Preface
Palghar district came into existence after bifurcation from
Thane district on 1st August, 2014 and became the 36th
district of Maharashtra. It is spread between the west coast
of the Arabian Sea and the Sahyadri Mountain rows which
are on the East and North boundaries of Palghar. The
district has a total of eight blocks, Mokhada, Talasari,
Vasai, Vikramgad, Palghar, Dahanu and Wada. It has
total 1008 villages and 10 cities covering the total area of
9558 sq. km. It has one Municipal Corporation, three
Municipal Councils and three City Councils (Nagar Panchayat). Palghar is a tribal district. Out of eight, six talukas of the district are tribal
dominated which are facing several issues such as malnutrition, infant mortality,
maternal mortality, inadequate water and sanitation facilities, migration and
limited opportunities of livelihood. To overcome above issues, the district
administration launched the umbrella scheme of Project Jankalyan (Project
Jankalyan).
Which includes following sub-schemes.
A. Project Arogya Vardhan
B. TREE (Tribal Rights, Expansion and Empowerment Programme)
C. Sampurna Seva Abhiyan (for implementation of Right to Service Act)
D. Krishi Kranti
The objective of the umbrella scheme of Jankalyan (PJK) is to enable common
people to avail benefits of various schemes by the government. While designing
the scheme, we tried to identify local issues and address them. For example, to
enhance livelihood opportunities in agriculture sector, we formed more than 5000
Farmers’ Groups and established 18 farmer producer companies in the year 2018.
The district also declared 964 Gram Panchayats as PESA villages. In livelihood
intervention programme, we established five Community Workshops while one
is on the implementation stage. We have also formed cluster of Mogra with end
to end linkages from farmer to market. We also have created an integrated village
cluster by the name Khunti Cluster. We have distributed around 179809 various
necessary certificates (caste certificate, income certificate, ration card etc.) under
Sampurna Seva Abhiyan. Under TREE programme we gave around 44,484 IFR
and 441 CFR. We have not only given them forest rights but also tried to develop
their lands by undertaking various soil and water conservation works and
horticulture plantation, more than 10,500 farmers were identified as beneficiaries
on whose farm we implemented horticulture plan under cluster development
scheme. This year we are planning to plant more than 2.5 lakh plants of
drumsticks to support their livelihood the major challenges of malnutrition and
mortality had been successfully tackled under the project Arogya Vardhan.
“964 Gram Panchayats are declared and notified under PESA. This open a new chapter in the history of the district. Tribal now have their effective say in local governance”.
TARAPA Instrument
In agriculture sector we have formed more than 5000 Farmers’ Groups and got them registered under ATMA. 18 farmer producer companies are formed in the year 2018. Around more than 90,000 farmers of the district got benefit of this initiative.

I’m confident that all our above initiatives have benefited majoring tribal
population of our district. Our objective is to enhance their quality of life.
I am thankful to all my officers and staff who toiled hard and helped us achieve,
desired target. Hon’ble guardian minister Mr. Vishnu Sawara and hon’ble health
minister Dr. Deepak Sawant have always been supportive. The vision of hon’ble
chief Minister acted as a guiding light. I am grateful to all those who have directly
or indirectly supported our cause.

boundary, while Vasai-Virar is part of Mumbai Metropolitan Region.
The district is the northernmost part of the Konkan lowlands of Maharashtra. It
comprises the wide amphitheatre like Ulhas basin on the south and
hilly Vaitarna valley on the north together with plateaus and the slopes
of Sahyadri. From the steep slopes of the Sahyadri in the east, the land falls
through a succession of plateaus in the north and centre of the district to the
Ulhas valley in the south. The distance from the parts of different palaces to

1st August 2014 and became the 36th district of Maharashtra the district has total
eight blocks named as Mokhada, Talasari, Vasai, Vikramgad, Palghar, Dahanu,
Wada, Jawahar. The Palghar is well known for a tribal district. Out of eight, six
talukas of the district are tribal dominated which are facing several issues such
as malnutrition, infant mortality, child and maternal mortality, inadequate water
and sanitation facilities, migration and limited opportunities of livelihood. Also,
people are not able to take benefits of government welfare scheme because of
lacking essential documents, awareness and illiteracy. In agriculture, marketing
is a major challenge before farmers. To deal with the above issues, the palghar
district administration launched the project named as- ‘Palghar Jankalyan
Project’ (PJP)- which brought the paradigm shift in development of this district.

