Regular monthly meeting is helpful in organizing farmers and women into a group and a sense of solidarity is being developed. Apart from this the monthly meetings are helping the members of these groups hoe to run a group successfully.

Micro trainings on SHG management have been finished this month. Women from 5 SHGs have been trained in the villages. Hope this training will facilitate women of Mahila Mandals/SHGs to run their CBO smoothly. They learnt the importance of SHG, the meeting process, documentation, purpose of saving, discussion on several social issues etc.

Demo plots on organic farming have been completed this month.  2 quintals of certified seeds of wheat, 10quintals of vermicompost and 5 packets of Tricodarma have been distributed among farmers of 5 different villages. The follow up is being done and in the demo plot the farmers are seeking suggestion from K.V.K scientist Mr. Mukesh chand and Dr. Gupta. Without expert opinion the demo-plot may not be successful. This is why JCSS has requested K.V.K scientists to assist Harit Prayas farmers in demo plot.

Two charts related with tool have been developed by team harit prayas to measure the progress of project at JCSS. The chart will be assisting in applying tools successfully and scientifically. The chart has been distributed to the field coordinator and cluster coordinators. As soon as date is received, the tool and pmf will be sent, after compilation, to Caritas india.

To resolve the issue of T.A and manage the human resources a T.A chart has been prepared.

The opening up bank accounts of all eligible CBOs has been started.

 Farmer’s training on Government agricultural scheme has been conducted this month. Resource persons were from k.v.k and in total 65 participants were there in this training. This training was conducted at Block level.

To get the approval from NBARD for the farmer’s club, JCSS is trying her best. Hope by the end of January atleast two Farmer’s club will be approved by NABARD.
