3 Introduction

Jharkhand Women's Self-Supporting Poultry Co-operative Federation Ltd. (JWSSPCFL), is a women's institution of small holder poultry farmers across Jharkhand, established to challenge the incidence of poverty due to lack of resources for sustainable livelihood. It capitalises on the well researched and practised small holder poultry model to mobilise, motivate, organise and support the rural marginalised women in Jharkhand by monitoring the operations of primary level co-operatives in Jharkhand. JWSSPCFL is registered under Jharkhand Self-Supporting Co-operative Societies Act 1996. Since its registration on 31st of March 2005, it has come a long way while delivering its objective of providing a sustainable livelihood. It is now a strong institution of 4660 rural marginalised women from 10 co- operatives across Jharkhand who are able to realise their potential as an entrepreneur. Vision

To establish a strong institution of poultry enterprise run by rural marginalised women for generation of sustainable source of income. Small holder poultry model in Jharkhand

Small holder poultry farming model was initiated by PRADAN as a sustainable livelihood option to supplement the subsist income from rain fed agriculture in Jharkhand. Broiler farming was found to be the most adequate option owing to factors such as - potential for the enterprise due lack of organised broiler production in Jharkhand and acquaintance with poultry as backyard poultry farming has been present in most of the houses since ages, forming a part of nutrition and family income. Inducting women as poultry farmers had its advantage as traditionally women looked after the livestock at home. The initial focus was on mobilisation, motivation and capacity building of these women into an entrepreneur. They were trained in poultry technology which included brooding, rearing, vaccination, poultry shed management, biosecurity, hygiene, litter management etc. The other aspect in small holder poultry farming was leadership and management of the co-operatives which was formed to meet their common economic, social and cultural needs and aspirations through a jointly owned and democratically controlled poultry enterprise. These women entrepreneurs now have a sustainable source of income at home which supplements their need for regular cash flow. They are now empowered enough to not only look after the basic needs of the family but plan for a future which they could only dream of. The cash income in the hands of women is spent more wisely on health and education of the children. This livelihood initiative has helped the families to come out from the circle of migration. The income from poultry is also spent on building resources for agriculture which further augments their income. With enhancement in income in the vicinity of the village the families have completely stopped migrating in search for livelihood. These women have come a long way from having no say in the family to being breadwinners for their family. They are now skilled entrepreneurs with dreams and aspirations for not only their family but for their institution as well.

4 Development of organised poultry farming

Small holder poultry farming initiative by co-operatives has changed the face of poultry production in Jharkhand. About 20% of the total demand is now produced in the home state. The co-operative wave has helped to capitalise on the collective strength of the women farmers. This initiative that started off with 60 members is now 4660 members strong. It started off with a production of hardly under a metric tonne to more than 30 metric tonnes a day. The indigenous production of broilers in the villages has helped in the evolution of the market. The single window marketing system which caters to lifting of broilers by the buyers from the farm, has helped in the emergence of big and small buyers who owe their business to this initiative. The need for poverty reduction in Jharkhand, the increasing demand of the product and the deficit in production has aggravated the need to replicate the small holder poultry model. This model not only focuses on the production at independent farms but also on integration at all levels. There is a scope for developing Jharkhand as a hub for poultry production supported by backward linkages like parent farm for production of hatching eggs, hatchery for day old chicks (DOC) and fully automated feed plant for production of quality pellet feed. A well established backward linkage will ensure production of quality ready birds at the farm. Similarly, forward linkage will ensure production to cater as per the changing demands in the market and establishing a brand for recognition. Jharkhand Women Self-Supporting Poultry Co-operative Federation Ltd. is the only organised poultry institution in Jharkhand dedicated towards establishing a poultry industry run by rural women capable of competing with poultry giants such as Suguna, Godrej, Indian Broilers etc.