3. Project Arogyavardhan
3.1. Introduction
The Arogya Vardhan project is defined out of
the shared vision of Mrs. Amruta Fadnavis,
wife of Honourable chief minister Devendra
Fadnavis and Palghar District Collector Dr.
Prashant Narnaware along with Mr Sampath
Ayer, Trustee Divyaj Foundation to address
health issues of women and child. Multiple
meetings had happened among project
partners to facilitate the process of project definition. These meetings took place
at various venues ranging from villages of
Palghar to residence of Honourable Chief
Minister. Many of these venue meetings also involved interactions with the
NGOs professional organizations and CSR group to provide their insights and
support for the project. For example, Mrs Amruta Fadnavis made a field visit to
Jawhar Block, Palghar to have first-hand understanding of the situation on 22nd
March, 2018. She visited two villages namely Dehare and Jamsar to assess MCH
status. She also attended the training sessions that were given to ASHA and
Anganwadi Sevikas.
Further, a long and pensive meeting was conducted with various district officials
to discuss, motivate and determine the path forward to deal with current
malnutrition problem in the district.
A meeting at “Varsha”, residence of Honourable Chief Minister of Maharashtra
was conducted with Mrs Amruta Fadnavis, Palghar District Collector, Palghar
CEO and Project officer of Palghar Tribal Development department on 29th
March, 2018. In this meeting, various NGOs and professional organization
representatives were also invited for discussion and formulation of project. A
main theme that emerged out of these interactions is the need for convergence
between health, ICDS, livelihood and sanitation.
Malnutrition and Maternal and Child Health (MCH) are important challenges for
the district. In case of women, some of the issues in common knowledge are as
follows: 1. Early drop out from school particularly girls,
2. Low haemoglobin levels,
3. Early marriages,
4. Lack of awareness regarding menstrual hygiene,
5. Lack of awareness regarding sanitation,
6. Lack of livelihood opportunities
7. Undernourishment
8. Lack of care during pregnancy

In case of children, some of the issues in common knowledge are as follows:
1. Poverty and hunger
2. Low birth weight
3. Infectious diseases (Water and vector borne diseases), etc.
4. Less parental care
Such multi-dimensional challenges require a multi-dimensional approach which
cuts across and converges various departments’ roles and resources to the
common objective of addressing MCH. This project approach consisted of:
✓ To generate funds to address the MCH issues
✓ To adapt various existing government schemes and programmes to the
local context of Palghar
✓ To design and implement new solutions, schemes and programmes
based on the local context of Palghar
✓ To enhance the rate of administrative processing of the budget and
proposals
✓ To motivate the staff for improving their performance
This approach is achieved by:
✓ Compartmentalized administration to integrated administration
✓ Converging different government departments mandates to the MCH
issue
✓ Bringing together all relevant government departments on same table
during implementation and monitoring process
✓ Collaboration and coordination with NGOs, CSR and private hospitals to address the MCH issue
✓ Reduce the number of vacant positions in the district
✓ Reduce communication gap within the administrative hierarchy
✓ Collabrating with state authorities to create customized solutions for
Palgha district

3.3. Target Beneficiaries
✓ Pregnant and lactating women, Children less than 6 years of age,
Adolescent girls, migrating families.
3.4. Implementation Strategy
✓ Seasonal migration of families: This led to frequent discontinuation of
various MCH services provided by the district to mother and children
3.4.1. Punaragman Shibir
Image no 3: Hon.Health Minister Dr. Deepak Sawant at Punaragman Shibir
Punaragaman Shibir is a very unique initiative of Palghar district in which special camps are organized for the migrant local population. The camps are
funded through Rashtriya Bal Swasthya Karyakaram (RBSK) and Non-
Communicable Disease Programme. These camps are timed with arrival of
migrant local population. Till date, 153 camps have been conducted and 4626
migrated child beneficiaries have been checked.

The main aim of the initiative is to reduce the MCH issues like non-institutional delivery, child deaths, IMR, MMR and SAM.

