6. Project Summary :

India has a pluralistic healthcare system including Ayurveda, Yunani and

Siddha. Indian herbal industry is at blooming stage, however, cultivation of

medicinal plants is not so easy. There is a need for scientific approach for

propagation of medicinal plants and to collect relevant information regarding

agro- technology, genuine planting material, economics, high yielding varieties

etc.

Withania somnifera, also known as Ashwagandha, Indian ginseng, or

Winter cherry, is a plant belonging to the family- Solanaceae or nightshade

family. It grows as a short shrub (35–75 cm) with a central stem from which

branches extend radially in a star pattern (stellate) and covered with a dense matte

of wooly hairs (tomentose). The species name somnifera means "sleep-inducing"

in Latin.

The plant is cultivated in many of the drier regions of India such as

Mandsaur District of Madhya Pradesh, Punjab, Sindh, and Rajasthan. It is also

found in Nepal. It is grown as late rainy season (kharif) crop. Semi-tropical areas

receiving 500 to 750 mm rainfall are suitable for its cultivation as a rainfed crop.

Withania somnifera is prone to several pests and diseases. Biodeterioration of its

pharmaceutically active components during leaf spot disease has been reported.

The root of the plant have been recommended for high cough and in female

disorders. It is also useful in all types of skin lessions, ulcers and boils and in

reducing pus formation and inflammation. It is an important drug in the treatment

of rheumatic pain, inflammation of joints and in certain paralytic condition. It is

also known to stimulate sex impulse and improve sperms. A major alkaloid

withanin has marked sedative and hypnotic action. Crystalline principle

‘withaferin A’ has been obtained from leaves and is reported to process

significant antibiotic properties.

Rauwolfia serpentina, or 'snakeroot' or 'sarpagandha' is a species of

flowering plant in the family Apocynaceae. Plant is widely used medicinally both

in the Modern Western Medical system and also in Ayurveda, unani and folk

medicine. Rauwolfia serpentina contains a number of bioactive chemicals,

including yohimbine, reserpine, ajmaline, deserpidine, rescinnamine, serpentinine.

It has been used for centuries for the relief of various central nervous system

disorders, both psychic and motor, including anxiety states, excitement, maniacal

behavior associated with psychosis, schizophrenia, insanity, insomnia and

epilepsy. Extracts of the roots are valued for the treatment of intestinal disorders,

particularly diarrhoea and dysentery and also as an anthelmintic. Mixed with other

plant extracts, they have been used in the treatment of cholera, colic and fever. In

India and Nepal, it is a common treatment for hypertension and insomnia.

This project is aimed on creating awareness among the targeted population

of villages in Gorakhpur district of U.P. Propagation techniques, cultivation of

Withania and Rauwolfia and product development such as aromatic oil and herbal

health products and to develop entrepreneurship skill. This in turn will contribute

revenue generation and economic independence of the target population and their

economic empowerment. The developed products will be marketed by the trained

groups through the local market tie-up and Ayurveda drug companies.

PART III: TECHNICAL DETAILS OF PROJECT

10. Introduction (under the following heads on separate sheets)

a. Details of Rural Population:

According to 2011 census, the Gorakhpur district, U.P. has a population of

4,436,275 of which male and female were 2,281,763 and 2,154,512 respectively.

Total area under Gorakhpur district is of about 3,321 sq.km.

Average literacy rate of Gorakhpur in 2011 were 73.25 while male and female

literacy are 84.38 and 61.54 respectively. Total literate in Gorakhpur District were

2,813,408 of which male and female were 1,661,592 and 1,151,816 respectively.

With regards to Sex Ratio in Gorakhpur, it stands at 944 per 1000 male. The

economy of the district is mainly depending on agriculture; out of 100 workers in

the district 27 are engaged in primary sector.

b) Details of the project focusing on field demonstration / extension oriented

activities with little R&D components’ if needed.

