 Acquaintance with the agro-based
industries for imparting more
professionalism in learning.
Developing communication & skill
through presentation, interaction &
demonstration .
Development of confidence for facing

 Participatory learning approach
It is an two way communication asapproach which aims to
incorporate the knowledge and opinions of rural people in the
planning and management of development of projects and
programmes and decession making.

The basic techniques used include:

Understanding group dynamics e.g. through learning contracts,
feedback.
Surveying and sampling e.g. transect walks, wealth ranking,
social mapping
Interviewing e.g. Group discussion
Community mapping e.g. Social mapping, timelines

A CASE STUDY ON POULTRY
REARING IN OUR VILLAGE
PROP.: ASHIM DAS & SASHIM DAS

100
AREA : 3 Katta owned

INFRASTUCTURE : 3+1=4 room at 20 Katta land, Combined Feeding Tray, Heater,

Fans.

NO. OF CHICKS : 900- 1000 PER LOT

KEY ACTIVITIES : Rearing of chicks by feeding, growing, medication &

vaccination and selling them to “Hi- tech” when they are around 2 kg
each(avg.).

LABOUR: 2 family labour.

101
 COST AND BENEFIT
 A Chick on an avg. is 2 kg.
 The chick is obtained from the “Hi- tech” Company.
 Company bears the cost of feeding, medication and vaccination,
fees of the Doctor visited, transportation.
 Owner bears the charge of electricity, taxes and other
maintenance and operational charges.
 Sells @Rs. 6-10 per kg. ( Obtain more rate during Winter.)
 Sells 8 lots of 2500 chicks through out a year to Supri.
 Spends INR 3 per kg of chicks for rearing.
 Net income is 54,000 INR p.a.
 Total cost is 42,000 INR p.a.
 Net benefit is 96,000 INR p.a.

 DRAWBACKS (ACCORDING TO THE OWNER)
LACK OF EXPERT GUIDANCE AND SUPPORT.
 INFESTATION OF SEVERAL DISEASES, MAINLY VIRAL DISEASES,
SPECIALLY DURING WINTER.

OUR SUGGESTIONS
TO CONTACT THE MOTHER COMPANY
FOR TECHNICAL SUPPORTS.
TO CONTACT W.B.U.A.F.S. AND B.C.K.V.
FOR EXPERT GUIDANCE.

105
 FUTURE PLAN
 He wants to expands his business.
 He wants to set up new rearing hub.
 He wish to start hatching chicks.

SUCCESS
EARNING HIS LIVELIHOOD AND
MAINTAINING HIS FAMILY EXPENSES
THROUGH PROFIT EARNED BY REARING
CHICKS.
HE IS NOW BUILDING A PACCA HOUSE
FROM THAT PROFIT.

In winter’s chill,
Or summer’s heat,
FARMERS work hard,
So, the world can eat.

 SELF HELP GROUP[SHG]

❑ Self help groups are informal association of people with similar socio-
economic background who choose to come together to improve their living
beings & collectively perform a common purpose.

Help groups and also the women of this village has become self dependent by taking
the membership of the groups.As per examples,
• Now they are making the ladies ornaments and bags by using loan with 1%
interest and selling the products to nearby markets and earning enough profit.
• Mrs. kakali Mondal , also the member of the group has started poultry farming .
