Environmental and Social Safeguard Measures
The purpose of the sub projects is to facilitate an accelerated and sustainable
transformation of Indian agriculture for poverty alleviation and income
generation without adversely affecting existing environment . Some of the
environment friendly interventions are :
• Reduced use of chemical fertilizers, pesticides etc- use of bio fertilizers, bio
pesticides
• Emphasis on natural resource management: zero till drill, laser leveller,
rainwater harvesting etc
• Waste disposal - addressed through waste utilization eg cookies, buns
from pulse milling industry
• Safe use and disposal of laboratory chemical and glassware - All the
materials are handled as per the prevailing biosafety Committee (IBSC)
regulation.
• Emphasis on capacity building

Achievements
What have we done?
Created awareness on improved technologies
Created interest on their adoption
Successfully demonstrated several technologies
Impact study done through their adoption,
diffusion,
Economics analysis done
Capacity building done
Institution mechanisms developed
Potential of these technologies exist
What we need now??
Sustainability of successful interventions at beneficiary
level
Scaling up of these interventions
Ensure availability of critical inputs like seed, fertilizer,
machinery etc
Strengthen market linkages
Bank support to farming community to sustain/expand
their activities
Lessons Learnt
Livelihood improvement is a function of basket of technologies which need
to be critically evaluated; standard procedure needs to be developed
Value Chain approach is essential in maximizing the returns.
Secondary agriculture needs to be promoted. Service providers and
entrepreneurs are required. Trained local youth, with monetary incentive at
initial stages, may be developed for transfer of technology in remote areas.
Livestock interventions give high returns with low investment; risk is low –
door step services needed.
For sustainability of livelihood of vulnerable group, 2-3 years handholding is
required. This section of society would need initial support that may be
tapered.
Concept of sustainability fund helped in ownership of selection of
technologies and its adoption.
SHG mode was better than providing benefits to the individuals as it better
optimized input cost and the gain.
