Janpriya Bahu-Udesya Sahakari Sangstha (JBUSS), located in Lekhgaon,

Surkhet is approximately twenty km from Birendranagar is an applicant to

the W2 VCF. The submitted business plan lacked consensus in the construction and renovation of

the goat shed. JBUSS had initially submitted their BP on the renovation of the goat shed. At a later

stage they had requested on the re-submission of their BP with construction of the goat shed

instead of its renovation. On the 31st August’14, a PMU team comprising of Harimadan Adhikari (AEC),

and Abhijit Bhattacharya (SNV) visited Lekhgaon for a situation analysis for the appropriateness to the

HVAP grant support on the construction or/and renovation of the goat shed to the individual HHs.

Inspection of the goat shed was randomly done among seven HH as mentioned below;

1. Harikala Pulami

2. Gopisara Pulami

3. Minu Sijali

4. Lalisara Reshmi (stone wall)

5. Kaghisara reshmi

6. Tulsi Pulami (stone wall)

7. Dil Maya Shernet

The following observations were made;

The existing goat sheds was well constructed with thatched roof ventilation with a good

plinth height supported with wooden planks walls and bamboo floor. Two shed were

constructed with stones and mud.

Most sheds had an extended balcony to stall feed the goats.

The goats were a cross breed of khari and jamuna pari and productive in goat rearing

The existing sheds were insufficient to accommodate incremental growth of the goat herd

size.

Bamboo and labour is commonly available but wood is scare.

Sufficient availability of fodder and forage on individually owned land.

On the discussion and further clarity on the consequences of misappropriation and

incompletion of the shed in terms of HVAP parameters the following member volunteered

construct new shed to comply by the HVAP norms and conditions;

1. Dil Maya Shernet
