Livelihood
Our aim is to help communities grow by inculcating a sense of initiation and providing opportunities that move towards sustainable transformation.
Ensuring sustainability through knowledge sharing
Yadgir is an agrarian society with 67% of the workforce employed in the agriculture sector.
We work closely with the community to create sustainability in livelihood by adopting and sharing best practices in agriculture to improve productivity and household incomes. In partnership with experts in the field and the Agriculture Department, we share knowledge on best practices, technology and judicious use of water. The Livelihood Program aims to create sustainable livelihoods by facilitating knowledge sharing, access to innovative technologies, improved market linkages, and financial support, adopting best practices to increase household incomes and mitigate agricultural challenges.
Implemented through a decentralized network of Village Resource Persons (VRPs), the program provides farmers with demonstrations on seasonal crop cultivation and water-harvesting methods, while farmers’ groups offer regular training on reducing input costs and optimizing water use.
Technology promotion enhances productivity and lowers costs by introducing the latest farming innovations. By strengthening farmers’ skills, expanding financial access (including credit), and improving market linkages, the program addresses regional agricultural challenges, encouraging farmers to explore markets for higher returns.
“GiriNadu Farmers Producer Company” was promoted by Kalike, providing Agri-related advisories and services to farmers as part of sustainability strategy. 100+ Entrepreneurs identified from local villages and trained on various agriculture and animal husbandry related services to be provided to farmers in the region.
