I. Nature Of Activities:
CARE was registered in 2009 as non-profit voluntary service society in Guntur district, Andhra
Pradhesh, South India. CARE was a need based awakening by a group of like-minded people to
help the needy in times of urgency; especially the rural areas and natural resources’ conservation.
Guntur and nearby districts’ socio-economic and educational conditions were so backward and
had never experienced voluntary service or any of such development facilitating support as of the
other places in the district Guntur. Seeing the much rearward conditions of the people and the
areas, we thought and decided to support the people and the areas through a process of
participatory aspects – CARE and rural people-collective works for own development. Thus
since inception focusing on rural issues conducting studies and finding condign solutions to
address them, CARE and facilitating development opportunities in a holistic and sustainable
way. Thus CARE has a mission, which is to capacitate and facilitate the rural people of all
categories to have actions among themselves for their own development and to protect the
environment that CARE never kept away and forgotten throughout these all years of its struggle
for rural people’s development. That’s the guiding principle and motivating factor for CARE to
go forward even in its financial constraints to free the rural people from their own bondage of
ignorance, inability and misfortunes.
CARE since commencement productively carries out various activities/programmes/projects in
the areas of Forestry and Environment, Eco-restoration, Skill Development, Establishment of
Cottage Industries, Awareness creation on life basics, Research & Documentation in rural issues,
Rural livelihoods, Child Welfare & Rights, Agriculture, Health & Sanitation, education,
awareness creation on Acts/Rights etc. CARE intimately works with line departments, Govt.
Agencies/organizations/departments and many and other likeminded voluntary institutions and
well-wishers/social activists etc. The CARE has now a strong network of local NGOs, 600 CBOs
it has formed and nurtured 250 wide children and women networks. The CARE invites voluntary
partnership in its all activities and projects from NGOs, CBOs, Children and farmers.

III. DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECT/SCHEME IN DETAILS
Like Veldurthi, Macherla, Rentachinthala, Guruzala, VP South, Sirirgiripadu, GV Palem,
Yerragondapalm, Dornala GPs and Mandals of Guntur and Prakasam districts have 34 villages
closely knitted to the Wild Life Forest Division of Markapur Reserve Forest Division and close
to the Core areas of NSTR Tiger Reserve Project areas. The AP Government and Wild Life
Management have directed and declared these areas are the inviolate critical wild life and
especially tiger areas in the NSTR. Agriculture is the mainstay of economy and occupation for
these villages, but due to various reasons it became fribble and non remunerative posing a threat
to the income and livelihood of these villages of which majority are tribal hamlets. Hence in the
midst of the employment egence, exigent means of living, and declined agro-based income, they
sought livestock rearing as an alternative income source or more obviously a hopeful source to
eke out a living.
The villagers whether landed or landless and small or large ruminants maintain huge folk sizes,
despite the major issue of fodder availability and development at village common land or own
land. And as the agro-residues which contributed major portion of fodder needs, remained at a
halt due to less investment in agriculture. For this reason, the livestock rearers of the aforesaid
forest fringe villages depend for the most part of fodder needs on forest which is also a home for
various herbivorous fauna. Notwithstanding the grazing restrictions on forest land, the villagers
follow grazing on forest land, since it is the promising source of livelihood option for them.
Also the livestock rearing communities are resource poor and CPRs and Grazing lands are also
less in these 34 villages. Thus, over-grazing on forest land by ruminant rearers grounds for
desertification and degradation of the forest eco-system and environment.
The Forest Division also gets pressure by migratory livestock from neighboring places other than
the fringe villages Kadappa and Kurnool districts. It is a heart paining thing that the indiscreet
action of villagers burning the forest fringes in fake belief that it would increase fodder growth;
but it destroys and kills the tree saplings, seeds, various small living creatures, different flora,
medicinal plants and sometimes even cubs. So there is a need to exhort and create proper
awareness and to provide alternative or permanent solution to the fodder problems the
participants not to engage in any deeds that cause degradation, destruction and changes to forest,
bio- diversity and environment, for they are there living, and so we are here living.
Hence, seeing the forging balance among the three important realms Livelihood, Livestock and
Environment; CARE has conducted a sample survey coordinating VSSs, VSs, EDCs to know the
source of fodder availability for livestock on CPRs (Common Property Resources), forest, own
land, the number of livestock depend on the forest and the extent of pressure they originate on
the forest.