3.4.2. Special Camps for migrant population:
The DHO organized Special Health Check Up camps for the migrated
beneficiaries. One team consisting of one medical officers, Health Assistant,
ANM and Mukhyasevika (ICDS) is constituted at each block and their visits are
scheduled to the areas/districts where the people/beneficiaries migrated from
their block. The main areas/districts focused are Silvasa, Nasik, Thane, Dadra
and Nagar Haweli. The health teams visit these areas every alternate day till all
the beneficiaries return back to their native places. Till date, 118 camps have been conducted and 3606 migrated beneficiaries have been checked.
3.4.3. Increasing the opportunities of migrants:
The financial and non-financial incentives were given to the beneficiaries:
➢ Launching of Human Development Program (HDP) with funds
obtained from human development department. Under this program,
health check-up of pregnant mothers, breastfeeding mothers and 0-6-
month-old infants done through organized camps at all PHCs in 6 tribal
blocks of Palghar twice a month. The unique aspect of this program is
that it starts from picking-up the beneficiary from home, providing food
to beneficiary during the PHC visit and dropping back the beneficiary to home. In this camp, gynaecologist and paediatrician are provided for
performing check-up. Further, in this camp, mothers are also given
funds. These funds enable mothers to provide increased focus on their
and child health.
➢ Tie up with NGOs is done to operate Mobile Medical Unit (MMU) and
Sickle Cell Anaemia Unit while various essential funds and staff is
provided by the DHO
➢ Collaboration with NGO to conduct community visits for various IEC
activities.
➢ ICDS works with NGOs to celebrate various aspect of MCH, create
awareness among the adolescent girls and digitize reporting at field
level. A cultural programme is organized for the pregnant women of the community to create awareness about MCH related issues and needs
both among the pregnant women, her family members and overall
community. Similarly, awareness is created by organizing the event for
mothers with children about 6 months age who are about to have first
intake of food.
➢ Another initiative of the district administration is Godhadi Yojana,
which is funded through the Tribal Support Programme. Under this the
programme, the economic security of SAM and MAM children family
is focused. The mother accompanying their children to CTC and
Nutrition Rehabilitation centre (NRC) are trained in making Godhadi.
The Godhadi prepared by these trained women is purchased by the government. This provides income to women and Godhadi is used in
CTC and NRC. Further, the pregnant women will get additional facility
of free Godhadi worth Rs 550 during their institutional delivery which
was traditionally either borne by the pregnant women family or child
was exposed to hypothermia condition.

✓ Dr. Abdul Kalam Amrut Aahar Yojana (AKAAY): AAY
is focused on providing food both to pregnant and lactating mothers and 6 months to 6-year-old kids. Unlike hot cooked meal schemes, funds
are provided in advance to the field workers.
✓ Under the Sanjay Gandhi Unfounded Grant Scheme, financial assistance of Rs. 600 to 900 for family or beneficiary who’s
suffering from sickle-cell. ✓ Dependency on local traditional healers and mid-wives:
This lead too many patients missing out on the healthcare needed during
critical stages
3.5. STRATEGY
A. Bhagat Yojana: Under Bhagat Yojana, the traditional healers (Bhagat) is
paid to refer its patient to local PHC and not to give any treatment to any
patient. Further, district police stronger crack down on fake healers has
enabled better community involvement with health services. B. Dai Yojana: Under Dai Yojana, the traditional or skilled birth attendants/
midwives (Dai) is paid to refer its patient to local PHC and not to conduct
any delivery at home C. Outreach and Support Activities to make health institutions more
relevant D. Kishori Prashikshan Programme (KPP), adolescent girls are made aware
of the various physical and mental changes and needs that emerge as they
transition from childhood to adulthood. E. Home Based new-born Care (HBNC) intensified scheme was expanded
to whole district to identify, monitor and diagnose any health issue including
SAM and MAM. Such an approach ensures early detection of health issues
and proper and regular treatment and follow-up of child health issues.
F. Tuberculosis screening of 1098 suspected malnourished children was
performed and 37 confirmed cases were treated to prevent deaths.
G. 43 paediatric heart surgeries & 122 other paediatric surgeries done from
April to December 2017 under Rashtriya Baal Swasthya Karyakram
(RBSK).
H. Dattak Palak Yojana: In this scheme, Gramsevak and teachers are
given the responsibility of SAM child for one to one monitoring, and
progress is reviewed after every 15 days by block development officers
along with Taluka Medical Officer (TMO) and CDPO regularly.