Services provided by Federation in the previous years : Jharkhand Women Self-Supporting Poultry Co-operative Federation Ltd. was established to collectivise the business of primary poultry co-operatives across Jharkhand. The services provided to its member co-operatives are as follows: · Procuring material inputs, specially the kind that is to be procured from outside the state and supply of the same to all member co-operatives. · Supporting member co-operatives in collective marketing of poultry birds. · Co-ordination among member co-operatives for ensuring strategy coherence and for setting higher efficiency standards. · System setting for production management and accounting and periodic review of operations of all the members. The co-operatives are committed towards day to day management for efficient production of live birds. Therefore, Federation, other than providing business support through collective procurement of inputs is dedicated towards integration of business. Hatchery A hatchery was the first step towards integration of business in Jharkhand. The day old chicks (DOC) were purchased from outside. Inconsistency in the quality of DOC purchased from outside along with fluctuating price compelled towards establishment of own hatchery. A hatchery was established at Peterwar, Bokaro, with capacity to produce 3 lakh day old chicks per month. This initiative helped save Rs 2 per chick, which accumulates to Rs 6 lakh per month and Rs 72 lakh annually. In the financial year 2016-17, 31,76,144 chicks were produced of value Rs 10,47,35,492 . Another hatchery of same capacity is established at Kurru, Lohardaga. The hatching eggs for the hatchery are not available in eastern India and are purchased from southern or northern states of India. A parent farm will be boon for the hatchery, where Federation can save upto Rs 25 per chicks on production of own hatching eggs which accumulates to Rs 10 crore approximately annually. Feed Mill Feed is the most important input in production of broilers with 60% of production cost attributed to it. Federation owns a feed mill at Peterwar where ready feed and 15% concentrate is prepared. 15% concentrate is a mixture of 25-30 medicines which is mixed with soyabean de-oilled cake and maize purchased from outside for preparation of ready feed. The production of feed for the financial year 2016-17 is as follows: Feed Quantity (Metric Tonnes) Pre-Starter 1031.80 Starter 2410.60 Finisher 2938.47 The total sale turnover of feed mill for financial year 2016-17 is Rs. 7,01,08,102.50 7 Sale Turnover of Federation:

Human resource Efficiency in performance is integral to smooth and quality functioning of a business. Small holder poultry model is competing with giant poultry industries, therefore best and competent professionals at all levels are necessary. Federation is committed towards recruiting quality professionals for Federation as well as Co-operatives. Various trainings and refreshers are organised all year round for enhanced efficiency in performance and to upgrade on the latest technologies. Motivational trainings are organised to encourage employees to work for the vision of the organisation towards i.e. upliftment and empowerment of rural marginalised women.

Marketing: The co-operatives follow a single window marketing system. The ready live birds are sold by the co- operative i.e. the buyers directly lift the birds from the farm. The members are shielded from all the hassles of marketing. They are remunerated on the basis of their efficiency of rearing birds which is known as Efficiency Index (E.I.) which is calculated as per the standards followed by poultry industry. The emphasis is selling maximum product in the local market. The co-operatives have established a good market for themselves locally and sell 70% to 90% in the local market. The sale price is monitored by Federation, by keeping a tab on the sale price all over India. The Federation ensures that co- operatives realise the best price without competing and clashing among themselves.

8 The Federation is planning on opening retail outlets in the cities of Jharkhand to establish the brand “Swayam” and cater to the customised demands of urban population. Retail outlets will ensure higher margin from the product compared to wholesale. One such outlet has already been inaugurated at Jamshedpur. The Federation is planning to open 10 such outlets by the year 2020.

“Swayam Chicken” retail outlet at Jamshedpur Supervisors l Supervisors are local resource persons at village trained as paravets for regular and timely delivery of inputs and services. One Supervisor looks after 25-30 farms approximately. l They supervise and monitor performance of sheds day and night by recording the performance such as feed consumption, mortality, weight etc. in the “Producer Book” l Report performance in the weekly meeting at co-operative office. l Matric is minimum education qualification for the job. l This strategy has helped create an employment opportunity for local youths in the village l Around 250 supervisors are employed with member co-operatives of Federation who have found a meaningful employment in their village. Board of Directors The executive management of Federation is vested in the Board of Directors consisting of six members. The members are elected in Annual General Meeting by the governing body. The Board is the ultimate decision making body of the Federation. The Directors, who are the representatives from member co- operatives require leadership and governing skills. The women entrepreneurs from co-operatives who ultimately form the Board of Directors are given training on leadership, governance and capacity building to lead the Federation. This governance model of Federation facilitates further enhancement in the skills of women entrepreneurs, where they are apprised to understand the business and take decisions for it. It offers a platform to boost their confidence for further participation in decision making at home and society.

9 Co-operatives:

The women entrepreneurs are collectivised into co-operatives and registered as Self-Supporting Co-operative Societies under Jharkhand Self-Supporting Co-operative Societies Act 1996. At present 10 registered co- operatives across Jharkhand are member of Federation. The members of co-operative societies are women who belong to the financially and socially marginalized and weaker section of the society. A typical broiler farmer of the collective is a rural woman from disadvantaged communities, hitherto, dependent for their sustenance on rain fed agriculture and wage earning. Today through systematic intervention at all the enterprise stages she has gathered skills, infrastructure, inputs and marketing arrangements for a successful home based broiler poultry unit. The minimum she requires is one cent of land (500 square-feet), either owned by her or taken on lease. She earns between Rs.35,000-40,000 a year which works out to Rs. 175-200 a day for her 200 days of engagement. This income, available to her in a regular stream of cash flows on a continuous basis, helps her to meet the need of cash expenses and also of capital formation in the family. This income strengthens the woman to negotiate a better deal for herself within her family and the larger society. Income from the activity equivalent to 200 wage days reduces out migration and helps the family invest on existing resources most notably the arable land – homestead or otherwise; thereby further ugmenting the sufficiency in the hitherto deficit household.