In the present project medicinal plants will be cultivated employing latest

agro and post harvest techniques and value added products such as extracts,

herbal juices, and essential oils will also be developed scientifically. Such quality

herbal and aromatic products will have good market potential. Training and

awareness will be given to target groups, on these scientific methods of

cultivation and product development. Such training will promote entrepreneurial

development among the target society. Present project is also aimed at integrating

science and business and the issue associated with bringing innovation from the

lab to the market. Cultivation of commercially viable medicinal aromatic crops

will be taken up in lands which are not cultivated due to lack of irrigation

facilities and funds. Irrigation will be provided for these plants through sprinkler

and drip irrigation which promotes minimum use of water with maximum

efficiency. Biopesticides and vermi-compost will be used during the course of

entire project. This promotes eco-friendly and environment friendly agriculture

practice. Value added products developed from such an organically grown

medicinal plants will enhance quality of life, and provide large scale earnings and

higher employment opportunities to the target groups. Due to high price and lack

of non-availability of plantlets, the poor farmers cannot afford to cultivate the

medicinal plant. A cluster of activities are planned such as standard cultivation

practices of medicinal plants, processing, packaging, cold storage, administration,

and marketing services, which will be taken up under one roof at implementing

organization.

Scientific awareness programmes as planned in the project will create

confidence among the farmers of Self Help Groups (SHGs) and Others, and the

need to enter the medicinal plant cultivation, marketing and product development.

Training courses are planned for the target groups, which will facilitate practical

interaction with the Chemists and biotechnologists and leading herbal drug users

and manufacturers. This could be beneficial to the entire target group and are sure

to create an improvement in their income generation and their living standards.

Marketing strategies will be evolved for the plant cultivation by the target

community and for the bio products developed by them. The plants selected for

the present project are Withania somnifera and Rauwolfia serpentina. The herbal

products that are planned to be developed are Medicine, juice extract, processed

plants extract powder. Herbal products like crude powder and other raw material

will also be developed from the plants cultivated by the selected community.

c) How the target groups get benefited form this?

The projects may provide superior high yielding clones of medicinal

plants to the rural farmers and improve their economic status. It promotes the

individuals to develop a self-employment income generation. Application of this

technique provides generation of additional income and employment opportunity

to the target population. Target population will develop skills in medicinal plant

farming and product development. Market tie-ups will be arranged with leading

herbal industries which will ensure their economic growth.

Initially, 25 farmers will be selected and 1000 plantlets to each farmer will

be distributed. Likewise, after 3 months period another group of 25 farmers will

be selected for supply of healthy plantlets grown through mass propagation.

At the end of the project duration 300 farmers (four batches of 25 each for

3 years) will be benefited. In addition to this the valuable suggestions will be

provided to the target population for maintaining of the elite clones and marketing

the tissue culture plantlets to the other farmers. They will be trained in marketing

strategies which will shed their inhibition to grow medicinal plants and they will

become model medicinal plant farmers and the message will spread and prompt

other farmers to follow their path.

Benefits are as follows:

1. Farmers will grow medicinal plants and produce value added products

2. Mitigate seasonal migration from villages

3. Increase socio-economic status to each family of the target villages.

d) Objectives :

1. To conduct survey, bring awareness and identify marginal farmers willing to

undertake cultivation of Withania somnifera and Rauwolfia serpentina and

produce nutrient rich bioactive product to prevent diseases and health disorder.

2. To improve the skills of 300 identified farmers through training and

demonstration on eco-friendly based cultivation of medicinal plants with their

sustainable agrotechniques and tissue cultured plantlets of medicinal plant,

Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) and Sarpgandaha (Rauwolfia serpentina) in

the field and demonstration in the premises of University Botanical Garden to

improve their economic status

3. To impart training and demonstration to the cultivators/ farmers in target group

including conservation, post harvest technology including drying, garbling,

packaging, storing of Withania somnifera and value addition to the product of

Rauwolfia serpentina .

