This publication, which is the final installment in a three-part series under the PRCGC project, is a testament to the project’s overall success in terms of the two criteria mentioned. The implementation and completion of the PRCGC project is, in itself, an achievement for IPGRI as the project is one of the first of its kind to be undertaken by the Institute under its new mandate of plant genetic diversity conservation and utilization – of linking PGR conservation and its use to poverty alleviation. The PRCGC project marks an important milestone for IPGRI in its thrust towards its new mandate of promoting diversity through a people-centered approach to serve as a model for similar projects to be undertaken by the Institute in the future. Aptly entitled “Poverty Reduction in Coconut Growing Communities, Volume III: Project Achievement and Impact”, this book documents the actual achievements of the project and its perceived initial impact on its farmer-beneficiaries through reports, articles and writeups substantiated by socioeconomic data and photos. Moreover, this book highlights the stories, experiences and testimonies of actual people – the communities, the farmers and their fami- lies, the country project implementers – attesting to what the project has achieved and how it affected and benefited their lives. I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate the COGENT Team, led by Dr. Pons Batugal and his staff, for effectively implementing, monitoring and coordinating the PRCGC project. My heartfelt gratitude as well goes out to the national partners, the CBOs, NGOs, and most especially to the farmers for their hard work, perseverance and cooperation. I would also like to thank our donor, the Asian Development Bank, for their full support of the project and their faith in IPGRI-COGENT. May the impact and achievements of this project, the fruits of our common effort, continue to benefit the present and future genera- tions of coconut farmers. Percy E. Sajise Regional Director International Plant Genetic Resources Institute Regional Office for Asia, the Pacific and Oceania vi POVERTY REDUCTION IN COCONUT GROWING COMMUNITIES VOLUME III Introduction About 96% of coconuts are grown by smallholders tending four hectares or less of land, in many cases not owned by them. About 85% of the 12 million hectares of coconuts are grown in the Asia Pacific region. Coconut farmers are marginalized: they grow coconut and associated crops in rainfed and often environmentally fragile areas; most

  • ABSTRACT Title of Document: PLACE and CASTE IDENTIFICATION
    ABSTRACT Title of Document: PLACE AND CASTE IDENTIFICATION: DISTANCIATION AND SPATIAL IMAGINARIES ON A CASTE-BASED SOCIAL NETWORK. Jillet Sarah Sam, Doctor of Philosophy, 2014 Directed By: Professor George Ritzer, Sociology This thesis studies the potency of place in mobilizing social categories, and its implications for both social categories and places. I use the theory of distanciation to study associations between caste identity and place. I conducted an ethnographic study of a caste-based digital group, the Cyber Thiyyars of Malabar, to understand the connections and disconnections between the Thiyya caste and Malabar from the perspectives of different sets of actors involved in the identification of caste, namely the nation-state and members of this caste-based network. The nation-state knows the Thiyya caste in a manner that is disconnected from Malabar, while the Cyber Thiyyars of Malabar seek to re-emphasize the identification of this caste through the region. Participant observation and in-depth interviews indicate that through references to Malabar, the group seeks to establish a Thiyya caste identity that is distinct from the Ezhavas, a caste group within which the nation-state subsumes them. I demonstrate that references to Malabar serve to counter the stigma that the Cyber Thiyyars of Malabar experience when the spatially abstract categorization of the Thiyyas interacts with notions of caste inferiority/superiority. Further, it serves as a mobilizational tool through which they hope to negotiate with the nation-state for greater access to affirmative action. I also demonstrate that caste identification continues to be relevant to the production of place. Place-based identification of the Thiyyas influences the manner in which the group envisions the physical boundaries of Malabar and how other social groups can belong to this region.

  • Caste and Gender in the Urban Space of Keralam
    Caste and Gender in the Urban Space of Keralam A Case study based on Experience of Chithra Lekha In small towns and urban spaces in India we can often find cinema theatres, old book shops, night-skies, dirt, varieties of sounds, sights, visions and what not!!! But we cannot forget that these spaces are also inhabited by a large number of human beings who create and consume all of these urban and semi-urban phenomena. As researchers coming from the discipline of humanities, such human interactions that structure the culture of the urban space is what interests us most. This helps us get in touch with our own troubled lives in various semi-urban situations, both as children and as adults, which has pushed us like this, to think about the way this world is arranged. Thus we decided to study one of the most important patterns in the urban design, the way in which identities such as caste, gender and religion make and unmake human lives. It was easy for us to choose the Chithralekha case for this, as it is often called, which in 2006, was on the lips of every Malayalee intellectual who wanted to talk about the issue of caste in the contemporary space of Kerala. We begin this report by giving a detailed account of this case: Chithra Lekha was born into a Pulaya family, which is an ex-untouchable caste in Keralam. Chithra Lekha's husband Shreeshanth is a Thiyya (an OBC caste). Both his family and the dominant left party (CPI (M)) structure were against Shreeshanth marrying Chithra Lekha as she is a Dalit.

  • Virgin Coconut Oil
    Virgin Coconut Oil Coconut oil obtained from coconut milk is called virgin coconut oil. Traditional and modern methods are available for the manufacture of virgin coconut oil. In the traditional method, milk extracted from grated coconut kernel is boiled to get oil. Of late, the traditional method has been partially mechanized using a bridge press and mechanical grater. The modern method of extracting oil from fresh coconut kernel is known as wet processing. The Virgin coconut oil is considered superior for use as edible oil, hair oil and baby oil because of its pleasing aroma and purity. It is applied on the body of babies to protect from skin diseases. Because of its low FFA content, this oil has a longer shelf life. Composition of VCO as per APCC Sl.

    Daily Prayer Guide for all People Groups & Unreached People Groups = LR-UPGs - of INDIA Source: Joshua Project data, www.joshuaproject.net 2019 Western edition Introduction Page i INTRODUCTION & EXPLANATION All Joshua Project people groups & “Least Reached” (LR) / “Unreached People Groups” (UPG) downloaded in August 2018 are included. Joshua Project considers LR & UPG as those people groups who are less than 2 % Evangelical and less than 5 % total Christian. The statistical data for population, percent Christian (all who consider themselves Christian), is Joshua Project computer generated as of August 24, 2018. This prayer guide is good for multiple years (2018, 2019, etc.) as there is little change (approx. 1.4% growth) each year. ** AFTER 2018 MULTIPLY POPULATION FIGURES BY 1.4 % ANNUAL GROWTH EACH YEAR. The JP-LR column lists those people groups which Joshua Project lists as “Least Reached” (LR), indicated by Y = Yes. White rows shows people groups JP lists as “Least Reached” (LR) or UPG, while shaded rows are not considered LR people groups by Joshua Project. For India ISO codes are used for some Indian states as follows: AN = Andeman & Nicobar.