Knowing the disquieting pressure, forest land degradation, environmental/ecological threat in
the Wild Life Management (Project Tiger Reserve) posed by the over grazing, and inconsiderate
works of the rearers (that they cut down branches of particular tree or undergrowth for fodder
needs, owing to the short of the grass in the forest land and for their own easiness); and the non-
cultivation of grass and less agro-development the village lands are barren and waste causing a
threat to environment, hence CARE proposes this project, with expert guidance, cooperation,
linkages, condign activities & strategies and possible ways and means, to solve the forging
balance between Livestock, livelihood and Environment.
2:1. The Survey Details and Findings:
Problems and causes
As per the Survey, for the 34 forest fringe villages of Veldurthi, Macherla, Rentachinthala,
Guruzala, VP South, Sirirgiripadu, GV Palem, Yerragondapalm, Dornala GPs and Mandals
forest is the prime source of fodder for 267007 livestock out of the total 303668 small and large
ruminants contributing 82% while the CPRs 2% and Own land 16%. It also reveals that there is
no cultivation of fodder by small ruminant rearing villagers, though they resort to maintain large
flock sizes and even by the landed large ruminants too. Despite the fodder availability-the matter
of livelihood for 60% population-being an importance problem, no specific efforts are being
carried out.
� The Majority Villagers who rear livestock are landless poor
� Though most of the ruminant rearers (small) are resource poor they maintain large folk
sizes
� Less availability of Common Proper by Resources for fodder needs (especially for the
landless ruminants)
� Total ruminants’ dependency on forest is a large extent of 82% while CPRs’ and Pvt’s
fodder contribution for livestock are only 2% and 16% respectively.
� Livestock rearing is the prime source of Income & Livelihood for 60% Resource poor and
the 10% marginalized.
� No common efforts or work out of suitable mechanisms to develop fodder production in
Pvt. or remaining CPR lands.
� Common Property Resource lands are being increasing ally privatized by individual
interests and Governments through policies aimed at re-distribution to the landless,
� No initiatives to establish fodder development in CPRs, Pvt and Revenue waste lands
� Inability to seek cooperation and help from all concerned Govt. departments/for fodder
Production
� No planning and knowledge to develop and manage resources available at village level duly
planned & utilized to fill up the fodder requirement gaps.
� The lack of milk yielding lack of developed or improved breeds lack of nutrient feeding that
may reduce the fodder consumption less
� Lack of awareness on livestock development and protection (feeding, etc) and variety
breeds
� Non access to the nutrient value fodder seeds and present shortage of fodder availability.
� Less availability of health care facility for livestock at villages.
� Non utilization of suitable scientific methods for livestock development.
� No government programmes in favor of goat rearing while it is lucrative for the rural poor
� Dependence on small ruminants is high for the forest dependent communities belonging to
VSSs in the arid and semi arid forested regions, as the availability of Non Timber Forest
Produce is low in the forests allotted to VSSs.
� Goat rearing is an important source of livelihood for women, dalits and landless backward
communities
� Among small ruminants, goats are preferred as it is rather easier to rear them
� The large ruminants are owned by the landed class. It has also been observed that the
numbers of livestock are more where VSS forests are mere scrub jungles and are incapable
of meeting the fodder requirements
� Financial implications to buy fodder and no stall feeding methods
As there are no initiatives to address the problem of fodder availability though it is the major
problem that affect a large section of population and the forging balance between livestock
rearing and environmental & forest land degradation, we are moved in spirit to contribute to the
same on to bring a stop to the excessive desertification of the forest eco-system and to provide
significantly increased livestock-based income to the landless forest dependant and livestock
rearing community.
The Problem & Cause Chart
Fodder procurement from other areas by livestock owners
Apart from the dependency on forest resources for fodder requirements, the rural ruminant
rearing community is forced to buy fodder from other districts/places for high prices that are
unaffordable for them. It shows these areas’ fodder scarcity that goes even beyond the fodder
availability from forest, causing the extent of land degradation far beyond of our thinking.
