THE LOGOThe logo of BAIF Development Research Foundation (BAIF) endeavors to describe its

purpose of and commitment to sustainable development in rural India. It portrays a

critical natural resource, namely, land (depicted by crops, grass and leaves); it reflects

the usefulness of livestock (exemplified by a cow) which converts straw into milk

(illustrated by two milk bottles); it reveals the importance of agriculture industry

(demonstrated by a wheel) and innovation (shown by a microscope). Finally, it signifies

the resultant prosperity (represented by the petals of a blooming lotus, the national

flower of India). The circumscribing bell resonates with the laudable vision of the

Foundation. The Sanskrit inscription 'Ann Bahu Kuryat Tadh Vratam' denotes 'we pledge

to grow more food.'

Legacy

'.. India is poor because its villages are poor and the villages are poor because its

people are drastically unemployed or are under employed ...'

These words uttered by Mahatma Gandhi had such a telling effect on a young man in

Gujarat that he vowed to dedicate his entire life for improving the lives of millions of

poor Indians living in the villages. This selfless man was Dr Manibhai Desai.

In March 1946, Mahatma Gandhi visited a remote village Urulikanchan near Pune to

establish the Nature Cure Ashram to promote rural upliftment and community health.

The administration and farm management of the Ashram were entrusted to his trusted

disciple, Manibhai Desai who also worked closely with the local farmers, to find

solutions to their problems. He realized that small farmers need support to manage

their agriculture as an industrial enterprise. To transfer the livelihood of the rural poor

across the country, he decided to establish a Charitable Trust and local leaders

extended generous support.

To highlight the need for providing management support to farmers in the form of

appropriate technologies, critical inputs, skills and market linkage, he chose Bhartiya

Agro Industries Foundation (BAIF) as the name of the organization. BAIF was

inaugurated on August 24, 1967 by the –then President of India Dr. Zakir Hussain. In

1988, the organization was renamed as BAIF Development Research Foundation, to

emphasize our focus on development research which calls for transfer of appropriate

technologies along with efficient systems and strengthening of the field network and

gross root level organizations.

In 2017, BAIF has completed 50 years' journey of development ensuring services to over

5 million families spread over 1 lakh villages in backward regions of 13 states in the

country.

BAIF is one of the foremost voluntary scientific organizations of India focusing on Dairy

Husbandry, Afforestation and Environment, Natural Resource Management, Tribal

Rehabilitation and Women empowerment, Holistic Cluster Development, Capacity

building and Climate Change. For more reading about BAIF, please visit www.baif.org.in

BAIF promoted a state society RRIDMA (Rajasthan Rural Institute of Development th

Management) on 30 January 1993 for its operation in Rajasthan. BISLD RAJASTHAN is

BISLD Rajasthan I 02

a professionally managed, non-political and secular organization registered under Societies Registration

Act 1958. BISLD RAJASTHAN is committed to create opportunities of gainful self-employment for the rural

families, especially those disadvantaged sections of Society in Rajasthan, ensuring sustainable livelihood,

enriched environment, improved quality of life and good human values. This will achieve through effective

use of local resources, extension of appropriate technologies and upgradation of skills and capabilities with

community participation. In essence, the purpose of BISLD RAJASTHAN is a reflection of that of its

promoter, BAIF.

From the year 2016-17, all the field operations of BAIF has been shifted to a BAIF promoted not- for- profit

Company (registered under section 8 of the Companies Act, 1956) called BAIF Institute for Sustainable

Livelihoods and Development (BISLD). The operations of BISLD are spread over 4 regions: North, West, East

and South regions. Now, all the programmes of Rajasthan are managed by BISLD- North.

The programmes of BISLD are being implemented across 13 states of India through a team of senior

development professionals and field implementation staff. The operations are spread over the following

Regions:

1. Northern Region – Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Punjab and RAJASTHAN

2. Eastern Region – Jharkhand, Bihar, Odisha and Chhattisgarh

3. Western Region – Maharashtra, Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh

4. Southern Region – Andhra Pradesh, Telangana and Karnataka

The Regional Headquarters of BISLD are located at Allahabad (North), Hyderabad (South), Ranchi (East)

and Nashik (West). The multidisciplinary programmes of BISLD and its Associate Organizations are spread

across 250 districts reaching out to over 5 million families.


From the Deskof

Regional Director

I am pleased to release the Annual Report of BISLD Rajasthan for the year

2017-18. After a developmental journey of its associate organizations (BAIF

and RRIDMA) spanning across 36 years, BISLD has continued a series of

milestone achievements in diversified sectors of rural development.

Establishment of Cattle Development Centers (CDCs), promotion of vegetable

and fruit cultivation, establishment of tribal co-operatives and generation of

livelihood opportunities for the poor families in the desert area are some of

the major achievements of organization.

A new partnership has been shaped up with HDFC bank to undertake holistic

development through sustainable management of agro ecology in 16 villages

of 4 districts in the state. The desert center in Barmer has been providing

services to desert communities by promoting uniquely designed livelihood

model with a combination of rainwater harvesting tank, ber plants and goat

rearing along with empowerment of people. Watershed management has

been also undertaken in Barmer area. This has resulted in increased

availability of water and fodder, scope for vegetable production through

harvested water and good returns through fruits leading to stabilized and

sustainable livelihood of people. Long-standing partnership with Hindustan

Zinc Limited has been helping farmers in raising their farm production over

27% in kharif. Farmers are fetching additional income of Rs. 40,000/- to Rs

45,000/- per annum from Wadi. Livestock development programme has

provided breeding and livestock management advisory services to 3.16 lakh

families through 454 centres. Promotion of household toilets and LPG

connections has benefitted 5000 families in Banswara districts, is also a

significant achievement.

