Food Security livelihood Promotion

This program is very much unique which addresses food security and livelihood of the BPL category families through Panchayat with a four party agreement (Ahead initiatives,CREFTDA,Panchayat & local organization,Pallishri club). This program is supported by Ahead initiatives, Kolkata as the philosophy of the initiative matches with the vision of CREFTDA and started during Aug.2015.

 

We selected to work at village Bhadu sahi, Talak pokhari G.P of Kusumi block under Mayurbhanj District in a pilot basis as it is a backward and tribal dominated G.P. Most of the families are of below poverty line. The Santhal community is the major dominating tribe here and most of the areas are hilly and terrain.
