AddressHans Livelihood Project - Himachal Pradesh
BACKGROUND
In Himachal Pradesh, Horticulture and its allied sectors have emerged as one of the potential areas to accelerate the growth of the State economy and augment farmer's income. Nature has endowed Himachal Pradesh with a wide range of agroclimatic conditions due to which there is huge potential for the cultivation of high-value horticulture crops. Kangra district accounted for the highest share (22.01 per cent) of the total population in Himachal Pradesh. About 94.6 percent of the district's population lives in 3,619 villages and the district has a high population density of 233 persons per sq. km compared to the state density of 109 persons. Therefore, this district has huge potential in terms of production and market.
Lambagaon (Jaisinghpur) and Sulah (Palampur) are the selected blocks, where proposed livelihood interventions broadly address the economic security of people. A three-day consultative workshop was organized at Kangra district, where various stakeholders like farmers, officials from horticulture, livestock, bee-keeping, irrigation, banks, NGO, agriculture, ITI, and DIC participated. Based on the discussion and secondary data, the project activities are designed.
