Better access to  Government Schemes

 IDA strongly believes in the convergence of efforts. Government has multiple schemes for the poor and underprivileged. But due to lack of awareness among the people about the schemes on offer, most people in the community failed to avail the facilities provided by the Government Agencies earlier. As part of its public responsibility of working with the communities in its operational area, IDA has made them aware of the various developmental schemes for the people. It facilitated various schemes like IAY, Biju Pakka Ghar Yojana, IHHL, AWC Building, Ration Cards to BPL and APL families, Pension to the Old and Widows and various farmers’ development schemes run by both the state and Central Government on a regular basis. IDA has also initiated various water supply and irrigation programme of government in its project areas. Through this effort 7000  families have benefitted through better access to social security schemes and support schemes to improve their living standard. Promotion and Income Generation Activities through SHGs IDA has groomed 1350 all-women Self Help Groups (SHGs) from the vulnerable families, providing trade specific income generation projects to make them good entrepreneurs and raising the level of their family income. 660 SHGs were trained in two specific trades, Food processing (preparation of Badi) and Animal Husbandry. Now 7 SHGs are involved in Badi making, 3 in Poultry Farming, 2 in Goat rearing and 10 in Mushroom Cultivation.