2:2. The extent of problem and status of grazing lands
In Andhra Pradesh State, the Panchayats (local governance institutions) were provided with
common lands for the purpose of grazing. The Panchayats were expected to maintain and
manage such lands. The village maps (known as “naksha maps”) contain the details of the
location and boundaries of such lands. However, most often these lands were left unattended

and/or encroached by the neighboring land owners. In quite a few locations, “pattas” over the
lands were also given to the landless, by the Government.
The fodder needs in such situation are being met - i) by sending the cattle to the nearby forests
,thus contributing to forest degradation, ii) by growing fodder and/or using crop residues by the
landed class. The unproductive cattle of landed class, the cattle of landless have to depend
completely on the nearby forests which are already degraded. In recent times, the Andhra
Pradesh Government took initiative to distribute cattle to one lakh persons belonging to landless
class and the process has been initiated at some places. This may add further to the existing crisis
related to fodder.
Community Forest Management Programme
The CFM programme which is mandated to safeguard the livelihood security of forest dependent
communities has not paid much attention to the needs of small ruminant rearers on the other
hand the interventions taken up were aimed at regeneration and productivity enhancement which
put restriction on grazing. This further enhanced the problem by creating intra VSS conflicts
among different communities.
Rural Development (RD) Activities & Fodder
A study conducted by the rural development department of the Government of Andhra Pradesh
revealed that many RD programmes induced rural people to invest on small ruminants and out of
Rs.150 crores dispersed to the rural areas, Rs.85 crores went to small ruminant development as
revolving fund. But unfortunately most of it is spent towards purchase of more animals rather
than production of fodder or management of community forage areas. In view of such situation it
was mentioned that emerging challenges are – i) decreasing availability of fodder and increasing
numbers of small ruminants, ii) land degradation due to over grazing among other factors and iii)
development interventions that discourage fodder regeneration (eg: promotion of large scale bio
diesel plantations)
Animal Husbandry Department
As per the Joint Director of Animal Husbandry Department, the department’s focus is mainly on
improving the health of animals. It has been noted that small ruminant rearers have little access
to land resources and that their situation has exacerbated as irrigation projects encourage
conversion of more lands to agriculture. Lack of coordination and conflict of interests among
different departments make it difficult to work on fodder development. It has been emphasized
that the need of the hour is to put in efforts to work together and improve the condition of
existing grazing lands and safe guard the livelihoods of small ruminant rearers. It has also been
learnt that the Government of Andhra Pradesh proposes to introduce a scheme where 100000
milch animals will be distributed to the poor under the PM/CM (Prime Minister/Chief Minister)
package.
Andhra Pradesh Forest Department
The State Forest Department’s view on the subject can be summarized as under:
• Grazing used to be controlled and managed in the State until 1968, but the drought in that
year made the Government to lift the control and the forests became open source
resources for grazing till to date contributing to degradation of forests
• Over the years (since 1966), the sheep population in AP has grown by 167% and goat
population by 67%, with increasing number of poor taking up small ruminant rearing as a
preferred livelihood option, but the forest area has remained more or less finite with
decreasing fodder production capability year by year.
• Retrogressive ecological succession has set in the forests, with good palatable fodder
species overtaken and replaced with less palatable and low nutritive fodder species and
weeds.
• In spite of both National Forest Policy 1988 and the National Forestry Commission 2006,
advocating regulated grazing in forests with the participation of communities, no
comprehensive grazing policy is being followed in Andhra Pradesh today.
As the aforesaid factors and information shows there is notable increase in the number of
livestock and there will be over increase in the number as Govt. programme and the promising
source of livestock based livelihood and income. But it also shows that despite the limited
availability of fodder, no effort is being initiated from any of the concerned department for the
same. And so it needs to be treated seriously with urgency or else, the ignorant ruminant rearers
will depend on forest for fodder that is pernicious action exacerbate the decertification and
environment threat
2:2. The criteria/justification in selecting the G Ps and the innovations and benefits the
Programme would contribute
The GPs and the villages for the Fodder Generation & Management programme have been
selected mainly by considering the socio-economic and environmental features and the
impacts/benefits the project ensures as a whole and the foremost of such points are as follows:
Beneficiary reach out
� Beneficiary Reach out; people – marginalized & landless, scheduled, resource poor, and
forest dependant
� Beneficiary Reach out; GPs/villages – fodder scarcity, exceeding livestock, forest fringe,
less availability of crop residues, hamlets (near to forest), CPR’s contribution is very less,
non cultivation of fodder or such initiatives, livestock rearing as imperative source of
livelihood & income, they that cause more pressure on forest, migratory areas, they that
cause the process of forest degradation etc.