I. Anti-Retroviral clinic is another initiative
of DHO which focuses on creating awareness among girls. In order to achieve this objective,
DHO conducted targeted visits like to Ashram
Schools for creating awareness. Further, DHO
uses its existing initiatives and resources like
OPD services, camps and Arogya Sevikas to
disseminate awareness among the girls. In case
of Arogya Sevikas, direct village visits are
conducted to create awareness
among girls and boys together.
➢ A public grievance cell is created in 2018 to better understand the
issues faced by the community and accordingly train and guide their
health staff to address those issues. ➢ The Child Treatment Centre (CTC) which is established at the rural
hospital and sub-district level in all over state is established at the PHC
level in Palghar district through ZP cess funds. These CTC normally
provide nutrition to the Severe Acute Malnutrition (SAM) children, but
in Palghar district, they provide nutrition to both SAM and Moderate
Acute Malnutrition (MAM) children. Further, another important aspect
of CTC is that the funds are provided in advance rather than after the
expenditure, which reduces the delays in operation due to funds
unavailability.
J. Matritva Sanwardhan Diwas (MSD): under which two days every month
all the pregnant and lactating women as well as children are given assured
complete MCH services at the PHC. Further, special vehicles are arranged
for these women and children pick up and drop. This is funded by the DPDC
through Navsanjivani Yojana.
K. The mid-day meal scheme that is operated under education department
normally suffers from major issue of food quality and quantity. While,
centralized kitchen is implemented at some places like Palghar Block, Wada
Block and Boisar to address this issue, district administration is enabling it to be implemented across the district to ensure the nutritional security of
children especially adolescent girls. Improve quality of PHCs and other
government health institutions

L. “Kayapalat” scheme was also launched, under which the PHC were
strengthened by procuring funds and support from local people as well as CSR groups to make them more attractive, informative and better services.
M. The implementation of Pradhan Mantri Surakshit Matritva Abhiyaan
scheme is done regularly in Palghar. In all health centres (PHC, R.H.,
S.D.H.) the check-up of pregnant mother is done at date 9 of every month.
Every month 2500 to 3000 mothers are benefited of this scheme.
N. The pregnant mother suffers from difficulties to reach the PHC timely for
delivery because there are many hilly areas and difficult roads are in tribal
areas as well as the absence of telephone network is also responsible. Due
to this, the death of mother or child can occur. To avoid this, the Mother
home scheme has been implemented. The staying facility, arrangement of
food, Medical check-up, advice of delivery and treatment facilities are
provided in Mother home. The residential facility is made available to
pregnant mother and her little child for safe delivery in medical centre. This
mother home is working at 4 PHC (PHC in Jawhar block, Sakharshlot PHC,
Aase PHC Mokhada in Mokhada block, Parali PHC in Wada, Kurse PHC in Vikramgad) in the district under National Health Mission. The construction
of mother home building is done in 9 PHC under Human development
program (PHC in Jawhar, PHC of Jamsar and Sakur, Khodala and Morhanda
PHC in Mokhada, Gorha PHC in Wada, Talwada PHC in Vikramgad, Ena
and Syvan PHC in Dahanu and Aamgaon PHC in Talasari). The
construction of Mother home in three additional PHC (Vashlala PHC in
Mokhada, Udhava PHC in Talasari and Ganjad PHC in Dahanu) is on
progress with the available fund under Human development programme for
2015-16.
O. Solography of Pregnant mothers: In the year 2015-16 and 2016-17, the
fund was arranged under Tribal solution scheme innovative program and the
facility of Solography is provided for pregnant mothers through private
radiologist/ gynaecologist. For 2016-17 the provision of Rs. 27, 18,275 is
done.
P. Sickle cell illness control program: Awareness activities is conducted at
different places like schools, villages, SHG and occasions like health camps
and festivals using various tools like slogan, banner, pamphlet, rath yatra,
street play.
Q. Under the National Child Health Mission, the check-up of 0 to 6 age group
children in anganwadi is done twice in a year and 6 to 18 age group children
in school is done once in a year. The treatment of ill children found during

of fund of 1, 20, and 00,000 and from the remaining of previous fund was
made available under the District Planning Committee (Innovative
Program). They focus on home-based management of children affected by
severe acute malnutrition (SAM) to provide them nutritious and energy
dense food. It is the first line of defence and those needing further treatment
should be sent to Child Treatment Centre (CTC) and Nutrition
Rehabilitation Centres (NRC).

