diseases. Our team has met approx 657 Fuss of different villages of such locality and
discuss in details the reason of there involvement of FSW . There story is very much
pathetic & heart touching and few of them started weeping too. They told us that as and
when they wanted to make contact with working places for livelihood their worth. The
poverty has left no option but to accept their demand our programme has made them so
alert that in no case they are entreating any of customer without condom.

PROBLEMS FACED :-

Lohardaga area is boxite field area. There are many people working in boxite Mines.
More than 21000 men and women working in our areas . Most of them are labour and
truckers. The most of labour are T.B. patients due to boxite dust. There are an aware of
STI and H.I.V. we are doing Awareness Company among those people. The next
problem we are facing is that there is no LT from ICTC and so we are unable to send the
HIV and STI patients to such Centers.

FLORICULTURE DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM IN DHANBAD DISTRICT

(Chief Minister Of Jharkhand Sri Sibu Soren with Agriculture Minister Sri Mathura
Prasad At our Floriculture Center, Gobindpur Dhanbad)

Floriculture Development and Flower production has been identified as one of major
income generation activity in Dhanbad district under SGSY scheme. Gap between
demand and supply of flowers is main reason for selection of floriculture as one of
leading income generation activity in district. Despite of favorable water, soil and
climatic condition and huge market demand, there is no commercial production of flower
is happening in Jharkhand state. West Bengal is catering the demand of flowers in
Jharkhand state. Sellers from W. Bengal are selling lower quality flowers in high rates.
With lots of analysis and survey, DRDA Dhanbad in Chairmanship of Deputy
Commissioner Sri Ajay Kumar Singh (IAS) has been decided to take Floriculture as one
of leading Income Generation activity for rural people of district. Society For Integrated
Development (SID) an NGO has been selected for implementing this floriculture
development project in district. NGO has been authorized for doing all the related activity
like selection of beneficiary, formation of SHG, Linkage with Bank, Skill Development
training, procurement of loan and subsidy , cultivation activity and marketing
arrangement. It has also been decided that group of SHGs will form a registered Producer
Company and all business will be done under flagship of company. With all these
conditions Floriculture Development project has been started in District. The project has
been divided in two parts, 1. Cultivation in polyhouse and 2. Open Cultivation. District
administration started this project in Gobindpur, Tundi, Topchanchi and Baliyapur block.
Society For Integrated Development is implementing this project in Gobindpur and
Topchanchi Block. Initially District administration provided complete constructed
polyhouse with irrigation system in 2000 Sq.m of area in Gobindpur Block. This project
has been started with 12 SHGs (mostly woman based) in Gobindpur.
 There is provision of skill development training of SHG members under this program. 34
SHG members including male and female went to Horticulture Training Center (HTC),
Talegaoun, Pune, Maharastra for advance training. HTC is known as best training center
in India for floriculture. It was great experience for villagers. Till date total 166 SHG
members from Gobindpur and Topchanchi block got training at Gobindpur Floriculture
Center located at Gobindpur by best faculties from Birsa Agriculture University. Bank of
India, leading bank of district decided to finance this project and sanctioned loand of Rs.
25 Lakhs under SGSY scheme which includes 50 % subsidy from DRDA. Initially Bank
gave Rs. 5.75 Lakhs. Planting material worth Rs. 3.75 lakhs invested for purchasing of
rose and gerbera planting material and planting material purchased from Banglore.
Cultivation practice started in month of January 2009. Mainly two flowers Gerbera and
Dutch Rose has been taken for cultivation in this polyhouse. In the month of Apr 2009 a
Producer company named as Gobindpur Flower Producer Company Limited, under
company registration act has been registered for doing floriculture business.SHG
members are directors in this company and they take the final decisions. Entire process of
this project is new and innovative, and this program creating impact upon villagers. Now
they have started feeling, empowered and influencing other villagers to participate in this
kind of govt. sponsored schemes. Villagers do their banking operations by themselves.
Flower came out in the market for sale in the month of May and afterward it has started
changing lives of associated SHG members. Now SHG members have been started
earning money from this business and also started making repayment of loans. Main
objective of this program is to provide average sustained monthly income of Rs.4000 per
SHG members in next 3 years. SHG members are convinced that this program will
change their life and financial necessities. Till date approx, flower of worth Rs. 3 Lakhs
has been sold and approx Rs. 2 Lakhs has been distributed among SHG members. All the
SHG members are also having personal account and they receives money via cheque.
District administration has also recognized the success and impact of this project and
sanctioned 3 more floriculture project for Gobindpur, and planning to make a floriculture
hub in Gobindpur and authorized SID to take over the floriculture project in Tundi block.