Social features/characteristics
� Gender-women
� Caste-scheduled castes and tribes
� Other backward sections
� Domestic problems (in connection with shrinkages of livelihood, and income etc)
Economic factors
� Poor
� Landless
� Low income
� Mainstay of income on livestock
� Livestock rearing as only the known option for income (livelihood)
Geographical factors
� Drought prone watersheds and that are degraded due to overgrazing forced by the less
availability of fodder
� Common Property Resources available, but in waste, but have good access to develop
for fodder development
� In future development of watershed initiatives and livestock income for the marginalized
and ruminant rearing communities.
� Potentials to develop fodder in Grazing (CPR) land Pvt. Land.
� Grazing un managed common land and forest land that poses soil erosion and
degradation
� The village common grazing lands as other resource that can be controlled for the use of
fodder development.
The project impacts on environment/ecology (forest & villages)
If we select/work, the areas that can bring/contribute:
� Restoring the changed balance between livestock, environment and livelihood
� Lessening the excessive forest desertification so to the forest ecosystem improvements
� Reducing human health issues related to livestock
� Establishment of agro-forestry in villages that contribute to the villages’ environmental
improvements
� Contribution to the conservation of forest and bio-diversity
Other common factors
The village and people that shown interest:
� To bring out Financial Assistance for land development and fodder generation and
livestock development - linkages with concerned departments and utilization of ongoing
programmes like APREGS, WD, CFM, IKP, AHD, DWDA, and DRDA.
� To mobilize and sensitize the ERs for resolutions to get Govt. lands for Fodder
Development and Management
� To take responsibility to own up the programme and promised all possible help and
cooperation for the programme
� In contributing or separating their own land for Pvt. Nursery/fodder development
� Offering private sector involvement in the process of fodder generation and management
On the light of the above given context, there is an urgent and compelling need to strike a
balance between forest conservation and livestock based livelihood for the ruminant rearing
community.
2:3. What the Project will do
Stated the above problems, root causes and blows, the proposed project will focus on the
following areas with given activities to accomplish the objectives of the project that will in turn
contribute to the impacts; the restoration of the balance between Livestock Livelihood and
Environment. The project proposes to reclaim the 2044.3 acres of grazing land under Grama
Panchayaths, to facilitate the establishment and management of suitable agro-forestry system by
the communities through Fodder Management Committees which will be constituted and
nurtured as part of the intervention. The Grama Panchayaths (Officials and Elected
Representatives) will be sensitized to pass resolution to this effect.
The Fodder Management Committees will be formed with representatives from the community
groups such as rearers, SHGs, VSSs/EDCs, Panchayath members, Watershed committee
members, Sheep & Goat rearers, farmers with large ruminants etc. Also initiatives would
suitably be undertaken to identify, the CPRs for fodder generation/production and to
sensitize/orient (other than grazing land like Revenue waste lands, hillocks etc) the landed large
ruminant rearers and non – livestock rearing communities also to manage resources of fodder
development, separating at least 10 to 20 cents of their lands. (Ongoing programmes like
DWMA, APREGS watershed etc)
On reclamation of Govt. grazing land, suitable mechanisms would be applied to raise nurseries
of improved grass varieties (that can cope with drought, water scarcity) through coordination
and linkages (as shown below) with FMCs, CBOs and local NGOs and Government Departments
(ongoing programmes like DWMA, Watershed, APREGS etc), for distribution to develop fodder
of in CPRs and Pvt. lands. On transferring and building technology and capacity, will be
established proper agro-forestry in all project operational areas that would make sure the fodder
necessities available at local level without depending on the forest land and importing.
Thus the project is to reclaim the Govt. land meant for grazing needs through advocacy and
lobbying to pass resolution to this effect by the GPs and to facilitate the establishment of suitable
agro-forestry system by the communities through the formation of fodder management
committees for balanced environment/ecology in both forest and villages and tenable livelihood
and promised income source for tribal, landless, forest dwelling and marginalized population.