3.6. Solutions on Fund Constraint
1. Additional funds from district level departments: Zilla Parishad (ZP),
District Planning and Development Committee (DPDC) and Tribal Support
Programme
2. Additional funds from state level departments: Human development
department Additional resources from state department: Health Department,
like sanctioning more resources for CTC and VCDC to enable benefit to
both SAM and MAM. “Kayakalp” scheme was introduced to provide financial benefit to the best performing PHC.
3. AAA (ASHA, ANM and Anganwadi Sevika) scheme was introduced at sub-
centre level to enable increased coordination between these critical field
agents and better functionality at ground. The Sub-centre who achieve
performance above a benchmark are given additional funds. Maharashtra
Emergency Medical Services (MEMS 108) provided assistance in deputing
total of 29 (6 Life Support Ambulance (ALS) & 23 Basic Life Support
Ambulance (BLS) in district Palghar) to avoid delay in referral services.
4. UNICEF also provided funds of Rs 83,06,646/- for set of activities (which
includes establishment of District Training Centre, training activities &
support for monitoring & supervision) to strengthen health & nutrition interventions & for capacity building for High IMR blocks.
3.7. Staff Guidance
3.7.1. Strategy 1. Filling of vacant posts: Many vacant posts of different health staff like
district project manager, medical officer and pharmacy officer were filled by the collectorate.
2. Incentives, trainings and financial support given to the staff: Special training
of ASHA and Health worker at PHC level is conducted regarding child
health. In another case, all health staff is trained in MCH protocols by state
level trainers by using audio-visual aids at Palghar and subsequently at block
training centre. In case of ICDS field staff, the number of trainings increased
by almost 12 times from around one per year to one per month. These
training sessions were conducted by either the NGO or government.
TARAPA Instrument
22
3. Impact India Foundation (IIF) in collaboration with ICDS is providing the
digital platform to anganwadi workers to collect the data.
4. Regular meetings are also conducted to review the MCH scenario. Child
Death review at block level is done every 15 days by TMO and district level
review by CEO every month. 5. Creative governance: The collectorate issued stencilling cards to
householders having SAM and MAM children. In each visit by health staff
the status of child is reviewed and if found critical then referred to higher
centres. This helps in improving supervision and monitoring.
6. Paperless PHC: Under this initiative, the patients visiting the PHC will be
given smart card rather than paper slip before visiting the PHC. The doctor
will enter all the details of patient in database and would help in creating a
complete digital health history of patient. This would help in better
understanding of patient medical condition.
7. “Kayakalp” scheme was introduced to provide financial benefit to the best
performing PHC. 8. AAA (ASHA, ANM and Anganwadi Sevika) scheme was introduced at sub
centre level to enable increased coordination between these critical field
agents and better functionality at ground. The Sub centre who achieve
performance above a benchmark are given additional funds.
3.8. Results
3.8.1. Child Mortality
Child mortality was 427 and 448 in year 2015 and 2016. The increase in child mortality rate was a major concern before district administration. Project Arogya
Vardhan aimed at improving health indicators especially for maternal and child
health. Child mortality project Arogya Vardhan helped to reduce child mortality
by 20% in year 2017.

3.8.2 Infant Mortality Rate (IMR) & Child Mortality Rate (CMR) 1. IMR has reduced by nearly 28% to 13 and CMR has reduced by nearly
32% to 17 over the last four years in the district
2. The percentage of fully immunized children is now around 99%.
3. The district MMR for last year was around 67 which has been less than
50% of the national MMR of 130 and is almost near the state average of
61. For current year the MMR is further reduced to 36.
Figure 6: SAM,MAM Children Indicator
2. Percentage of Institutional delivery increased from 91.8% to 98.7%.
The increasing trend has been observed in all the blocks of the district,
with Palghar (99.7%), Vasai (99.6%) and Wada (99.2%) achieving
almost 100% institutional delivery.
3. Almost 68% reduction in number of SAM reported per month from March, 2016 to Mar, 2018 and is extrapolated that by March, 2019 the
number of SAM reported per month could fall to 150 as compared to
nearly 900 in March, 2016. This is significant achievement.
4. The total number of child deaths has reduced from 626 in 2014-2015 to
469 in 2017-2018. Based on conservative estimate, it is expected that
the actual reduction in child deaths could achieve target of around 267
by 2018-2019.
5. The number of causes of child death were 25 before 2 years. Now the
death causes are reduced to 8 to 6. The district administration was able
to reduce deaths from major causes like birth asphyxia, septicaemia,
and accidents/injuries and unknown/snake bites. 6. As innovative measure, “Paperless barcode and token system” is being
implemented in all the 46 PHCs in the district to facilitate tracking and
maintenance of patient profiles using information technology.
7. Several health camps were organised including Mega Health Camp of
Kasa which benefited around more than 10000 beneficiaries.

