From President's Desk
The Year 2014-15 has been a fantastic year for
SUVIDHA's growth and development. Once again the
institution has successfully continued to develop as an
organization and has proved its presence in carrying
out social research for the betterment of the society. The
physical work area of SUVIDHA is in four States across
the country. I would like to brief all our stakeholders
about the activities carried out by the organization in
different States of the country.
Starting from our Uttarakhand state, from where the
organization has come into origin, we are working as
Implementing agency with various Govt Departments.
SUVIDHA is facilitating Department of Forest and
Agriculture in preparing Detail Project Report (DPR) on
watershed management in Pithoragarh, Nainital and
Bageshwar District under Integrated Watershed
Management Project (IWMP) scheme. The
organization has shown its presence in the social
mobilization of vulnerable communities of
Uttarakhand. We have participated in NABARD
supported initiative more than 100 SHGs have been
established. These SHGs are basically meant for
“gender mainstreaming” and focus on promoting
women's livelihood. Most of these SHGs are in Almora
and Bageshwar districts. Presently more than half of its
members have Bank Linkages thus we are facilitating in
financial inclusion. I am feeling proud to announce that
we have initiated our own activities in enhancing the
livelihood of the hill State of Uttarakhand in this
endeavor we have established a Rural Resource Centre
(RRC) in Binta. A handloom unit in District Almora at
Village Binta has been established which has a capacity
to give employment to 20 women and adolescent girls.
Odisha State has empowered us enhancing our
capacity in Organic farming, under the National
Horticultural Mission (NHM) supported by Department
of Horticulture, Government of Odisha. The present
project “Promotion of Diversified Organic Farming in
horticultural crops under RKVY and NHM in 4350 Ha
Area” is a successful continuation towards direction
which is implemented in five district of Odisha namely
Cuttack, Jajpur, Balangir and Kalahandi under the age
is of Directorate of Horticulture, Odisha and
implemented by SUVIDHA on behalf of The Odisha
Agro Industries (OAIC) Ltd., Bhubaneswar, Odisha.
SUVIDHA is successfully accomplishing the specific
objectives of the project that are to motivate farmers
from modern conventional agriculture to organic
farming by adopting organic management practices
for the control of insect pest, diseases & weeds;
improving soil health by application of FYM, Vermi
compost and Bio-fertilizers based on soil analysis.
Adoption and introduction of appropriate organic
production technologies such as crop rotation,
intercropping, mixed cropping, applying green
manure, guard crops, mulching etc. leading to the
sustainable production system and to establish market
linkages for certified organic produces and value
added products.
SUVIDHA feels pride to announce its successful
completion of Project in Jammu and Kashmir, which
was facilitating organic farming in 300 Hectares area.
The state Directorate of Horticulture provided the work
order for the implementation in two districts, i.e.
Poonch & Rajouri in 2012-13. SUVIDHA feels pride to
achieve all its targets and objectives of the project with
496 farmers registered under organic farming
adoption and certification program covering 300
Hectares. The project ends this year with the issuance of
Organic Certificate.
In Chhattisgarh SUVIDHA continues its work with
Government of Chattisgarh on the project of Adoption
& Certification of Organic Farming in 835 Ha. under
National Horticulture Mission (NHM).
2014-15 has been another fantastic year for our
activities in Fair Climate Network (FCN). This year we
were engaged in Capacity Building programs. Our
Climate team and specially the Field staff are
undergoing through rigorous trainings on
Communication and Information Technology
Overall, the year 2014-15 was a period of great
enthusiasm and developmental growth that not only
made SUVIDHA and its staff motivated and confident
but also induced them with a renewed form in their own
capacities and also making them feel more attached
and owned towards SUVIDHA.
Last but not least, I would like to extend a big thanks to
all my staff, partners, patrons and stakeholders across
India and overseas for your endeavor and never ending
support in continuously making the organization
deliver its best.

From the very first step, SUVIDHA has visioned its
programmes and activities through a thought of
improving livelihood before securing present livelihood
conditions of the marginalized people. If the
community is presently struggling to meet the urgent
basic needs of their families, their immediate
participation in the program is quite unfeasible unless
we provide solutions for their present aspirations
essential for living. With a focused aim of improving
livelihood conditions of the marginalized farmers
activities from promoting organic agriculture and
ensuring certification of organic produce and
establishing cooperatives and Self Help Groups (SHGs)
for marketing such items as well as developing Farmers'
Interest Groups (FIGs) and conducting capacity
development activities in the field of organic farming,
beekeeping, poultry raising, animal husbandry and
other allied activities are carried out. Presently
SUVIDHA has established more than 260 organic
grower groups. Programes include watershed
management, water and soil conservation and
biodiversity. Women's empowerment gender based
activities and addressing issues concerning child health
and education is another programmatic area.
Emphasis continues to be laid on bio-pesticides,
traditional methods of beekeeping with scientific care,
promoting local medicinal and Ayurvedic plants, off-
season vegetables and developing low cost poly-
houses. Most of these activities and programmes are
geared towards sustainable farming methods to ensure
livelihood and income generation.
VisionStriving to be the global leader for
sustainable management of natural resources.
MissionTo support the livelihood and well-being of farmers and rural
community through natural sustainable organic agriculture and
allied practices that serve, honour and protect Mother Nature