Mission 20-20

Federation has adopted some objectives to be achieved by the year 2020 which are as follows:

l To increase the number of co-operatives from 10 to 20 and number of members from 4,000 to 10,000

l To establish a parent farm of 30,000 capacity eggs for hatchery.

l Layer farm at Basia block in Gumla district, for egg production.

l To establish a pellet feed plant with production capacity of 200-300 MT daily.

Federation has been constantly working towards achieving this mission for previous years and the work is already on the ground. By achieving these objectives Federation along with its counterpart in Madhya Pradesh will be a part of first such organisation in India and Jharkhand will be a complete hub of broiler production.

12 New Initiatives by the Federation: 1. Broiler Parent Breeder Farm of 30,000 capacity: The Federation has already embarked on its project of parent breeder farm of 30,000 capacity for production of hatching eggs for hatchery at Gumla. The quality, availability, cost and delivery of hatching eggs have always been of the utmost concern. There is no broiler parent farm in Jharkhand till date. The parent breeder farm will ensure the following: l Quality hatching eggs. As of now the hatching eggs are come from southern India by trains. Long transportation results into poor hatchability with high percentage of cracks and breakage of eggs. l The average annual price of hatching eggs is Rs 20 whereas the production cost if just Rs 15. Own parent breeder farm will help save Rs 4-5 per egg which will reduce the production cost leading to a healthy competition in market. l After implementation of project, 5 lakh hatching eggs will be produced in first 18 months and which will be doubled in 3 years after expanding the capacity from 30,000 to 60,000 birds by the contribution of the Federation 2. Layer farm: The Federation has started its project on layer farm for production of broiler eggs at Basia block of Gumla. In Jharkhand, there is huge deficit in terms of egg production. The state hardly produces 7-9% of the total requirement of eggs. The eggs are coming to these states from Andhra Pradesh and Chhattisgarh. Therefore through this new initiative by the Federation, the livelihood opportunity for 600 families will be generated and state will ensure 9 crores eggs additionally. Small-holder Poultry: Winning Against Odds Making Poor Participate in Poultry Growth Poultry has been the fastest growing agri-allied sector activity over the last two decades in India- about 8 % for eggs and 15 % for broilers. Response to this opportunity has mainly come from urban and peri-urban capital-intensive industrial poultry farms including corporate bodies like VH Group, Suguna. While 70% of poultry production was at a family level in 1970, today it is less than 8%. The poultry revolution in India is the story of industrialization of poultry production, with production changing from being the traditional local multi-purpose activity to an increasingly market-oriented and vertically-integrated business leaving at the other extreme a fast disappearing minimalist scavenging and backyard poultry. This is the context of our intervention in poultry value chain: it has unpacked and adapted broiler production technology to context of tribal women and create socio-techno-commercial model for seamless transition of non- producers to producers able to stand their ground in an industrialised sector. The small-holder poultry model has adequately demonstrated that it is possible for the small farmers to participate in this growing industry, matching the efficiency of big farmers and organized integrators Falling between these two ends of the spectrum is the opportunity to promote individually owned 400- 1,000 bird unit poultry unit, collectivized into producer collective-enterprises, it builds on natural advantages of rural populations (and particularly women) in this activity because of the criticality of 'husbandry' in production process and decentralized production systems score over the industrial units on animal welfare and environmental grounds. The small-holder poultry model has demonstrated that it is possible for the small farmers to participate in this growing industry. Today, these producers constitute the largest commercial production house in the states of Madhya Pradesh and Jharkhand.

