A. Introduction
Agriculture is the backbone of the Indian economy, as it supports the rural livelihood security.
More than 60 percent of Indian population depends on agriculture and its allied fields. The
Green Revolution in the late 1960s resulted in the increase of productivity of major cereals in
irrigated areas and has transformed Indian agriculture from food deficit to becoming food
sufficient. Despite periods of strong growth in the past, currently this sector faces various
challenges like climate change, declining water availability, degradation of land, increased biotic
pressure, high cost of cultivation, environmental degradation etc. The Central and state
government have different schemes to benefit farmers. But the benefits of the schemes do not
reach the farmer nor are the majority of the farmers aware of the schemes.
We choose a beneficiary of custard apple for the case. Her name is Indra Bai she is a farmer and
her family consists of 2 sons, 2 daughters, husband and herself. She is from Harel Kala
belonging to a poor family of Udaipur district. We met her in their house, Farming is the main
occupation and she has 3 bigha of land. Total lands are unirrigated. She did not able to afford
food and her basic need most of the months. Apart from the farming for better livelihood she
collects the Custard apple from forest. On conversation with her she told she sometimes used
to get employ as daily wage labor. She was also interested in activity at village level such as
SHG, Village organization (vo) due to which she belong from the Bhairav SHG. She sold 560 kg of
A grade fruits and 105 kg of B grade Fruits and earned up to 7500 to 8000 /- She put her fruit in
the VLCC (Village level Collection Centre). They spend her money on Cloth, health and festival
and save some money. She bought a cow from that savings. She had also taken loan from
relative. She was telling that she collects the Fruits from forest and faced various problems but
now she is happy.

When they went for collection of fruits they face many types of challenges:- the main Problem
is the climbing to the mountain and come down with high weight of fruits. She was always
afraid of wild animals, mosquitoes and Snakes of forests. When the mediators or agent are
comes of fruits is also a big problem for her. VLCC centre did not give the money on time it
takes sometimes one month. Due to unavailability of caret at center her fruits are also got
wasted.

When SRIJAN is not comes there are many types of problems faced by the villagers the main
problem is to getting money, peoples did not able to take loan, and not only has this money
lender exploited them. She did not know about the concept of SHG, VO, Cluster, Ghumar
Federation etc. Their family quarreled among themselves and wastes their time here and there
they did not aware about any work and she also did not know about the various schemes such
as MGNAREGA, Jan dhan yojana, Sarv Shiksha Abhiyan etc. of government. Due to unawareness
of schemes they did not have the job and less job opportunity. She also hesitates to go any
government offices for any needs and requirements. She did not aware about the clean
environment and good health hygiene. Before her fruits were getting wasted due to un
availability of VLCC at various places etc.

When the SRIJAN is comes it solved their problems and give the knowledge about the different
sectors, Livelihood and Livestock. The main problem of money get solved, she getting loan from
