SRI P VENUGOPAL REDDY

Chairman

Ekalavya Foundation has been operating with time tested principle of solving village level issues through collective action of the local communities from the past 17 years and it has been quite successful. We have established the ‘Village Development Committees (VDCs)’ in several villages and inculcated the culture of organizing monthly meetings for the same. Successfully running the meetings and participation of villagers in development activities in the project villages of Ekalavya Foundation shows their journey towards self-reliance. Nature has enough for our need but not for our greed. We thought about utilizing resources properly and handing over them to future generations.

Before the provision of Goatery, our family was suffering from poverty. Under the livelihood development project undertaken by NABARD, I was granted by a goat rearing unit with 6 numbers. Now, I have grown them to 18 goats and generated income from the unit. This intervention has transformed my life, giving the opportunity to uplift from poverty and taking steps towards a more secure and prosperous life.

Ekalavya Foundation transformed my life and laid the platform of mechanized carpentry work by modifying the traditional method of practice. By their interventions, now I’m earning 25,000 Rs per month from a scale of 5000 Rs. I thank this organization from the bottom of my heart who helped me in construction of my new home through these savings.

Initially my family used to depend only on small scale agriculture land and generate income. We used to struggle financially due to mono cropping of cotton cultivation. Now, due to the intervention of Ekalavya Foundation, we are generating income from this provided mini provisional store and performing multi cropping by watershed activities. I’m grateful to this organization for upgrading our financial status and transforming lives.

Recognizing the demand for paper plates, Ekalavya Foundation suggested to me the establishment of a paper plate making unit as a second income generation opportunity for my family. Acting on this recommendation, I set up the unit, which has been running successfully ever since. The intervention has had a transformative effect on Athram Nagorao's life, giving him the opportunity to uplift herself from poverty and take steps towards a more secure and prosperous future.
