Enhancing Development Outcomes Download Sustainable Tribal Empowerment Project Social Mobilisation, Empowerment and Capabilities : In India, over the last several decades, development goals and targets have been backed by commitment of resources by the State through an extensive array of public programs. However, indicators of human development, particularly among marginalized communities, point to the sub-optimal outcomes from Social Mobilization, Empowerment and Capabilities these investments. This Report analyzes the reasons for the continuing and large gaps between the social sector outlays Enhancing Development Outcomes and the outcomes. Through the experiences of the Sustainable Tribal Empowerment Project (STEP), the Report argues why it is essential for focusing on building community capacities to enable them to overcome barriers of participation and utilize opportunities for acquiring a range of assets and capabilities both at the individual as well as collective levels. The Report presents the strategy and interventions of STEP, being implemented in 6000 tribal communities in four districts of Andhra Pradesh since November 2001 with the objective of empowering them to realize their rights and overcome poverty, hunger and malnutrition. The outcomes of STEP have been measured through a group of indicators, which collectively form the Human Empowerment Index and Gender Empowerment Index. The indicators encompass the social, economic and political dimensions of development in the Project Area. The Report also compares these indices with those in the Control Area to establish the signifi cant impact made by the project. This Report will be of use to all those who are engaged in the process of human development and empowerment of poor in India.

Andhra Pradesh. ABSTRACT: Over exploitation of forest resources by the various external agencies, mining operations and development projects of government and non-government in the tribal areas are resulting to deforestation which are adversely affecting the life of the aboriginals. The consequences of forest ecosystem degradation to tribal health are numerous. Primarily, which create natural imbalance of forest bio-diversity resulting to food problem and loosening permanent energy base. Prolonged starvation for food leads to high incidence of malnutrition, morbidity and mortality among them. Due to deforestation, some of the valuable medicinal plants become extinction and tribals also loose their prime medicinal source. The forest policies of government are also adversely affecting the livelihoods of tribals. In this research paper an attempt is made to explain tribals’ interaction with forests and influence of ecological and cultural factors on their health. It also deals with their indigenous medicinal practices and effects of government forest policies on their lifestyles. Further it emphasizes the relevance of action anthropology in solving the health problems of tribals. The paper discusses the inter connectedness in between the forest ecology, health and medicine of tribes in anthropological holistic perspective with an empirical evidence of a case study in Visakha agency area of Andhra Pradesh.

  • Terms of Reference Assignment: Baseline and Market Scoping Study for Coffee, Black Pepper and Turmeric Value Chains in Paderu, Andhra Pradesh
    TERMS OF REFERENCE Terms of Reference Assignment: Baseline and Market Scoping study for coffee, black pepper and turmeric value chains in Paderu, Andhra Pradesh Program: Verified Sourcing Area (VSA) IDH the Sustainable Trade Initiative (IDH), is an international not-for-profit organization that convenes companies, Civil Society Organizations (CSOs), governments, and other stakeholders in public-private partnerships to accelerate and upscale sustainable trade of several agricultural commodities. IDH drives the joint design, co-funding, and prototyping of new economically viable approaches to realize green & inclusive growth at scale in agricultural commodity sectors and sourcing areas. Through its partnerships, IDH aims to drive sustainability from niche to norm in mainstream markets, delivering an impact on the Sustainable Development Goals. IDH VERIFIED SOURCING AREA (VSA) PROGRAM Due to the rising global demand for responsibly produced agricultural commodities, businesses, and governments in producing regions as well as in consumer markets are increasingly putting sustainability commitments on their agendas. Yet no efficient and inexpensive option currently exists to guarantee the supply of agricultural commodities that fulfill these commitments at scale. The Verified Sourcing Area (VSA) model is a new responsible sourcing mechanism currently being developed by IDH and its partners. The VSA model brings together the producing region, supply chain actors, and committed end buyers. In the producing region, a sustainability improvement deal (Compact) is made between private and public stakeholders at the jurisdictional level, e.g. a municipality, mandal, district, or state. Rather than verifying sustainability farm by farm, the proposed partnership model takes a regional jurisdictional approach, which reduces costs for sustainable agriculture and allows markets to buy large scale volumes with greater efficiency, transparency, and traceability.

    DASHRATH PRASAD FERTILIZERS PVT. LTD. SY. NO. 274/1, 274/2, 276/A2, 277/A1, TEKULAPALLI VILLAGE, PENUBALLI MANDAL, KHAMMAM DISTRICT, TELANGANA EXECUTIVE SUMMARY SUBMITTED TO TELANGANA STATE POLLUTION CONTROL BOARD, REGIONAL OFFICE, KOTHAGUDEM Dashrath Prasad Fertilizers Pvt. Ltd. Executive Summary EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Introduction Fertilizers are generally defined as “any material, organic or inorganic, one or more of chemical elements required for plant growth”. Fertilizers have played a vital role in success of India’s green revolution and consequently self-reliance in food grains production. The increase in fertilizer consumption has contributed significantly to sustainable production of food grains in the country. Single superphosphate (SSP) was the first commercial mineral fertilizer and it led to the development of the modern plant nutrient industry. This material was once the most commonly used fertilizer, but other phosphorus (P) fertilizers have largely replaced SSP because of its relatively low P content. Dashrath Prasad Fertilizers Pvt. Ltd. proposes to include Single Super Phosphate (SSP) manufacturing facility in permitted/consented NPK Fertilizers (by mixing only) unit in an area of 12.6 acres located at Sy. No. 274/1, 274/2, 276/A2, 277/A1, Tekulapalli Village, Penuballi Mandal, Khammam District, Telangana. The capital cost of the project is Rs. 5.5 crores. Prior environmental clearance is mandated by Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MoEFCC), vide SO 1533, dated September 14, 2006, for Chemical Fertilizers manufacturing activity. The project sought terms of reference for preparation of EIA report during March 2017. State Expert Appraisal Committee (SEAC) of Telangana advised the proponent to prepare EIA based on Standard Terms of Reference issued by Ministry of Environment, Forests and Climate Change (MoEFCC) for “Chemical Fertilizers” in the SEAC meeting held on 07.04.2017 and the draft Environmental impact assessment (EIA) report is prepared in compliance of the TOR to conduct public hearing.
