(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. JHARKHAND N W E S Working Area *map not in scale. 5 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: Sale Turnover (Rs.