4. To bring awareness about organic cultivation using appropriate agro-technology

vermi-compost, bio-fertilizers and bio-pesticides.

5. To form Bioresource centre and SHG to train the beneficiaries for better

processing, value addition and marketing for their sustainability

d) Details of project implementation site (as far as possible should be in the

vicinity of targeted population and should not be concentrated at PI’s

Institute).

The project will be implemented in 8 blocks covering 25 villages of

Gorakhpur District of U.P. and the Department of Botany, DDU Gorakhpur

University, Gorakhpur. Botany Department is having sufficient space for

developing poly house/green house. The training programme will incorporate

training awareness and field demonstrations. The trainees will be given the

knowledge of tissue culture/ agro- techniques, post harvest techniques and value

added products such as extracts, herbal juices, and essential oils will also be

developed scientifically. They will be taught to prepare low cost but effective

plantlets in field as well as laboratory conditions.

a) Methodology

The proposed project has six components:

i) Selection of site: Twenty five (25) villages will be identified based on their

size, approachability, population structure these sites may be selected for this

project. From these villages 300 of potential candidates will be selected.

ii) Awareness programme: After selecting the sites, an awareness and

orientation programme will be arranged at target villages. As far as possible

this programme is intended for all appropriate families in the village. Initially,

a detail of project work and its benefits will be explained to the villagers. We

expect the response to be good as adjacent villages have benefited in an earlier

project.

iii) Training programme: The selected population will be provided training in

tissue culture of medicinal plants and hardening in green house. They will also

be given an intensive training on herbal extraction, production technology and

value added product of Withania somnifera and Rauwolfia serpentina

iv) Demonstration Programme: Field demonstration of cultivation of medicinal

plants through organic farming by preparing vermicompost at their village.

v) Product formation and marketing of the products: The technology will be

given only to the people who have real interest in the development of the

value added product of Withania somnifera and Rauwolfia serpentina and

who have confidence in the marketing. The marketing of developed products

will be done through the selected groups and Tie-up with Ayurvedic medicine

production units to develop good marketing strategies and improvement.

12. Linkage with S & T institution in case of NGOs :

Linkages between the implementing agencies and buying agencies like different

Pharmacy companies, and drug manufacturers will be developed in addition to

Local Herbal Institutes, CSIR Labs and ICAR Institutes.

13. Details of the involvement of target population in the project along with

training component so that technology transfer could be done:

It is proposed to train 300 trainees of area under this project from

Gorakhpur region. The trainee will be selected preferably from those villages

where the potential is available. From selected village trainee will be selected.

Thus during the training program many villages of the district will be covered for

self-employment and income generation activity through training in tissue culture,

cultivation, juice extraction, oil extraction and marketing of the agricultural &

value added products. It is imperative that technology taught to them will be

transferred in the field.

Steps will be taken to enhance the marketing strategy and to provide links

between project groups and buying agencies By exposure of these industries

target groups will be encouraged to start small scale industries of their own and

generate their own income which in turn will improve their living standard.

14. Detailed raw material/local resources needed in the project and/or available.

For the purpose of training and demonstrations of tissue culture techniques

and cultivation of medicinal plants, local materials like fertilizers can easily

available from local market.

14. Justification for implementation of the project with full details as to how the

target population will be involved.

Gorakhpur District is lying between Maharjganj Terai in north and river

Ghaghra in south. The district is densly populated. Over population,

unemployment and poverty are the main challenges. Lying in the Gangetic plane,

the soil is highly fertile and hence the agriculture is the main source of livelihood

for the most of the people. Traditional agriculture instead of economic has

brought farmers of this region in a very miserable condition which has led to

exodus of people to other places of country in search of employment. The

agriculture is not organised. It is not the extra source of income. The selected

community belongs to low income farming group and their income is not self-

sustainable, hence the present project is planned and aimed at improving their

earnings and living standards through promotion of entrepreneurial development,

through cultivation, value addition, product development and marketing of select

medicinal plants. This project aims to enhance the income of the farmers making

them self employed and bringing the primary section to a fruitful condition.