The summarized project attempt:
• Bringing in convergence between different concerned primary (village level) and secondary
stake holders (concerned Govt. Departments)
• Enhancing capacities of communities in developing and managing natural resources for
meeting fodder requirements
• Harnessing of experiences on methods and approaches for sustainable management of fodder
resources for mainstreaming
2:4. Project Strategy
� Awareness creation and sensitization programmes towards the formation of effective multi-
stake holder group to focus on fodder generation and management and achieve overall plan
by planning and mobilizing resources.
� Linkages Advocacy & Lobbying in bringing convergence between deferent concerned
primary (village level) and secondary state holders ( concerned Govt. Depts.) for reclamation
of grazing land support the pilot increasing fodder & addressing concerned needs of Small
ruminant rearers
� Capacity building & facilitate transfer of technology to FMCs (Communities) in developing
and managing natural resources for meeting fodder requirements.
� Networking local NGOs, CBOs and other Resource Organizations to have effective
implementation and micro-planning for livestock based livelihood at filed level through
coordination and information sharing and to facilitate appropriate inputs needed towards the
sustainability of the programme respectively.
� Harnessing of experiences on methods and approaches for sustainable management of fodder
resources for mainstreaming and institutionalizing the approaches and FMCs through Govt.
programmes, academies etc….and Grama Panchayaths.
2:5. Role of Communities
As the title of the proposed project exemplifies, it is a project completely beneficial for the
communities-forest dwelling, dependant and landless that it could be implemented through
community participation only; being owned, they should be effective members in planning,
executing and implementing. With different activities the community would be mobilized,
trained and prepared to contribute (in kind) to these effects Contribution in kind collectively to
raise nurseries in reclaimed Govt. lands.
The Fodder Management Committees, that we will be formed as the main intervention of the
programme will be in a position of being owned up the programme and continue the initiative
further producing the result up to the expectation of 100% result in the future. It would be made
sure throughout the project period with various activities to make them understanding the
necessity of fodder initiatives for the benefits of the villages, forest & bio-diversity conservation,
environment and their own benefits.
• Utilizing land outside forest and grazing and all locally available resources for to be
targeted for fodder development
• Small ruminant rearers need to think of ways to sustain individually not just as
communities
• The land preparation and initial raising of the nurseries, will be done by the communities
(Fodder Management committees; voluntary works)
• The FMCs will organize all village level monthly meetings meant for the sustainable use
of land, reclamation, awareness creation, sensitization for contributing Pvt. Lands for the
generation of fodder etc.
• Mobilize and sensitize the ERs for resolutions to get Govt. lands for Fodder
Development and Management
• Facilitate the establishment of agro-forestry or Pvt. Fodder development initiatives in
farmers own land (sensitizing them to have fodder cultivation at least in 10 cents of land)
• Sharing their experience and taking advises from CARE for fodder generation and
management in both Govt. & Pvt. Land
• Proposals and recommendations initiated for submission to APREGS for proper inputs
and support for land & fodder development.
• Seeking linkages for the availability of variety or improved fodder seeds/stems that may
survive in the drought
• Being capable they also on the quest for the improved breeds availability at an affordable
price for all ruminant rearers through linkages with Govt. Departments and sensitizing
the ERs (as to their opined vision shared in the village meetings)
2:6. Environment Impact of the project
The Project “Multi stakeholder ownership initiative for Reclamation of Grazing Land and
establishment of Agro-forestry for Livestock, Livelihood and Ecological Balancing” is a project
conventionalized and designed seeing the excessive decertification of the forest eco-system and
the need rose on the forging balance between livestock rearing and environmental degradation
and the threat to the livestock based livelihood in the contest of fodder scarcity. And in order to
contribute to the conservation of the forest, to balance the environment, livelihood & livestock
that would help the eco-system & better health to both forest and villages, we proposed few
activities that mainly to be carried out by the local areas or communities.
