Alumni of the CPRL course are actively involved with the community and their role has grown crucial in the context of the COVID 19 pandemic. As they worked with the community, alumni felt the need to take a refresher course on livestock management (small ruminant & fishery) to update their knowledge and revise the lessons gained during CPRL. In the course, a module on fishing was also introduced. The idea was to impart the updated knowledge and skills to the alumni in order to help them and their community manage their livestock in the lockout and improve their livelihoods. The WASSAN Foundation was selected as a knowledge partner for this initiative.
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.
The Short-term Program in Rural Livelihoods had the following main objectives:
To develop knowledge and skills among the participants related to market linkage and entrepreneurship.
To understand the best practices for BYP & Fisheries, in the context of fodder and water quality.
To understand technical methods of fisheries for different pond sizes.
To develop knowledge on food-water quality and medicine type, the reason for the death, and vaccination in livestock.
To develop knowledge on starting fisheries with limited resources and budget.