3.9 . Impact of Project Aarogya Vardhan on MCH
Indicators
On the basis of the data obtained on various parameters it could be observed that
MCH status of Palghar has improved over the period of time. The percentage of
fully immunized children is now around 99%. The infant mortality rate (IMR)
and under five child mortality rate (CMR) has been consistently decreasing over
the last four years in the district (Figure 1). IMR has reduced by nearly 28% to
13 and CMR has reduced by nearly 32% to 17. Even in comparison with the state
and national performance, it is observed that district IMR has been at least 18%
less than the state IMR and at least 54% less than the national IMR. This reflects
the impact created by the various initiatives taken in the district. Further, the
district MMR for last four years is around 64 which has been less than 50% of
the national MMR of 130 and is almost near the state average of 61. The status
of MMR at previous was 67 and it has further decreased up to 36 now.
In regard of institutional deliveries, it has been observed that the percentage of
total deliveries happening in an institution has increased from 91.8% to 98.7%.
The increasing trend has been observed in all the blocks of the district, with
Palghar (99.7%), Vasai (99.6%) and Wada (99.2%) achieving almost 100%
institutional delivery. Further, none of the blocks have reported less than 90%
institutional delivery post 2014.

The nutritional status of the district since last two years has improved. It has been
observed that Palghar district has observed an almost 68% reduction in number
of SAM reported per month from Mar, 2016 to Mar, 2018 and is fore-casted that
by Mar, 2019 the number of SAM reported per month could fall to 150. The
number of MAM do not seem to decline over the period of time. It could be
possible as more and more SAM children are moved from SAM to MAM
category with better nutritional support from government.
Some could argue that the MCH issues trend has been declining from the start,
so it may be possible that the better results are obtained due to elapse in time.
The biggest contribution of this project has been the accelerated performance.
This could be observed by the fact that the number of child deaths that happened
in the district were much lower than those forecasted. While, the overall
reduction in the child mortality for the month of April and May 2018 has reduced
by 30% and 22% respectively. The forecasted fall in child mortality was around
five percent only which indicates that the project yielded around four to six times
greater fall in number of child mortality. This suggests that bundling of initiatives
could help in quicker achievement of MCH goals. Further, the total number of
child deaths has reduced from 626 in 2014-2015 to 469 in 2017-2018. The
forecast indicates that in 2018-2019, the number of child deaths should reduce
by meagre 7% to 435. However, based on conservative estimate of 18%
reduction through this Aarogya Vardhan project, it is expected that the actual
reduction in child deaths could achieve target of around 267.

8. Mogra Cluster
8.1 . Introduction
Mogra cultivation is one of the prime livelihood sources for farmers in
Palghar District. It provides good additional cash revenue although the
operations, specifically harvesting, is a strenuous activity. It involves
collecting entire yield of Mogra bud’s early morning usually in dark hours.
One of the long-term problems faced by these farmers is lack of scalability,
i.e. inherent inability to increase the number of plants from (approx.) 300
plants per farmer. In a study conducted by IIT Bombay (2017-18) with
support from Collector’s Office- Palghar, efforts were made to understand
the post-harvest technology intervention & its impact. Work in this phase
enabled to define design interventions (bud plucking device, solar powered
lamps & cold storage) to help solve these problems and in turn enhancing
the potential income generation. Of all the interventions designed & pilot
tested in Jawhar & Mokhada, cold storage unit with simplified operational
protocol has a promising potential to integrate in the further dissemination
across the district. The salient achievements were: reduction in drudgery
(not having to pluck the buds in wee hours of morning), increase in overall
Mogra bud quality (unbloomed buds & whiteness) & thus increasing
average annual income generation. With above narrated success of phase –
I trials, team IIT Bombay