Up on completion of the programme, the forest pressure for fodder needs will be reduced, thus
the severe stress on the forest ecosystem and accelerating desertification would also be aloof. As
the livestock dependency on forest become less it increase the capacity of the forest for wild
animals and the forest regain the natural factors and health. As people (people- forest dependent
and other fringe villagers) and livestock do not enter the forest, the habitat for the wild animals is
not being disturbed, yearly burning of the forest by people will no more be continued (it is a
common thing that the villagers burn the fringe areas of forest during summer in fake believe
that burning will increase the growth of fodder) and accordingly it helps to save a variety species
of medicinal plants, the tree saplings, seeds, various small living creatures, different flora, and
sometimes even cubs; so to bio-diversity and natural forest’s development. Thus, the natural
forest and un-disturbed eco system make sure the environmental improvement of the forest that
would definitely help the global environment impact positively through this small local initiative.
The CPRs, Revenue hillocks, un-cultivated & agro-waste lands, and even cultivable land (due to
agro failure) too are barren in all proposed project areas now. And as one of the main
intervention of the project, these lands and the other private lands (the 10 cents of lands from
villagers mentioned in this AF)) too, will be changed to agro-forestry lands or pasture lands with
proper SMC works. These agro-forestry lands generate green villages that in turn contribute to
good environment of the villages and thus this local initiative to the Global Environment Impact.
2:7. The possible availability of main factors/components needed for the project
implementation
• Reclamation of Grazing land - It is a Right of ruminant rearers, for it is being given to them
by Government
• Fodder varieties or improved grass seeds – Departments/organizations of the concerned lines
(both Govt. & Pvt.) are ready to give with subsidized price or occasionally free of cost
• Inputs for fodder generation and management (Physical & Financial) – APREGS, DWMA,
CFM, WD, IKP and FD-SF and etc. departments have programmes that comply or par at this
need to fill up with for the rural and scheduled areas.
• Scientific inputs and technology (including the health care of livestock) – AHD, CPF, CALPI,
FOREZ, PAR and other organizations could be approached for the same.
• Harnessing, mainstreaming and institutionalizing the approaches, FMCs – As it is of diverse
benefits in socio – economic – environment of the rural communities and villages, capacitating
and functioning them as public bodies, it can be institutionalized
As we are experienced in implementing related projects for the last two years, we also could
impart technical guidance and we have resource persons capable in this regard.
2:8. Sustainability of the project activities
The project sustainability and; that how the mechanisms proposed or adopted to achieve the
project goals and objectives are given below in charts:
CARE and Multi-stakeholder Group
As shown above the, the pilot will initiate such an approach throughout the project period that at
enhancing coordination and dialogue between key Govt. players, NGOs and FMCs and
providing information and facilitation support has increased understanding and knowledge
among the Committees (FMCs); all will work out suitable mechanisms for sustainable use of
lands (Private & CPRs) for fodder production in convergence initially; and later on the
completion of the 30 months project period the FMCs will own up the programme and will
continue the programme initiatives.

2:9. Scientific and Technical Content
The main areas Scientific and Technical contents required for the project implementation
are given below:
• Technical training need to FMCs on Biomass Estimation
• Scientific approach needed in selection, planting, and nurturing the fodder seeds,
stems or blocks etc.
• Scientific Awareness Creation need to the villagers on Environmental and
Degradation etc.
• Technical guidance and training needed on fodder nursery, soil & moisture
conservation works
• Awareness creation on Preventive Health Care, Breeding etc…necessary for the
Small and Large ruminant rearers
• The Concept of Agro-forestry; silvipasture and hortipasture
For the aforesaid Technical and Scientific contents needs, we proposed in this proposal
various Linkages & Advocacy efforts with efficient Non-Govt. Departments and organizations
and more evidently with concerned Line Departments by transferring technology to the FMCs
through exposure visits, training programmes, awareness creation meetings etc. And as we are
experienced in implementing the same project and having Resource Persons, we could also
contribute to the gap in S & T contents needed for the project implementation.

2:11. Networks/ Links with Government / Line departments / scientific institutions/
academic Institutions and other agencies, etc.