13 Community Owned Small-holder Poultry Model PRADAN's (now spearheaded by NSPDT) community poultry model has been designed to enable small-holders - particularly resource poor (landless or marginal land-owning) families participate in poultry industry growth. The Small-holder Poultry model is an alternative response to the state animal husbandrydepartment's backyard poultry model and the corporate industrial poultry model, combining elements of both to context-fit poultry to a tribal woman in a remote village giving her remunerative return on labour in her context, de-risking the enterprise from market vagaries and giving her dignity & control of an owner. As an institutional model it has translated the small-scale family labour unit's farm-gate competitiveness to enterprise competitiveness by creating a context-fit across size, investment, technology, input-output linkages; and farmer-driven institutional support architecture. The model organizes the women producers into collectives and creates system and processes to support the women in attaining industry-competitive production and scale efficiencies.The activity is organised to leverage the opportunities offered by the industry by reducing the disadvantages and accentuating the advantages of small and decentralised units on three fronts: production organisation, input-output markets and financial systems. Women from poor families are organized into cooperatives with each woman rearing broilers in poultry-farms built on their homesteads. A mature cooperative typically has 300-500 members with 30-40 farmers in one village. A community- based supervisor provides round-the-clock production management and farm-support. A professional manager trained in veterinary or management sciences is engaged by the cooperative as its chief functionary responsible for day-to-day management and operational business decisions. Poultry Management System based on Quality Assurance Systems approach provides a detailed systems and procedure template for business decisions and helps in compliance and monitoring, this is supported by a customised accounts & MIS software. The cooperatives are further federated into two state level secondary organizations, namely Jharkhand Women Poultry Federation and Madhya Pradesh Women Poultry Producers Company. The federations pass on the benefits of: vertical integration, professional and technical support, economies of scale, increased bargaining power with external suppliers and regulators. NSPDT today spearheads the largest organized family poultry initiative in India and is one of the largest enterprise of indigenous communities globally, uniquely the enterprise in its entirety is owned by women farmers. Today 9,183 women organized in 20 Poultry co-operatives in Madhya Pradesh, Jharkhand, Odisha and West Bengal posted sales of Rs.286.92 crores (FY2016), these organizations now have total equity base of Rs. 51.2 crore, to member's enterprise provided Rs.21.6 crores. NSPDT has successfully created state-of-art modern facilities – hatchery, parent farm, feed plants for backward integration. We have also laid down strong foundation at NSPDT for institutional capacity including independent revenue generation and human resources for sustainable geometric growth of small-poultry holder. There exists scope to scale up and replicate the model in States of Odisha, Chhattisgarh, Assam and Bihar apart from existing work areas in MP and Jharkhand, doubling outreach to 20,000 farmers, 50 cooperatives, producer incomes of Rs.100 crores and turnover Rs. 1,000 crores in the next 5 years.

In this situation, Sushila Kisku went door to door to build confidence in people of the village and encouraged them to become a member of the co-operative. As a result, while there were only 23 members from Dhadkidih village doing poultry in the beginning, now the number has been raised to 40.

17 Transforming a village

The village of Alankera Pahartoli is situated in the Palkot block of Gumla. Surrounded by the beauty of nature, this village is habituated by the Ahir tribe of Jharkhand. Approximately 45 families contribute to a population of 300 villagers. They are mostly dependent on agriculture and labour for subsistence. The village was completely inaccessible with narrow pathways covered in mud and swamp. The inaccessible roads made delivery of services such as health and education difficult. The villagers had to struggle to access basic daily needs. The villagers had no opportunity of income in the village, which made the economy fragile. They migrated to towns and cities to work in brick kilns. This situation rendered education for children impossible. Poverty, illiteracy and unemployment led them to migrate to other places making them even more vulnerable. The women left behind, had to look for meagre means such as working in other villagers fields. Some even took to antisocial means of selling liquor. The youths were leading a life with no education, guidance and future. This arduous condition led to intervention from PRADAN. It started with the formation of SHGs where the women were nurtured to cultivate a habit to save at least Rs 5-10 weekly. This group was also a platform to spread awareness and enlighten the women on relevant and important issues. This platform helped to boost their confidence as they expressed themselves socially which was something they had never done before. An opportunity in the form of poultry enterprise further opened a gateway towards prosperity. The women were inducted on broiler poultry farming. The women were initially hesitant due to sophistication and discipline associated with it. After some time and perseverance the members agreed to adopt broiler farming as a means of livelihood. They comprehended the benefits associated with an opportunity of a livelihood staying at home. They rose above their apprehensions to change the face of not only their future but the village too. There are 37 families in the village now associated with poultry enterprise. The families have completely stopped migrating. The family members assist the women with the activity. All the children in the village are receiving good education, with most of them going to English Medium schools in towns. Some of them have also sent their children to cities for higher education. They have invested the income from poultry to build resources for agriculture. Many families have taken to mango plantation which has further augmented their income. Most of the families have also further expanded the capacity of the poultry shed. These two activities have totally changed the outlook of the villages. Each and every member is engaged fruitfully and it shows in the ambience of the village. The President of the Gumla Co-operative, Bhagwati Devi too belongs to this village. She expresses extreme pride in the success of her village. She was one of the first members to have started with poultry farming and was integral in pursuing other women to adopt poultry farming. She has been in the struggle to bring out her village from the vicious cycle of poverty.
