The initiative aims to present an easy to use information resource on locally adaptable tools and techniques for rural households to enhance livelihood options. The objective of the initiative is to empower these women to diagnose and develop need-based preventive and remediation strategies for use in a timely manner. These contents are also significant for tribal areas of Bihar, West Bengal and Odisha. As part of this initiative, Vigyan Prasar has developed a Crop Calendar, a Compendium of vegetables and fruits, and the Recipe book to be used principally as training material. These training materials are to be utilised for providing training purpose to the agricultural extension workers, women workers in the grassroot level, Self Help Groups (SHGs), Krishi Vigyan Kendras (KVKs), and health care professionals.