Would now like to undertake Phase -II towards dissemination & acceptable
adoption of proposed cold storage technology-which, according to feedback by
the farmers, is most impact making. This proposal incorporates technical
improvements such as increased volume of cold storage units (400 lit to 500 lit)
& integrating PV based power system design & testing for its backup worthiness.
We propose to be ready with the alternative designs to test in winter season. The
data thus generated both for summer & winter months will be compiled and
consolidate the domain knowledge to emerge with clear recommendations.
Mogra Cultivation is one of the prime livelihood sources for farmers in Palghar
District. It is estimated about ~ 6000 small land holding farmers cultivate Mogra
in Palghar itself. While it provides good additional cash resource for farmers, the
operations, specifically harvesting is a strenuous activity, which involves
collecting entire yield of Mogra bud’s early morning usually in dark hours. One
of the long-term problems faced by these farmers is lack of scalability, i.e.
inherent inability to increase the number
of plants from (approx.) 300 plants per
farmer to say 600-1000.
8.2 . Problem Statement
Mogra cultivation is among major source
of secondary income for many small land
holding farmers in Palghar. These
farmers, often find it difficult to harvest entire yield of Mogra buds in available
morning hours, thus restricting the potential income

Generation. Our intervention essentially targets following problems faced by
farmer
1. Scaling-up from current average of 250 Mogra plants to about 600-900
Mogra plants
2. Providing valuable added time to harvest entire Mogra yield
3. Enabling grading of Mogra into 2 qualities before shipping to market
(adding economic value)
4. Ability to pluck Mogra in golden morning hours (i.e. from 7:30am to
11:30am) as opposed to dark morning hours (i.e. 4:00am to 6:30)
8.3. Proposed Solution
8.3.1. Device Description & Specification
A) Plucking Device

10. Livelihood Intervention Programme
10.1. Swayam Project
10.1.1. Introduction
Swayam is being implemented in 12 ICDS blocks of Palghar district. This is an
innovative project regarding livelihoods for women. Swayam is aimed at
encouraging poultry farming in the Tribal areas of the state. Through this project,
the government is planning to eradicate
malnutrition among the children,
especially in tribal areas of the district.
This project will also lead to strengthen
their economical background by
providing opportunities of employment
by selling eggs and chickens and their
by-products.
However, while implementing the
project, the district administration is
facing major challenges such as
extreme poverty, social behaviour of people, lack of interest in scheme and not
having faith on government policies. To tackle these issues, we planned to form
clusters of poultry. Through these clusters, the people can avail the facilities of
bank loans, awareness programmes, and
communication by means of Pashu Sakhi. The
Pashu Sakhi is the resource person for
communicating between clusters and Animal
Husbandry Department. Each cluster has 1 Pashu
Sakhi to help the SHGs and the whole cluster.
Through this collective cluster approach of the
district administration, phase 1 of the Project has
been completed. In Phase 1, we have given pullets
of 4 weeks to the beneficiaries. The provisions
were made to distribute surplus eggs to the
Aashram Schools and for marketing.

10.1.2 Community Workshop
Through this Innovative Project, the district administration has achieved the
objective of providing employment to rural women. We have established 5
Community Workshops in the entire district and one is under the establishment
process.
Total 258 women got livelihood opportunities through community workshops.
These workshops are owned by women
SHGs and are funded by the
government and CSR fund. The
women get training as well as regular
employment. This has improved their
confidence and also has strengthened
them economically

10.1.3. A Success Story of Community Workshop
In the view of the problem of drought and uncertain agricultural produce in the
rural areas, there is always a lack of employment for the local people. This results
in the migration of rural people to the urban areas in search of a stable source of
income. Their conditions are dire. The
administration has facilitated the construction of
“Palghar Vikas Dalan” in Palghar district jointly
through an entrance with Anita Dongare Foundation
at Dahanu. 38 women were given permanent
employment availability in the village to build a
Community Development Centre at the Tehsil
Modagava. In the centre, the women were given the
job training. Through this training, women were
offerred employment opportunities. They earned
Rs. 6 to 7 thousand a month. Anita Vilas Kanal was
trained in sewing training at Modagaon (Awarpada).
She has studied till 12th standard. The only
employment option available in the village was agriculture which was only
seasonal.
Before the training at the community centre, Anita had to visit various factories
at places like Boisar for wages. It is located 30 to 35 kilometers away from
Dahanu. Anita got the benefit of this community development centre. Due to the
formal training and the job opportunity, Anita now has a regular income per
month. She has expressed her gratitude towards the district administration for
helping her becoming financially stable.