Technical farming and consequent marketing will lead to revenue generation for

the marginal farmers and in future will enhance their living standard. The

unemployment and poverty can be alleviated to a certain extent and huge

manpower can be used in a productive way. This programme will provide them

not only the technical knowledge but also provide them visits and interactions

with the executives of herbal industries for marketing of their value added

products which may create awareness among them as how to extra income

through economic farming and uplift their standard of living.

16. Indicate whether the project will help in maintaining environmental /

ecological balances.

This is an eco-friendly programme, which will help in producing greenery

in the area of programme site. Since this is a training and demonstration

project, there will be no environmental /ecological degradation or destruction.

Secondly after the training the trainee will motivated to use organic fertilizers and

application of bio-pesticides, therefore there will be no cause of environmental /

ecological problems. Soil and air pollution will be prevented through such eco-

friendly organic cultivation methods. The produce and the value added products

developed will also be eco-friendly.

17. Details of employment/revenue generation through the project in long

term/development of entrepreneurship:

The poor farmers and weaker section trained under this project will be

motivated to cultivate the medicinal plant and increasing their income. Thus the

outcome of this project will promote to develop self-employment and

entrepreneurship among the trained lot.

It is expected that the trainee should start the cultivation of medicinal

plants independently after completion of the training. The reduced input cost and

enhancement of total production by maximum exploitation of the available

resources are the main features of this project. So cultivation of the medicinal

plants and marketing of herbal products would enable entrepreneurship

development, revenue generation and economic independence of the target

population. After harvesting and marketing of the high yield the target population

is expected high returns. As a result the economic status will be improved.

At the end of the project it is expected that 200 farmers would be

undertaking cultivation in half a hectare are by cultivating Ashwagandha and

Sarpgandha there by bringing 10 hectare cultivation which would produce 40

tonnes of wet material of Ashwagandha and 10 tonnes of Sarpgandha with a net

income of Rs. 90,00,000.00- with buy back arrangement made by the Lab and

with the purchasers.

18. Techno-economic viability/cost benefit analysis (to include cash flow, working

capital management, pay back period etc.)

The project will support both technical as well as economic assistance to

the target population for their progress. The extension and R & D process in the

recent past has provided for intensification and diversification of culture practices

in a big way. This project will provide self-employment to poor and unemployed

farmers. The over all economic conditions of these village will improve through

this project.

19. Comment on the possibilities of the activity becoming self sustainable

In due course of time it is expected that this activity will become self-

sustainable since the technology taught to the elders of the family will be

transferred easily to the generations to come. Technology for the production and

value addition available with the implementing organization will be transferred to

the community. Value added products would be from the medicinal plants they

cultivate. By the activity of the projects target population will not only become

familiar with cultivation practices but also with marketing through motivation and

interaction with the executives of the herbal companies. The main idea of this

project was to provide economic and technical assistance to the very poor farmers

so that they can be self employed in their own village. So this project will

ultimately provide self-employment to farmers. The trained farmers will be able

to train others in the future even after completion of the project. This and rest will

be taken care by farmers themselves in future for much longer duration.

20. Information about the economic/skill status of the target population

Most of the rural population is presently living below the poverty line.

They are mostly illiterate and possess no knowledge of scientific methods. This

target population has tremendous skill and manpower to provide if proper training

and economic assistance can be given. They are all farmers and majority of them

have some land and have capability of growing medicinal plants if proper training

is given to them. So these target populations have all the skill and potentialities

but do not have good economic status. So if we can provide them the technical as

well as economic assistance then they can be self employed and overall economic

situations will improve in this village. Therefore the farmers want high value

crops to grow with their value added products to enhance their income.