Sustainable agriculture integrates three main goals,
environmental health, economic profitability, and
social and economic equity. These goals have been
defined by a variety of philosophies, policies and
practices, from the vision of farmers and consumers.
While the need for a paradigmatic shift in the growth
strategy is well recognized, the transition from input
intensive to sustainable farming however, has certain
inherent difficulties. The sustainable agriculture may be
defined as any set of agronomic practices that are
economically viable, environmentally safe, and socially
acceptable.
SUVIDHA is working in the field of Sustainable
Farming from last 10 years. Key functions by
SUVIDHA:
ü Improvement of existing production systems (e.g.
altered crop rotations, introduction of green
manure, and use of plant species adapted to
specific locations.
ü Improved protection of natural resources (e.g.
erosion protection)
ü Increase in efficiency of existing resources (e.g.
irrigation, use of technology, basic and advanced
training)

An important characteristic of the livelihood
improvement approach is its way of solving issues not
by introducing foreign systems and technologies, but by
skillfully using the limited resources available to
improve people's lives. Under this approach, the
problems that needed to be solved were identified, and
the rural residents took possession of the activities to
devise and implement solutions.

2. Livelihood Improvement of Adolescent Girls
and Women in Disaster affected area of
Pithoragarh District:
The entire world knows about the Himalayan flood that
devastated the major part of the upper Himalayan
landscape, the four valleys including Vyas, Chaudas,
Darma and Jauhar spread across Dharchula and
Munsyari tehsils of Pithoragh and other parts of this
region. These regions are still highly sensitive to the
natural calamities. The effects of the devastation will be
felt for a long time. People will have to pick up the
pieces and start anew. Fields that their ancestors
cultivated have disappeared; other moveable and non-
moveable assets have been washed away. Two and a

Micro Planning of Van Panchayat, CAMPA :
In association with Department of Forest, Pithoragrah,
SUVIDHA undertook the work of preparation of the
Mic ro P lans o f 64 Van Panchaya t s under
Compensatory Afforestation Fund Management and
Planning Authority, CAMPA In the reporting period.
The main purpose of the study targets the Van
Panchayat system and examines forest management
via the question to what extent have local institutions
successfully achieved sustainable forest management
The main objectives of the Micro Planning were:
1. To understand the Social, Economical and
Geographical situation of the Van Panchayats.
2. To study the Natural as well as Man Made
resources of the area, which can be restored,
rehabilitate and constructed and can be managed
in an optimum way.
3. To s tudy the possibi l i t ies of L ivel ihood
opportunities in the villages and how they can be
brought forward.
SUVIDHA went through brain storming Participatory
Rural Appraisals, PRAs in order to achieve the
objectives of the Project in the reporting period.
SUVIDHA's climate team has been active the whole
year. Weather SUVIDHA's presence as a team in FCN
or it was being a partner for Biogas construction with IC
India.
Ü Trainings on Climate Change: Talking about
the Climate Project under FCN, SUVIDHA staff
attended several Trainings in form of TOTs
(Training of Trainers) and Sub TOTs in order to
enhance their capacity and capabilities and
getting grounds more strong for starting the
Project which is still in the pipeline. The trainings
are being given on improving Communication
and Information Technology which is an
integrated part of the FCN Project.
Ü Local Stakeholder Conference (LSC): was also
conducted in the month of February 2015 in which
a whole lot of stakeholders were invited across
Uttarakhand. It was a brainstorming session with
local bodies and end users explaining the Project
“PRAYAS”. End Users from three districts, Nainital,
Almora and Bageshwar attended this LSC and
tried to understand the concept of Climate
change, its effects and what can be done on their
level to mitigate the effects. Also complete
information on Biogas plants and Fuel efficient
Wood stoves were given in the conference.
Ü Project Design Document (PDD): SUVIDHA is in
process of formation of its Product Design
Document for the “Prayas” in the current reporting
period. It is describing all the details of
technologies (cook stoves and biogas), selected
methodologies, estimated amount of annual
average GHG emission reduct ions and
description of project activities.
Ü Registration of Project "PRAYAS" Under The Gold
Standard Foundation:
Ü With the main aim of enhancing climate resilience
and quality of lives in rural households in
Uttarakhand through deployment of clean energy
technology in the form of biogas digesters.
Ü The use of biogas plants is helping to reduce the
consumption of wood as a fuel and thereby
reducing carbon emissions. But it is not only
carbon emissions that are being reduced; but
substantive socio-economic benefits to the
community.
Some of the major trends noticed are:
Ü Reduce the amount of fuel wood used for cooking
and will replace inefficient traditional cooking
stoves with cleaner biogas stoves.
Ü Substantial decrease in degradation of forests in
and around the forest area
Ü Increase in Carbon sequestration in these forests
Ü Reduced methane emissions in paddy fields by
applying biogas slurry instead of un decomposed
farm yard manure
