Adopting integrated approach for livelihoods – Augustina Tudu

Augustina belonged to a low-income family, which has no agricultural lands. Her husband works as a carpenter and was the sole earning member of her family. Before her marriage, she was inspired by the work of a local voluntary organisation named as Loka Kalyan Parishad, that was working on livelihood development in her parent’s village. She got an orientation on Community Managed Sustainable Agriculture (CMSA), SHG formation, and Kitchen Garden from that organisation. After the orientation, she formed an SHG in her village and practiced Kitchen garden in her backyard.
