UNDER SDG 1 & 2 : NO POVERTY AND HUNGER

IRDRP is working to reduce poverty and hunger through Sustainable Agriculture. We encourage farmers to do natural farming by not using Chemical fertilizers and Chemical Pesticides. We give small cash awards to farmers to produce black Gouwni rice which has good protein and controls diabetic diseases. One Kilogram rice cost 200-280 Indian Rupees equal to 8$ but ordinary rice cost Rs.30-50 Indian Rupees equal to less than One dollar. Hence it is more profitable to farmers as well as people. We also encourage landless farmers to do kitchen garden cultivating vegetables and greens as small business and self supports system. 

We supported post tsunami program for coastal communities, we gave milch animal to 30 dalit women to start dairy farming. We insured all animals and women collect all cow milk and supply to Government society, Government appreciated their effort and sanction 30 cows for them. Each family has now 2 cows. Women earning monthly Rs.8000/- as profit. 

We are producing Reusable cloth menstrual pads, single use low cost menstrual pads, and Maternity pads as income generation projects. We sale for minimum cost without any profit and promote safe Menstrual periods.
