1 Report Goat Rearing

2 PRADAN has been participating in DPIP Rajasthan in two districts Dholpur and Dausa through two decentralized Project Facilitating Teams (PFTs) of professionals. DPIP s focus is poverty reduction through asset creation and undertaking income enhancement activities suitable to the area and the participating farmers. DPIP provides subsidy to group of poor for undertaking income enhancement activities of their choices. In DPIP s parlance these groups are called Common Interest Groups (CIGs). PRADAN organizes poor women in the villages into Self Help Groups (SHGs) as an organization strategy. These SHGs are facilitated to undertake saving and lending activities. When the SHGs are six months to one year old and have matured in dealing with savings and lending activity they are linked to bank. As well they are assisted with livelihood activities of their choices. These SHGs are treated as CIGs by DPIP who provides financial assistance to these groups. The emphasis of DPIP remains on developing individual and small group assets and skill training to the participating families. It is assumed the other issues e.g. support services including backward-forward linkages, attitudinal changes in people s mindsets, etc. would happen on its own. To expand and sustain large-scale activity for poor people in areas where the economy has not developed, requires investment in creation of (or linkage with) common physical infrastructure which is suited to the context, institutional mechanisms to run them and development of manpower that is competent to provide support services on a sustainable basis. Unfortunately this has not been the focus of DPIP, and almost no resources have been allocated for this purpose. Similar is the situation relating to demonstration of possible alternate livelihood avenues to create confidence among poor families that they too are capable. The Project objectives under the grant are: Development of comprehensive livelihood prototypes suited to the local context, building on the support available under DPIP for basic infrastructure at the family level, Demonstration of some new locally suitable livelihood avenues to build confidence of both the community and DPIP officials and Banks on the viability of the activity, Promotion of necessary institutional mechanisms for providing backup support to the livelihood activities. Advocacy with DPIP, Bank and related government department for adaptation and scaling of successful demonstrated livelihoods activities Dairy Buffalo rearing in Dholpur and cow rearing in Dausa have been initiated under dairy activity, which includes inducting & rear improved breed of milch animals, adopting best management and rearing practices, vet services at door steps and support for marketing of milk. Animal induction: Animal procurement season stats fro August and continues till December. There fore most of the animal procurement will take place in next half of the year. However 131 women were assisted for procuring animals. Dausa team has helped the women members of CIGs to induct cows where as Dholpur team has helped to induct buffaloes. The purchasing conducted by CIG members (women in support of male folk) in technical support of government (dairy union) and PRADAN veterinary doctor and overall facilitation of our professionals. The sale and purchasing of milch animal is a well-developed trade in Haryana since most of milch animals procured from Haryana by private dairies, government sponsored or other programme of many states. There are many seasoned brokers who have to be dealt with in procuring the animals. It has been a difficult experienced to undertake animal purchase for women and equal number of their male folk with cash when they were flocked by many brokers around them. It is almost impossible to get right animal at right price without involvement of these brokers. There were cases when seller changed calves, our beneficiary identified wrong animal etc. Copyright - Shodhana Consultancy Pvt. Ltd. Visit us at 2