It is estimated that now approx 650 SHG members will be associated and benefited by
Five units of Polyhouse and open field cultivation. Out of which 4 polyhouse is located
in Gobindpur and 1 in Topchanchi. And all these SHG members will also take members
ship of Gobindpur Flower Producer Company Limited and all business will be done
under this Producer Company only. District Administration is providing infrastructure of
worth Rs. 1 crore 80 thousands, as Polyhouse and irrigation system. One unit in
Gobindpur is already working successfully another unit in Topchanchi and Tundi is about
to start and three units are under construction in Gobindpur. Another Govt Employment
Scheme NREGA is also supporting these projects. For fulfilling water requirements for
open cultivation pond construction under NREGA is proposed. Gerbera and Roses are
already producing in Polyhouse. Carnation, Gladulious, Tuberose, Marigold, Erica Palm,
and few other flower crops will be taken in other units. Cultivation in open field is also

Rural Business Hub (RBH) project on Lac in Bundu block, Ranchi

In a partnership of a national level NGO Udyogini we are implementing RBH project

funded by Ministry of Panchayti Raj, Govt. of India. Rural Business Hub (RBH) project
we have targeted the women in particular and family in general. Like most of the tribal
area Bundu also has the patriarchal form of society where women are not supposed to
speak in front of male counterpart. As far as socio economic condition is concern they
have the access over the resources but don‟t have their control over them. Illiteracy and
lack of awareness due to very less exposure to the outer changing world makes their
situation more vulnerable. Female drop out and early marriage of girl child is quite
prevalent in this area. Most of the time they are engaged with their male counterparts in
fields supporting the agriculture activity and during lean season and free time they are
engaged with their house hold work such as collection of fuel wood from the forest and
other family activities but ironically not in any “productive activity”.

The project has already included a private industry partner M/s „Sri Gopal Shellac
Industries Pvt. Ltd.‟ with formal M.o.U prior to the execution of the project. The industry
partner is helping the producers by giving fair prices to the producers compared to the
local market prices. It is also assisting the local service providers built by SID to
understand the local market, its need and technical knowledge on the selection, sorting,
grading & storage of the produce thus bringing in a great value to the community.
„Society for Integrated Development‟ has organized various meetings with the
rural women to make them aware about the Rural Business Hub project. Various
motivational meetings at village level as well as Gram Sabha level have been organized
and the actual project and the business plan has been shared with the women and after
that 54 Self Help Groups (SHGs) having almost 850 women were formed. The idea was
to bring the women under the umbrella of Rural Business Hub and “handing over the
stick “to them for making them the anchor for their own sustainable development
through cultivation of Lac. In order to ensure a better road map and clarity of outputs to
be chased, a Strategic cum Business Plan has been developed by the team with the help
of the intern from the Duke University. The team is currently following the same plan to
track its performances and also to check the alignment with the road map drawn in the
plan.

The entrepreneurs at the village level are incubated and supported to help their business
grow by selling of Lac as output and seeds; equipments etc as input. However, to ensure
an organic structure, these village level centres interact with a central structure created as
Rural Business Hub acting as a focal point for all inputs & outputs. The RBH interacts
with the outer market to ensure better prices & with institutions for quality & effective
support. The community putting the maximum pie of the investment in the interest makes
it a pro-producer‟s initiative.
Currently we have created three VLCs during the pilot phase of interventions in three
different villages i.e. Gambharia, Bhurkunda and Lotehatu villages of Gambharia
Panchayat to check the sustainability of our new supply chain model. These VLCs have
been equipped with the necessary equipments related to Lac cultivation such as secateurs,
weighing machines and spraying machines. The equipments are been lend on rent basis
with the proper recording system. The idea is to check the misuse of these equipments
and create a reserve for its maintenance.

All these VLCs are linked with their respective SHGs groups and the members of the
SHGs were mobilized to sell their produce at their respective VLCs. In the previous
season, the produce of all these VLCs has been collected at one place i.e. aggregation
centre and then it was collectively sold to our industry partner i.e. Sri Gopal Shellac
Industries Ltd. Although the concept of collective marketing was a new thing for the
villagers but after witnessing the change in profit they are now eager to replicate the same
model in all the 12 villages of project.
The end profit after meeting all expenses and keeping a small reserve from the first round
of transaction has been equally distributed among the producers (SHG members). A part
of the profit has been shared with the 3 BDSPs anchoring the VLCs. The same model
would be replicated to remaining 9 villages during the next cycle of crop i.e. October –
June (2009 – 2010).
The operational systems help the structure to work as a single unit bringing-in more
discipline & accountability. The model envisages ensuring better prices to producers by
checking high adulteration in the chain apart from fraudulent weights & measurements.
The enterprise ultimately will shape up as a Producer‟s Co. to ensure higher scale &
profitability. It helps the small traders get involved earning reasonable profits and the
industries for procurement of non-adulterated quality produce.

A model of the new value chain being implemented for Lac is shown above. Key
highlights of the new model are:
 Bringing together of the community by building Self Help Groups (SHGs) and
village Level Center (VLCs)
 Mobilizing women at the SHG level – all members of the SHG are women.
 Leverage economy of scale both at the village and block level – the produce of the
entire village will be aggregated at the VLC level and produce of all VLCs will be
aggregated at cluster level.
 Enable value addition practices such as processing of chauri at cluster level,
since they are unaffordable at the individual level.
 Establishment of standard measurement practices
 Provision of owning equipment at the community level. VLCs will provide this
equipment to the residents of respective villages.
 Prepare entrepreneurs in each village by developing the concept of BDSPs at the
VLC level.
  Establishment of a community owned, controlled and managed market that
enables smooth information flow and fair prices at all level

In the later stage of the project the cluster will be linked with micro-finance institutions to
access production loans. VLCs will be tied to the cluster as they will access loans through
the cluster. After establishment of the system and processes, a producer company will be
registered to take care of production and marketing operations on commercial mode and
to bring the ownership in the producers. Through the VLCs and clusters, the producers
will be linked directly to the wholesale traders and the intermediaries operating currently
will be replaced by an organized production and marketing operation.
