Ongoing Projects

The scope of the Integrated Tribal Livelihood Development Program includes promoting self-sustainability, enhancing agricultural productivity, providing irrigation facilities, supporting beekeeping and livestock rearing, and facilitating the collection and sale of non-timber forest products. The second phase of the Integrated Tribal Livelihood Development Program commenced in 2020 with support from NABARD. Implemented in 14 tribal hamlets of Karamadai Block, Coimbatore district, the program has focused on 10 villages during the reporting period.
Significant progress has been made towards self-sustainability, with 175 acres of tribal families' land becoming productive through the Wadi program. Horticultural plants such as cashew and mango have been successfully cultivated, and intercrops including vegetables, horsegram, and millets have been introduced for food security on 175 acres. Additionally, the program has facilitated the installation of 5 borewells and 2 solar power water pumps, ensuring reliable irrigation and drinking water facilities. Landless tribal families have been trained and supported in beekeeping, cow and sheep rearing, and the collection and sale of non-timber forest products such as tamarind, broomsticks, and other leaves.

The Nilgiris District is a vibrant tapestry of culture and tradition, home to several indigenous tribal communities like the Paniya, Kurumba, Kattunayaka, Mullu Kurumbas, Beta Kurumbas, and Irulas. However, these communities have historically faced significant challenges, including socio-economic marginalization and landlessness.
In partnership with NABARD and with the strong support of the Paniya, Kurumba, and Kaatu Naicker communities, we are dedicated to uplifting and empowering these populations. Our focus goes beyond just economic support; we are implementing a holistic approach that includes providing non-Wadi benefits and fostering diverse, sustainable income-generating activities.
Located in Gudalur, our project ensures efficient coordination and support for 21 remote tribal villages. By combining community needs and economic empowerment, the NMCT NABARD TDF projects aim to create a brighter and more inclusive future for the tribal communities of Gudalur.
