Introduction
GREEN FOUNDATION began implementation of Mahila SaShakthikaran Pariyojana
in the year 2012 and has treaded a long way in holistic approach towards rural
women empowerment. Women empowerment encompasses a whole lot of niche
areas which needs to be given priorities. At the beginning of the programme the
proposal looked into inclusion of women in areas like marketing of agricultural
goods, building their capacities as small scale rural entrepreneurs, involvement of
women from seed to seed, reducing their everyday drudgery, active participation in
convergence programmes and building their skills and capacities in land rights,
health, and literacy.
The year 2012 focussed on trainings in various spheres of agriculture bringing in
awareness among the women on sustainable agricultural practices, backyard
kitchen gardens, livestock management, access to government programmes and
convergence.
In 2013 GREEN Foundation left its footprints under MKSP by initiating various
producer groups for value added production and marketing, Drudgery reduction
tools like knapsack sprayers, smokeless chulah have received tremendous
response from the beneficiaries. Activities like Demonstration plot initiated for
900 farmers have once again proved that the sustainable agricultural practices are
beneficial for land, economy, sustainability.
Community Resource persons trained in first year were put on to test through
monitoring of demonstration plots and initiation of permaculture kitchen garden
plots. In the second year of the programme reached a higher platform towards
development of rural women through initiations to producer groups which are
small village level livelihood groups which will produce and sell their projects.
Second year of the programme focussed on programmes which will lead to long
term economic viability and sustainability. The programmes were designed in
