PROJECT PROPOSAL CONCEPT NOTE RESOURCE POOR RURAL WOMEN SOCIO-ECONOMIC EMPOWERMENT BY BEEKEEPING

Background Beekeeping is an age-old forest based tradition in India.. Of late it has been recognized that beekeeping has great potential to develop as a prime agriculture, horticulture and forest based industry. India has a potential to produce 150 million colonies and currently we do not have even half a million. Ninety percent of the potential remains untapped. Honey production is a lucrative business that generates employment and it is considered as a low-investment profit-giving venture. Several natural plant species provide nectar and pollen to honey bees. The raw material for production of honey is available free from nature. Beehives neither demand additional land space nor do they compete with agriculture, instead the presence of beehives will augment the crop yields due to increased pollination. Women in rural areas have occupied the lowest rank in the social hierarchy who are land less and form the major work force in agriculture and are getting seasonal employment. If they are properly trained they can effectively take up employment and income generating activities in rural areas which are not only useful for their own development but also have beneficial effects to the society at large. As the empowerment of SC and ST women in rural areas is gaining momentum, it is important to train and encourage them to practice and maintain beekeeping through self help and participatory approach. The present project envisages introducing beekeeping as an income generating activity in the potential areas of Mysore and Chamarajanagar districts and capacity building in these areas with the following objectives. The beneficiaries are the SC/ST rural women of the above said districts in Karnataka. OBJECTIVES: 1. Enlighten SC/ST rural women about modern beekeeping through intensive extension programmes and Capacity building at village level through intensive training programme.

2. Supply the critical inputs like beehive, smoker, honey extractor, face veil, comb foundation sheets and a portable beehive stand to each of the SC and ST women who complete the training. 3. Honey extraction, processing, packing and development of market linkage involving Sthree Shakthi groups. o Analyze the impact of beekeeping on the social capital and the empowerment of SC/ST rural population, on their nutritional status, employment, income generation and also the impact on ecology. OUTCOMES 1. It creates awareness to rural women about modern scientific method of beeKeeping 2 It facilitates the trained rural women to establish the beehives for income generation. 2. Helps in the production of quality honey and to get remunerative prices through proper marketing 3. To quantify the socio-economic benefits accrued to the women beneficiaries by beekeeping. WORK PLAN The project will be implemented in Mysore and Chamarajanagar districts. These districts will be purposively selected since there is natural fauna and flora available for honey production and the traditional bee keeping is not being practiced. The project will be implemented by the Agricultural College, UAS, GKVK, Bangalore supported by the technical service centers of Department of Apiculture, Agricultural Economics Agricultural Marketing and Business Management and the Department of Agricultural Extension. Besides, the self help groups, Non Governmental organizations, Khadi and village industries commission, Raitha Samparka Kendras of the State Department of Agriculture will help in selection of beneficiaries and also to take up necessary followup.The target group will be Scheduled Caste and Schedule Tribe women from the selected villages of Mysore, and Chamarajanagar districts in Karnataka blessed with abundant flora. The offices of the Department of Agriculture, Agricultural Training Centers, Raitha Samparka Kendras, krishi Vignana Kendras and many education institutions are located in the project area. Villages will be selected from each selected taluk by considering the honeybee production potential. The Departments of Agricultural Economics, Apiculture, Agricultural Marketing and Business Management and Agricultural Extension of College of Agriculture, University of Agricultural Sciences, Bangalore will jointly operate the project.

THE FOLLOWING EXTENSION/OUT REACH ACTIVITIES WILL BE CONSIDERED AS PART OF THE PROJECT The project is a demonstration and training oriented programme for the rural SC and ST population for beekeeping to achieve economic security for social upliftment. a) Carrying out Participatory Rural Appraisal technique in the selected villages and also locating SC/ST households besides mapping the potential areas for honey bee rearing. b) Formation of SC and ST self help groups (SHGs) or using existing and active SC/ST self help groups. c) Capacity building of the selected SC/ST beneficiaries on scientific method of bee keeping. d) The exposure study tours will be organized to the established successful entrepreneurs in beekeeping and related aspects. e) Diffusion and popularizing the modern beekeeping in the field by conducting Method/Result demonstration. f) Networking of honey extraction, processing, packing and marketing. g) Working out the economics of the production unit. i) The critical inputs like bee hive, hiving cage, smoker, face veil, comb foundation sheets, honey extractor, etc., will be supplied to the selected SC and ST beneficiary families who fall under below poverty line (BPL), after successful completion of the training programme.