In implementing the proposed project physical, financial, scientific and technical inputs are
essential hence as shown below the Linkages and Networks will be established during the project
period. In establishing such a wide network and linkages CARE is in good touch with
Departments, Organizations and Institutions among which we are already in good rapport and
implement few of our ongoing programmes. The Govt. departments AHD, FD, Revenue,
DWMA, IKP, MMS and all have their own special budget (not direct initiative to support fodder
generation) and programmes related with the areas of initiatives that we proposed to address in
this project to support the fodder development programmes such as land development works
(CCT, Staggered trenches Jungle Cutting, Land Development, Continuous staggers etc.) and
domestic animal welfare programmes and rural development or livelihood supportive
programmes. As mentioned in Point No. 13 C “Justifications of the project” the Departments’
programmes can be brought towards contributing to this project through proper advocacy &
lobbying. More clearly, as the related programmes are not in favors of the ruminant rearers
presently due to various reasons (political and departmental perfunctory etc) we can direct and
propitiate them to contribute to the project benefits. The other Organizations and Research
Institutions mentioned will be approached for condign inputs needed for sustainability and
success for the project. We are already in contact and in network with such high profiled
Institutions that deal the works or resources transferring that comply with our Scientific &
Technological needs or they are working in the same field of fodder generation and management
or NRM related or Agro-forestry related resources. And our experience in this regard that we
gained could also be used and the relationship or linkage formed for the last two years with all
Govt. Line Departments, Scientific or Academic Institutions are added advantages for us in
helping establishing such a strong and effective network/linkages with them. In reaching the
GPs and needy ruminant rearers we will have good networks with local CBOs too.

2) OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES:
Goal of the Project
The Programme focuses at enhancing coordination and dialogue between key Government
players, CBOs, FMCs, and local NGOs, to work out suitable mechanisms for sustainable use of
lands (private & CPRs lands) for resource management, agro-forestry development, improved
livestock management by strengthening collaborative linkages with all concerned.
Objective of the project
• Reducing environmental degradation & fodder scarcity by enhancing community
knowledge on resource management, improved livestock management by strengthening
collaborative linkages with all concerned by developing agro-forestry over villages to
restore back ecology.
• To reduce the forest pressure and to avoid disturbances to the natural habitats of wild
animals by grazers and to reduce forest land desertification due to over-grazing.
• To bring back a balancing between livestock, livelihood and environment by protecting
forest resources, bio-diversity, eco-restoration etc. through developing long-lasting agro-
forestry and thus to reduce forest dependency.

(Govt. Depts.) for grazing land reclamation and to support the pilot physically and
financially increasing fodder & addressing concerned needs of Small Ruminant Rearers
and forest resources and bio-diversity
• Capacity building & facilitate transfer of technology to FMCs (Communities) in
developing and managing natural resources for fodder requirements and to work with
VSs, VSSs, EDCs for eliminating migratory rearing and facilitate forests-bio-diversity
conservation
• Networking with local NGOs and others to have effective implementation and micro-
planning for livestock based livelihood through coordination and information sharing
facilitating appropriate inputs needed towards the sustainability of the programme
respectively.
• Harnessing of experiences, methods and approaches for sustainable management of
fodder resources for mainstreaming and institutionalizing FMCs with Govt. programmes,
academies and Grama Panchayaths etc.

3.3. Dissemination and Agro-Villages – Specialty and Features:
In all the villages, and nurseries and entrance of the villages, there will be Iron Boards engraved
with “Global Giving Agro-Forestry Villages” “Global Giving Agro-Forestry Nurseries”. And in
all the project materials, there will be “Global Giving – India Initiatives”. And at the end of the
project termination, a Massive Meeting will be organized (As we do in all our projects) with
MPs, MLAs and other Political leaders, religious leaders including DMs, DC, DSPs etc. to
officially hand over the project to the communities (Here FMCs) to take up and own-up the
activities to continue in future so that the initiatives will be region and state level will be
highlighted so to even for policy level changes too, for there is no such projects much in India,
though it is a prime and unique one to take-up to save our forests, bio-diversity, rural villages
and to bring ecological balancing saving a major portion of rural families’ livelihood.
During the life of the project the following Medias will be encouraged to cover the programme
intervention and its policy, approaches and impacts. The Leading Vernacular Dailies like 1)
Eenadu 2) Vaartha 3) Andhra Jyothi 4) Praja Shakthi and 5) Sakshi and the National English
Daily; Deccan Chronicle. And as we do in our projects, we will upload the videos (HD) in Social
Medias and will publish in periodicals and magazines as particular columns etc. CARE has an
exclusive team for the same.
