In Mirpur Khas, women are gaining valuable skills through courses in embroidery, solar panel installation, electrical work, and sanitary pad production.

These two-month training programs have led to positive changes in their lives, with many now earning income from their newfound skills.

Women with hearing impairments are also participating in this project by Civil Society Support Program.

The goal is to empower women by providing them with the skills needed for a sustainable livelihood.

The training also connects participants with market links, including the Mirpur Khas Chamber of Commerce, to sell their products. This

effort is especially significant in rural areas, where many women have limited access to economic opportunities.

By teaching skills in high demand, the program creates respectable employment in safe environments, allowing women to contribute to their households and communities.

Livestock Development for Sustainable Livelihood of Small and Marginal Farmers

P. C:- Prachi Mishra

Animal Husbandry has been making indispensable contribution to the national economy and socio-economic development in the country.  In rural India where over 15-20% families are landless and about 80% of the land holders belong to the category of small and marginal farmers, livestock is the main source of livelihood.  In the absence of fertile lands and assured irrigation which are controlled by a small population of rich farmers and lack of employment in the industrial and service sectors, most of the rural families belonging to socio-economically weaker sections of the society maintain different species of livestock to supplement their income of the family.  While the land owners prefer cattle and buffaloes, the landless prefer to own sheep, goat and poultry. Especially the women folk in rural areas play a vital role in keeping Livestock as a alternative source of income generation and support of family.  Unlike many parts of India  Purulia District of West Bengal is a low  rain fed area. Cultivation of this district is predominantly mono-cropped. Near about 60 % of the total cultivated land is upland and about 73 % of the total agricultural holding are fragmented smallholding & belongs to small and marginal farmers .  Only 17% of the net cropped area is under multi crop cultivation. Goatry,Poultry,Piggery is one of the major source of income for small and marginal families of this District. So, Farmer Producer Companies in Purulia District of West Bengal, like Bagmundi Sindhri Agro Producer Company Ltd, is encouraging 43 female members of the FPC to keep livestock like Piggery and Poultry and supporting them in Market Linkage.Going into deep we can easily find that from education to Marriage Livestock plays a vital role. But Due to lack of  proper Technical support and  awareness on Livestock maintenance some times it causes heavy damage to rural economy. Livestock is a major industry which can give employment to many rural unemployed youths and provide them proper sustainable livelihood. Government and different line departments should come forward  and encourage this sector so that more young youths get attracted and take it as a profession.

We need boiled eggs every morning at our breakfast table but we don’t want to keep poultry at the backyard of our house because of social stigma.
