Short-term Training Programme in Rural Livelihoods
Having seen the relevance and success of CPRL, Jharkhand State Livelihoods Promotion Society (JSLPS) had approached BRLF to design a short duration customised CPRL for their field staff called FTCs (Field Thematic Coordinators). Subsequently, a ‘Short-term training Programme in Rural Livelihoods’ was developed by BRLF in consultation with JSLPS and some of its knowledge partners.
The main objective of the program is to increase the reach of government welfare schemes and to address challenges in sectors such as education, health, nutrition and innovation in tribal areas, in order to ensure an integrated and focused approach to the socio-economic development of the Scheduled Tribes population in a coordinated and planned manner. Keeping in mind our core competence in the field of CSO facilitation and screening, MoTA has appointed BRLF to carry out a rigorous screening process for shortlisting proposals from different parts of the country on various themes such as education, health and innovation.
Objectives:
The Short-Term Program in Rural Livelihoods has the following main objectives:
Improve the skills and knowledge of frontline professionals of JSLPS, so they can play bigger roles for their organisations in the future.
Equip the field staff with functional digital skills for day-to-day operations
Develop knowledge and skills among the participants related to FPO formation and value chain approach.
Develop an understanding of Non-Pesticide Management, Climate Resilient Agriculture and organic cultivation
Build perspectives on hydro-geological aspects and use of such knowledge for sustainable water security plans.
Impart knowledge and skills related to Participatory Irrigation Management.

Course Design:
The ‘Short-term training Programme in Rural Livelihoods’ seeks to bring together key themes of Rural Livelihoods through five modules of teaching and learning. This course is aimed at improving current knowledge of field staff of JSLPS on contemporary facets of rural livelihoods. The five training modules are as follows:
Sl. No. | Module | Knowledge Partner | Location | Active Learning Days |
1. | Digital Literacy | Digital Empowerment Foundation (DEF) | Ranchi, Jharkhand | 3 days |
2. | On-farm and off-farm based livelihoods in a value chain approach | Yuva Mitra | Sinnar, Maharashtra | 8 days |
3. | Non-Pesticide Management | Preservation and Proliferation of Rural Resources and Nature (PRAN) | Bodhgaya, Bihar | 4 days |
4. | Hydrological Aspects for Water Security Planning | Arid Communities and Technologies (ACT) | Bhuj, Gujarat | 5 days |
5. | Participatory Irrigation Management | Aga Khan Rural Support Programme-India (AKRSP-I) | Netrang, Gujarat | 6 days |
The training is proposed to be delivered in two capsules. The total duration of the course is 26 active learning days with a break of two months in between, after completion of the first 15 active learning days, that is, on completion of the NPM module at PRAN. The proposed batch size is 30.
The first batch of ‘Short-term training Programme in Rural Livelihoods’ with 25 FTCs was launched on 25th May 2019.
