is a well-respected and
influential person of his village.
When OPI team visited his village and conducted
orientation meeting with local community, it
immediately agreed for opening a financial literacy
center. Community was very happy and
enthusiastic for opening the literacy center for
female but Mr. Shaib Yar refused to open the
literacy center for female at Basti Sardarwali. He
said that females of his village have no time for
education and it is not important for them. He had
opinion that females only responsibility is to give
birth to children and then to look after them. He became angry upon OPI team and other community
members. Due to his influence, people of the village were not able to pass over him. Sahib Yar also
stopped the OPI team to visit his village again. However, OPI team took it as challenge and continued
their struggle for providing financial literacy to the females of the village.
OPI team conducted a series of one to one meetings with Shaib Yar. After a number of meetings, they
managed to convince Sahib Yar for opening financial literacy center for female young farmers of his
village. Though it was challenging yet OPI team done it through effective mobilization. As a result, Shaib
Yar called a meeting of the community himself and invited OPI team for the opening of financial literacy
center. He helped OPI team for the selection of financial literacy trainer and trainees. A person, who
used to oppose education for girls and financial literacy for women, was changed. OPI established
financial literacy center for young women farmers in his village where 35 women got financial literate.
Sahib Yar now wants OPI to help his community for establishing a school for their girls.
4.2 Amir Iqbal can now calculate profit & loss.
Amir Iqbal is an 18 years old farmer who lives in Basti Matman Wali of union council Kundi, tehsil &
district Lodhran. He is the only son of his parents. He helps his father in agriculture field. Traditionally,
they cultivate cotton & wheat crops and sell it in local markets. But most of the time, they suffer from
losses. He always dreamed of increasing profit through crops and wanted to expand his cultivated land
more and more. But frequent losses kept him and his father unable to attain their goal. One major

reason of losses was their inability to calculate
profit & loss of their crops. Furthermore, they
never kept any record of investments and / or
returns. When OPI team conducted orientation
meeting at his village, he requested the OPI team
to register his name as a trainee. He expressed
great interest in attaining financial literacy. He got
registered as a trainee and attended the financial
literacy center on regular basis. After completing
the three months financial literacy course, he has
now become able to calculate profit and loss. He
has also learnt about different concepts and
techniques for keeping record of financial
transactions. He is now able to manage financial
affairs related to his agricultural farm. Now he can
even keep record of hidden expenses. He was the youngest trainee at Basti Matman Walis financial
literacy center. Now Mr. Amir Iqbal is confident that he will be able to save on input costs and to
increase the profit out of his agricultural land.
4.3 Frequent losses made him drug-addicted.
Rasheed Iqbal is a 30 years old young farmer
who belongs to Basti Matman Wali of union
council Kundi, district Lodhran. He lives with
his parents. His main source of income is
agriculture. He is owner of 3 acres of
agricultural land. He never tried to calculate
the profit and loss of their business. He did
not know how to calculate the profit and loss.
He decided that he will leave the business of
agriculture due to frequent losses. He became
desperate and indulged himself into drug
addiction.
During OPIs orientation meeting with
community at his village, he requested register him as a trainee. OPI team engaged him in financial
literacy center and made him optimistic and futuristic. He looked very satisfied and responsible in day to
day learning at the financial literacy center. According to him, this center brought a revolutionary
change in his life. He learnt the use of ATM card, procedure of taking agriculture loan from banks, and
keeping appropriate record of inputs and outputs of business. After completing financial literacy course,
he has become able to estimate expenditures and manage them effectively and efficiently in a
systematic and scientific way. Financial literacy center was a great source of inspiration and learning for

him. OPI team aims to continue providing support and guidance to young farmers and tell them how
they will increase their profit. It is expected that as a result of such activities young farmers will be able
to maximize their earning through their crops.
4.4 Muhammad Mustaqeem keeps all financial records of his agricultural
business.
Muhammad Mustqeem is 21 years old farmer and
lives at Basti Liaquatabad, UC Salsadar, District
Lodhran. He lives with his parents. He owns 4 acres
agriculture land. He did not know such methods to
calculate his expenditures and incomes. He was
much worried about it. He wanted to learn about
financial management of his business but no
institution was offering such an exclusive course.
When OPI opened financial literacy center in his
village, he got enrolled in it. He attended the
sessions regularly and learnt skills related to
financial management, banking, procurement,
communication, negotiation, and marketing. He
learnt to make budget for agricultural crops. He got ability to estimate expenditures of fertilizer and
pesticides required for the crops. He also learnt about ledger, record keeping and receipt account. After
learning these skills, Muhammad Mustaqeem now maintains proper financial records of his business.
Hopefully, it will help him to increase his income in future.
4.5 Mansab Mai can make budget for her home.
Mansab Mai belongs to Basti Sardarwali in UC
Kundi of Lodhran. She lives with her four children
and husband. She helps her husband in agriculture.
After managing his responsibilities at home, he
goes with her husband and works in agricultural
fields. Though both of the persons work together
for cultivation yet the income earned through it
always remains insufficient to meet their basic
needs. In these circumstances, Mansab Mai always
wanted to make a sustainable source of income for
her family. After announcement of OPIs financial
literacy center in her village, she got registered as a
trainee. After attending classes on regular basis,
she is very happy to learn about record keeping and
maintaining financial records. She says that now
she is able to calculate profit and loss of business

and able to book the daily expenses. After learning budgeting skills from OPIs financial literacy center,
she has started preparing monthly budget for her home in order to overcome the financial problems
through efficient utilization of available money. Her husband is also very happy that his wife is able to
maintain the expenditures of home and agriculture. She shared with OPI that the sessions at financial
literacy center have also enabled her to express her views confidently.


5. Lessons Learnt
OPI team faced following challenges during first month of the implementation of the project.
Social mobilization is a long-term process that needs commitment and continuous efforts. Once
the social mobilizer earns trust of the community, s/he can mobilize the community with less
efforts.
Often the most rigid person becomes your activist if you can successfully communicate your
message to him/her.
Local traditions, cultural values, and religious beliefs must be respected in order to work with
the communities.
Engaging community members for local-level monitoring often helps in improving quality of
activities.
Healthy competitions between villagers / people increase their self-confidence.
Mobilization process requires more time for andragogy interventions.
