3. Learning Outcomes: Mahila Kisaan Sashktikaran Pariyojana was launched in Bihar with the objective to improve

the present status of women in agriculture and to provide the opportunities for their

empowerment. The project was abled to cover 93308 women farmers in the span of 3 years

under different agriculture interventions. Also during the time 88902 farmers have adopted at

least 1 intervention mentioned under MKSP. The special focus under the project was to

enhance yield and ensure food security .Still the capacity building & market linkage with

value addition is a big question. Therefore, the project needs an extension of 2 years from

01/04/2015 to 31/03/2017 with some modification in the existing project.

The major changes proposed under restructuring are:

i. Promotion of organic based POPs of vegetables

ii. Promotion of different cropping practices like Inter cropping, mixed cropping &

multilayer cropping to maximize profit

iii. Focus on Community Facility Centers(CFC)

iv. Focus on Capacity Building training through Farmer Training Information

Center(FTIC)

v. Focus on Community managed Irrigation Systems(Solar/Drip/Sprinkler)

vi. Focus on Resource Conservation Techniques

vii. Focus on producer group formation for collective economic activities

4. Rationale for Project restructuring:

4.1 Project Restructuring Details:

MKSP restructuring is proposed with following changes:

A. Remove seed Input Support: It is proposed that the project will create opportunities for all

women farmers to be the part of producer groups. Hence the fund support would be

diverted in to the PG formation & capacity building of farmers.

B. Proposed activities/Interventions:

i. System of Root Intensification in Paddy with 75000 farmer

ii. System of Wheat Intensification in Wheat with 50000 farmers

iii. Cauliflower under Organic cultivation methods with 20000 farmers

iv. Tomato under organic cultivation methods with 15000 farmers

v. Brinjal under organic cultivation methods with 25000 Farmers

vi. Lady’s Finger under organic cultivation with 25000 farmers

vii. Green Gram under organic cultivation methods with 20000 farmers

viii. Maize under organic cultivation methods with 20000 farmers

ix. Potato under organic cultivation methods with 30000 farmers

C. Vermicompost pit promotion

D. Focus on POP by multi tier cropping/ Mixed cropping/Inter cropping

E. Focus on Livelihood Institutions: It is proposed that 300 producer groups would

be formed with an inclination towards market linkage. MKSP will support in

funding the working capital and establish the basic infrastructure.


F. Establishment of Common Facility Center: MKSP would focus on establishment

of Community Implement bank which would be hired, owned and operated by

CLF.

G. Establishment of Farmers Trainings information Center (FTIC): It is

H. Introducing Community Knowledge Center at VO level

I. Dedicated man power for MKSP implementation in each block.

5. Livelihood Initiatives:

5.1 Agriculture technology/Methods:

Agriculture initiatives under MKSP are highly focused on sustainable agriculture

practices which have been disseminated amongst target project beneficiaries with the aim

to reduce cost of cultivation and maintain fertility of soil. Sustainable agriculture

practices like line sowing, seed treatment, proper seed rate, plant spacing, integrated pest

management / i n t egra t ed n u t r i en t management practices, use of organic

fertilizers ,s ys t em o f root i n t ens i f i ca t ion , irrigation water management, etc.

have been disseminated which has resulted not only in the terms of productivity

enhancement but also have reduced cost of production.

System of root intensification for paddy and wheat is widely disseminated resulting in

higher yield and cost cutting in production. SRI, SWI have increased the productivity by

two times and ensured food security for the poor households. Based on the grass root

realities, restructured MKSP is proposed to carry out system of root intensification in

paddy and wheat. Cultivation of different vegetables will be carried out by use of organic

fertilizers, integrated pest management, cropping systems (Multi tier cropping/mixed

cropping/inter cropping).

The project has strong belief to scale up System of Root Intensification in paddy &Wheat

and scale up organic cultivation practices in vegetables, oil seeds & pulses to create

additional income at the level of poor households.

5.2 Market focused Producer Groups:

The restructured project is proposed to focus on collective marketing of agriculture produce

by forming producer groups. The BRLPS has successfully piloted producer group concept

across the project area with the following objectives:

i. To aggregate rural producers into viable economic groups which will have enhanced access to

resources (including financial capital, labour, raw materials etc.) technology and markets on a

sustainable basis;

ii. To strengthen capacities of producers for collective activities and achieve more benefits

through application of all stages of production cycle;

iii. To fund necessary productive infrastructure, machinery, equipment, technical assistance of


on-going activities that increase SHG member’s income

iv. To increase income through introduction of cost reduction, productivity and quality

improvement and risk mitigation approaches; and

v. To establish sustainable market linkages and ensure reasonable prices for producers of the

rural community to gain a better bargaining and negotiating power.

BRLPS has successfully moved a step forward in collective procurement and marketing of

Maize with NCDEX in Purnea district. In the proposed extension of the project, 300 PGs will

be formed in 15 blocks of 9 districts over a period of 2 years and aimed to provide collective

marketing for the major agriculture produce.

5.3 Training and capacity building:

i) Farmer Training & Information Center:

Farmer Training and Information Centre’ (FTIC) is envisaged as one such platform which

provides farmers an opportunity for training, information and learning at cluster level

interactive digital platform. The center will work towards the last mile knowledge delivery

and seamless integration of agricultural technologies & information sources with the needs of

farmers in a particular agro climatic condition. The centre proposes to provide an ICT enabled

infrastructure which aims at strengthening extension and capacity building of SHG members

with locally relevant and improved information on agriculture technology and market. It is

proposed to establish 15 FTIC in 15 blocks of 9 districts.

ii) Community Knowledge Centre:

Community Knowledge Centre is a platform which will provide opportunity to farmers for

training and cross-learning at village level. In order to achieve desired outcomes, an effective

last mile knowledge dissemination and implementation is required by creating local content

and capacity building of farmers which works as the local repository at VO level, stored in

digital form. It is proposed to implement, one community farmer field school in each

producer groups.

5.4 Common Facility Centre:

The concept of Common Facility Centre will be introduced with the objective of farm

mechanization through up gradation of technology for raising agriculture activities. It will

provide farm machinery on rental basis to farmers who cannot afford to purchase high end

agriculture machinery and equipment apart from serving old machinery.

The center will play a pivotal role in introducing high technology agriculture machinery to

poor women farmers with the objective to boost crop production, improve quality of

agriculture operations and drudgery reduction. It is proposed to establish 45 Common Facility

Centres over a period of 2 years.