I acknowledge the generous support of our esteemed donor agencies

including Department of Rural Development & Panchayati Raj, Dept. of Animal

Husbandry, Tribal Area Development Department (TADD), Govt of Rajasthan,

National Bank of Agriculture and Rural Development (NABARD), Hindustan

Zinc Ltd (HZL), Nidhi Foundation (Lafarge), CAIRN India, Department of

Science & Technology (DST), Government of India. I appreciate the efforts of

our developmental teams and the partner village communities, people's

representatives at various levels and the district administration in different

operational districts in Rajasthan.

BISLD Rajasthan Programme

A Co-operative is an autonomous association of persons who voluntarily co-operate for their mutual social,

economic and cultural benefit. It is a legal entity owned and democratically controlled by its members. It is

generally ongoing in nature.

A Self-Help Group is a village-based financial intermediary usually comprising 10-20 local women or men. It

typically comprises a group of micro entrepreneurs having homogeneous social and economic backgrounds,

all voluntarily coming together to regularly save small sums of money, mutually agreeing to contribute to a

common fund and meet their emergency needs on the basis of mutual help. It particularly gives a common

platform for women to empower themselves and enhance their social status. It is generally ongoing in nature.

A Committee is a smaller group of persons representing a larger group of persons, organized in a manner to

arrive at decisions after discussions and deliberations within the group.

A Project works with a pre-determined budget and well-defined deliverables. It is generally of a fixed duration.

Training is imparting, upgrading or updating of knowledge, skills (domain and soft) and competencies. It has

the specific goal of improving the capability, productivity and performance of the trainee. It is generally of a

fixed duration; however, the need for training is perpetual and goes well beyond acquiring the initial

qualifications and stays relevant throughout working life.

BISLD Rajasthan is operating following programmes:

1) Livestock based Livelihood

2) Land-based Livelihood

3) Natural Resource Management

4) Community Empowerment

5) Research and Dissemination

The above programmes have evolved as per local requirements, are adaptable in nature and operate

through:

Tree Based Farming System (WADI)

Tree Based Farming System is a very effective model of livelihood for tribal community which was introduced

by Dr. Manibhai Desai in Valsad district of Gujarat in 1980s. Looking at the success of the model, it was

replicated by NABARD and Department of Tribal Development.

What is WADI?

WADI is the approach of tree based farming system focused on family as a unit of development. The system

includes one-acre land aiming crop diversification including fruit plants, forestry plants on the boundary,

vegetables & food crop as intercrop and water management & water resources on farm along with women

development in family.

Purpose:

To promote livelihood through crop diversification

To develop an opportunity to sustain livelihood for

small land holders

Family Outreach

So far 26000 families have been associated with

WADI and 1800 families have been benefitted in

current year.

Benefits:

Avg. Annual income of INR 20000 from cash crop in

initial two years

Avg. Annual income of INR 50000 from fruits and

farm forestry after 8 years

Fuel wood & fodder from forestry plants

Trend of Impact

Total 10000 families have got full employment from

WADI by earning of above INR 50000 per year per acre.

Natural Resource Management

NRM is one of the most important interventions of

BAIF programmes to ensure gainful employment for

rural poor. Interventions like Water Resource

Development, Water Management, Soil conservation,

Pasture development and Roof top water harvesting

are being promoted through various projects in the

state. The constructed structures and water

management systems have significant role in

changing socio-economic status of farmers.

Women Empowerment

Organization believes that family is the unit

of development and woman is the back bone

of any family. There is no meaning of

development without women empowerment.

WADI Tukdi, SHG, Kitchen Garden, Micro

finance, Health literacy, financial literacy and

preference of women-headed families are

successful approaches for favor of women

empowerment. Following indicators are

significant to measure the progress of

current year.

222 hand pumps have been repaired or

installed due to initiatives of women

groups.

175 women have been associated with

Income Generation Activities like goat

keeping, Manihari shops, tailoring,

ROSE BLOOMS AT KAYAD - A CASE STUDY

There is an increasing demand for flowers as flower

has central place in Indian cultural and religious

practices. With this background floriculture was

introduced on demonstration basis in SAMADHAN

project. Rose which is cut flower was chosen under

floriculture based on the ease of marketing of the

produce. Mr. Haridyal is an enthusiastic farmer in

Kayad village of Ajmer district. He was traditionally

cultivating wheat and maize in his farm. He was

interested in trying an innovation and developed a

barren land for cultivation. Floriculture in Kayad was

entirely new where nobody had ever done it even

within nearby villages irrespective of its proximity to

Ajmer District which had demand for roses.

Haridyal spent Rs.30000 in land preparation for

floriculture like land leveling, pit digging etc. He was

supported with good quality 1000 rose plants of

Ganganagari variety in December along with the

technical knowhow as well as an Exposure visit to rose nursery to Pushkar for cultivating roses.

After three months, the production of the roses has started with around 700 plants under flowering. Initially,

the production is around 1.5kg of roses per day per plant which is expected to increase up to 5kg per day in the

coming months as the plants grow. During lean season, roses sell @ Rs. 60/kg and during peak season an

average rate of Rs.125/kg is obtained. It has been estimated that average annual income from rose will be

around Rs.50000.

Haridyal is happy, experiencing the success of the rose plantation and farmers from nearby villages are visiting

his plot where he shares the knowledge on Rose cultivation and now he has become a resource person for

rose cultivation in the village. Seeking the success and the income generated, he is planning to cultivate rose in

another 1000 sq.m. of land. In the past few months visualizing the result of rose cultivation, many farmers

have approached the project team with the desire to cultivate roses.
