The Dalmia Bharat Foundation (DBF) has undertaken the ‘WADI’ project in association with NABARD. The project aims to strengthen the value chain in tribal development and boost the financial growth of families of 38 villages under Rajgangpur and Kutra panchayats.
Through the initiative, farmers have been organised to form committees in every village, and set up a Farmer Producers Company by bringing 500 farmers together. Over 420 beneficiaries will receive assistance in mango and cashew plantation on 420 acres of land while 80 beneficiaries will be provided assistance in apiculture.
Commenting on the undertaking, said Chetan Shrivastav, Unit Head, Dalmia Cement Bharat Limited, Rajgangpur, said, “Our partnership with NABARD and the ‘WADI’ model of tribal development goes a long way with successful adoptions in West Bengal and the North East region. We now look forward to extending these synergies in Rajgangpur and Kutra, with a core focus of empowering tribals to lead a sustainable livelihood.”
DBF is expediting various programmes under NABARD’s ‘WADI’ project in a bid to make farmers financially independent. These include soil conservation, development of water resources, women empowerment through Self Help Groups (SHGs), training, skill development, income-generating programs such as goat farming, pig farming, poultry, apiculture, earthworm rearing, community nursery etc. The project includes health awareness and health check-up camps as well.