3 More over it has been almost impossible to test milking three times in places like Karnal, where villages are quite far from city. Rearers of these villages do not like that our beneficiary should stay back with them. Beneficiaries have to stay back at Karnal and up down to these villages till they get right animal. Rearing and Management practices: 37-orientation trainings and 5 Post induction trainings were conducted for the rearers. Improved practices includes proper feeding (green fodder, dry fodder, concentrate, mineral mixtures, UMB etc), watering (at least three times a day), and replacing place of feeding and staying, keeping in shade etc. Poor feeding and rearing practices lead for low production, repeat breeding, and cases of anoestrous. It takes time for the rearers to adopt proper them. Animal insurance: The project has introduced an informal insurance system like the goat rearing acting. Members pulled together Rs 100 per cow/buffalo per year and provide partial assistance to the rearers in case of animal casualty. The system is run and administered by their informal federation Saheli Sangathan. All the inducted animals have been insured under the informal system. So far to the tune of Rs two Lakh has been collected and Rupees fifteen thousand have been disbursed to the affected rearers. Animal Heath care: Cases of inbreeding and anoestrous have been turned out to more causing the animal unproductive and is leading to losses to rearers. The project is planning for Artificial Insemination (AI) for cases of inbreeding since rearing of bull is difficult and costly. Pregnancy diagnoses of cows have helped rearers and have been carried out as a regular activity. Milk marketing: At Dausa the producers are selling milk to District Milk Cooperatives Union of Rajasthan Cooperative Dairy Federation (RCDF) as well as private buyers. In summer producers got good prices (up to Rs 12/ lit). Largely rearers getting reasonable prices where as some them are not. At Dholpur some of the dairy groups are helped with milk procurement through a hired vehicle and collected milk are poured in the RCDF s chilling unit. This is a stopgap arrangement. The project is negotiating with Mother Dairy for procurement on a sustainable basis through promotion of milk Producers Company (PC). The arrangement will be operational in December The plan for Dausa milk producers under the same arrangement is planed of next financial year. Veterinary support: Veterinary doctors along with paravets provided veterinary care to the animals. The Veterinary unit has been undertaking animal health check twice in month. Since rearers were not undertaking de-warming regularly the unit now started regular de-worming of animals, where rearers pay Rs 150 for each milch animal for a year. Rearers started paying costs of regular health check of Rs10 per month per cow/buffalo. The project has planned to provide AI facilities to the animals. AI training will be provided to the paravets, who will be equipped with required AI infrastructures. At Dausa around 80 emergency cases for retention of placenta, dog bites, serious of diseases, H.S. FMD, blooding in urinating etc attended by the veterinary doctors. Dholpur district- its topography and climate: Dholpur is located on Agra- Gowalior highway 60 km from Agra. The Arravali ranges continue till Dholpur town. There are two main rivers Chambal and Parvati separated by Arravali hills. Presences of Arravali ranges affect the topography, demography, resources and livelihoods. Topography of Dholpur district project villages can be classified into three typologies: 1. The Chambal River is famous for its ravines. It separates Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan. Ravines move parallel all along the Chambal River. The villages in the ravines are most difficult both in terms of access and living. The lands are highly undulating and erosion prone. Agriculture fields in the lower valley submerge in rainy season due to floods in Chambal River. The soil is sandy loam, productive and has sufficient depth. There are 10 target villages are from this region. Copyright - Shodhana Consultancy Pvt. Ltd. Visit us at 3

4 2. A plateau of Arravali hills, consists of hillocks, valleys, undulating stony terrain, with thin soil cover (0 to 2ft) locally called Daang. This Daang area is in upper catchments of the Chambal and the Parvati Rivers. This spreads across Dholpur, Bari and Baseri blocks in the range of 5-25km in width and spread. Most of the part comes under reserve forest, having good vegetation cover. The region is full of stones quarries that used for building construction. Stone mines are virtually everywhere. Connectivity is poor. 23 target villages are from this region. 3. The Parvati River region consists of middle and lower catchments of the Parvati (a local perennial River). It has good soil depth, productive, sandy, sandy loams soils; bore wells as we move far away from Daang area. The area is the mainly agricultural and buffalo rearing area of the district. Rest 96 villages are from this region. The district falls under semiarid zone. The climate varies from very high temperate (up to 50 degree centigrade) in summer to coolest (up to 5 degree centigrade) in winter. The rainy season is from July to September. The districts receive mm average annual rainfall. The Communities in Dholpur: Major communities are Gurjars, Thakurs, Meenas, Kushwahs, Jatavs, Brahmins, Goswamis, Mallahs, Muslims, Kohlis, and Dhobis etc. In general Thakurs, Brahmins (General), Gurjars (OBCs), and Meena (ST) are well of and dominating communities. The Mallahs, Kushwahs (OBCs about 10 % of total population) are poor and backward communities and spread in clusters across the district. Kohlis, Dhobis, Muslims and Jaatav etc (SCs and minor castes; about 25% of total population) are the poorest and the most socio economically vulnerable castes. Livelihood sources and the present status in project villages in Dholpur district: Agriculture and livestock rearing are the main source of the livelihood of the people. Agriculture is dependent on the monsoon (rain fed agriculture), which is erratic and unpredictable. Parvati and Chambal river of Dholpur is causing high erosion with undulating land, which are neither levelled nor bunded properly resulting in low productivity. There are traditional rainwater-harvesting structures like paals/ taals. Those are either damaged or defunct due to lack of maintenance. Majority of farmers are marginal and small. Rearing of milch animal is the second largest livelihood. Wage labour is another source of livelihood for the landless and small farmers who go to near by cities, Bari and Dholpur. People migrate to Agra and Delhi for wage earning. Stone mining (both legal and illegal) is wide spread and employment is available in winters and summers. Livelihood interventions scope: Promotion of SHGs with women Copyright - Shodhana Consultancy Pvt. Ltd. Visit us at 4

