    STUDY OF SELF HELP GROUPS ENGAGED IN ENTREPRENEURIAL ACTIVITIES (INDIVIDUAL/GROUP) AT BADLAO FOUNDATION
    (Birsa Agricultural University, Kanke, Ranchi, Jharkhand, 2010) Kerketta, Jenet; Ansari, I. A.
    From the study, following conclusions were drawn:-  It was found that members were active and some of them became a success story due to enhanced higher family income which led towards an improved quality of life, as they had some important entrepreneurial abilities.  The knowledge, awareness and practices associated with entrepreneurship in rural areas is less as compared to the urban area. An important reason was, as Agriculture was the primary source of livelihood, hence they were engaged in it and at off-season when they did not do Agricultural practices, then only they were involved in ―Petty Businesses‖, such as, Leaf-Plate Making, Bidi Making, Selling of Forest Products like- Seasonal Fruits etc. Although there exists some impact of urbanization in Jitwabahiyar Village of Karnpura Extension Centre, still it remains cocooned within the boundaries of illiteracy, unawareness and poverty.  There were some challenges because entrepreneurship is a package of characteristics. Every entrepreneur may not have all the characteristics, but it is a fact that ―entrepreneurs are not only born they can be developed too‖.  Most of the SHGs members were very curious about ―Group Business Plan‖ and took interest as they could get an opportunity to become self-dependent.

    NURSERY TECHNIQUES FOR RAISING QUALITY SEEDLINGS FOR FORESTRY PLANTATION
    (Birsa Agricultural University, Kanke, Ranchi, Jharkhand, 2010) Rajan, Chandra Jit; Singh, R. P.
    Project on “Nursery Techniques For Raising Quality Seedlings For Forestry Plantation” was carried out in Society for Rural industrialization and social transformation initiatives (SRISTI) at Patna during 2010. The specific objective of the study were to Study the advantages of different types of Root Trainer Technology, to examine the use of different types of Root Trainer, to Study the Seed Management in Root Trainer Technology, to find out the use of Fertilizer and Compost and to Study about the Sowing Techniques. Sristi foundation patna was selected purposively for the project work. The finding of the project work indicates that for plantation of the any forest, tree is necessary before the plantation in the field. There were mainly two types of nursery that is dry nursery and wet nursery. Wet nursery this is according to moisture and according to time temporary nursery and permanent nursery. The best technology for nursery raised is the root trainer technology. Root trainers are increasingly being used to deal with the problem of root coiling and distortion. Soil is treated with fertilizer, pesticide and weedicide. These are organic as well as inorganic. In soil microorganism also play important role. For the raising of Nursery first, we do seed sowing after that these germinated seed are picking out and transplanting and then cooling. After the raising of seedling transplant into hardening chamber and then transfer to Nursery bed. After that it is ready for transplantation. The main morphological indicator of quality seedlings are high diameter sturdiness root system dry wet ratio.

    Lac, resinous exudation from the bodies of females of a species of scale insect Kerria lacca, from which shellac is prepared. India is the chief source of shellac.Lac has several applications in pharmaceuticals, confectionery, food coatings, electrical, lac dye, lac wax etc. India, which is the highest producer of lac, contributes around 55% of the total world requirement. The country exports around 80-90% of its production.Jharkhand alone contribute 59% of national lac production. This paper attempts mainly to focus importance of lac-cultivation in the livelihood of tribal people in rain-fed area of Jamtara district in Jharkhand. The study was undertaken in five villages of Jamtara Block, namely Dahartola, Charedih, Rupaidih, Sinjotola, Saurimundu. Number of families involved in lac growing, their income from rangeeni broodlac, production of rangeeni and kusumi broodlac, income after and before NAIP project, expenditure involved and employment generated from lac cultivation and the migration status were determined by sampling technique by randomly choosing 45 farmers. The number of families involved in lac growing activities increased with time. Among the major host trees (kusum, palas and ber), palas was found to be pioneer, major and the most preferable host plant. The study shows the final results after adopting Lac cultivation it has provided them a good income (approximately ten thousand from each of the village), rangeeni is a predominant crop which constitutes about 98% of total lac, the average income coming before lac cultivation was nil and income coming after adopting lac cultivation is approximately ten thousand to fourteen thousand per family, the expenditure involved in lac cultivation which provided them profit of approximately thirty thousand, Lac cultivation is providing them approximately 227 days of employment, and shows slight variation in migration status which is not very significant.

In this context, different projects addressing the same problems were launched in these districts by NAIP and some other agencies. Godda is one of those districts, and a similar kind of project named “Up scaling livelihood of forest based communities through enhanced farm productivity efficient support systems” was launched under NAIP and to be implemented by AFCL and 3 other co-partners in middle of 2009, aimed to most deprived forest based communities, mostly populated in this district. By launching this project, It was not only tried to solve their livelihood issues, but also tried to conserve the environment. These communities are dependent upon forests for their each and every need and thus cut trees frequently. When they will have other sources for their income in their hands, they will not move to spoil forests, which they usually do, It was thought. Various innovative approaches were applied to make sustainable livelihood models, thus it is also a research project. Presently, this project has already completed 2.5 years of its total project life and gradually moving towards accomplishing its goals. A total of 13 interventions are being practiced to provide them better livelihood options , which can sustain forever. The uniqueness of this project are forest based communities, SHG mode of operation, market arrangements by project functionaries, Involvement of beneficiaries at management level and involvement of project functionaries in each activity upto extent possible.
