Objective:-
» Enhancement of agricultural productivity and profitability through
proven technological intervention.
» Management of natural resources.
» Employment generation through agro processing, value addition including
storage, packaging,
transport and marketing
» Empowerment through capacity building and skill upgradation.
Outcomes:-
» Livelihood security: Enhancement of employment
to >200 man days, including both farm and allied
sectors. Each clusters (Total 6) having a band of highly motivated, skilled
and activity linked
well-organized rural masses, taking pride and hope in rural livelihood.
» Food and nutritional security:
Bridging the existing gap and offsetting the deficit in food and
nutritional security (deficit in pulses - >60%, Oil seeds - >80% and
vegetables - > 40%), due to
diversification to oil seeds, pulses, vegetables, fruits and milk products
and enhancement
in production.
» Energy security: Energy plantations
on community land will impart energy security by improving
availability and reducing cost of expenditure. The involvement of
technologically qualified young
people will promote rural entrepreneurship and
reduce out migration.
» Environment security: Improved
watershed characteristics for water harvesting of at least 30
percent of available runoff. Enhancement of perennial vegetation cover to >40
per cent, organic
matter turnover by 60 per cent and improved soil productivity. Reduced
exploitation of natural
resources beyond their carrying capacity, thereby
preventing degradation and ensuring better

organized self-help
groups for women.
» The modules of management developed with respectto prioritized farming

» Agro-processing and value addition based on
commodity-product-packaging-marketing approach, and
interlinked entrepreneurship will be a major out come contributing towards
livelihood security.
» Inbuilt cross cluster advantages due to exchange and visits, periodic

activities, a platform for technology
and product exchange and providing interface opportunity for stakeholders.
These technology
dissemination centers are also expected to update the knowledge of more than
5000; families, which
will ultimately lead toward higher adoption rate and thereby atleast20
percent income of the targeted