Promotion of horticulture and tree plantation and cultivation of fodder development Develop animal husbandry sector Small scale Poultry farm as Jaipur, Gowalior and Agra have a large market Revival and creation of rainwater harvesting bodies paals / taals Agriculture intervention to improve crop productivity 3.1 Current interventions of the team: A. Organisation at the grassroots: Women from poor families are first organised into Self Help Group (SHGs). These groups are formed around affinity and the primary activity, which they are engaged in, is Saving & Credit. These groups also provide a platform for the poor women to come together, share problems and jointly plan for a better future. In due course these groups are transformed into platforms in which better livelihood options are discussed and intervention are launched. As in other project locations this remains PRADAN s core strategy for intervention in Rajasthan. DPIP provided an opportunity for poor families to access significant volume of funds for livelihood interventions. To access these funds the teams have promoted Common Interest Group (CIGs). The members of these groups are primarily drawn from the SHGs, and are organised around interest in a particular livelihood activity. In many cases, CIG and the SHGs are synonymous, especially in Dausa and Dholpur, where all members of the SHG are interested in the same activity.

We visited the village in morning hours at a time when most of the farmers are suppose to be in their farm. However due to lack of rainfall most of them were at home. Hence when we visited it did not take much time for both men and women to assemble in large number for the meeting. Due to traditional binding women in Rajasthan are not use to speaking in front of men folk. However they seem to be quite vocal during the discussion inspite of their men folks being present. The SHG is named as Kaila Devi Mahila Bachat Samiti having 14 members contributing Rs. 10/- per week and which was established in the year Discussions centered around the SHGs not getting loan from the bank due to some defaulting members. Most of the members present including some of the men stated that why other members should suffer when they were contributing and repaying their loan sincerely. They were unable to create any pressure on the erring member which was further de-motivating the other members. Copyright - Shodhana Consultancy Pvt. Ltd. Visit us at 18

The total number of group formed is 63 out of which 62 are under the DPIP Programme. 48 groups received fund during the first phase. The dairy project of Dausa has inducted a mixed group of providing one cow and one buffalo to each family. This was done keeping in view that the period of milking in cow is longer than that of buffaloes. Also due to the pattern of milking of buffalo being similar it becomes difficult for a family to get income round the year. The method of mixed induction of the animals seems to have caught all amongst the members. The total amount released in the Dausa dairy project was Rs lakhs excluding the people s contribution of Rs lakhs. During the first phase 45 groups were formed where 479 cows were inducted. In second phase there were 23 groups formed with 243 buffaloes being inducted. Animal management training was provided to 45 groups and 14 post induction training were conducted. Altogether 7 paravets have been trained who are currently available for services to the villagers.
