About the Solution

This solution by Professional Assistance for Development Action (PRADAN) follows a guide on how to establish a backyard poultry with pure desi birds. Desi birds require lesser investment, drudgery, are more climate & disease resilient, and are can be adopted by poor households and vulnerable sections of the populace. 

These Desi backyard poultries provide supplemental income to farmers, are an effective source of livelihood for ultra-poor households, and provide a multi-faceted business opportunity for entrepreneurs and cooperatives. 

Since 1987 PRADAN began working with the government and over the years we have played a major role in informing and execution roles in large public welfare and development programs.  Recognizing the complexity of social problems like climate change, poverty and gender inequality, PRADAN has adopted a system change approach. PRADAN emphasizes the importance of partnering with the government at the national, state and districts to maximize impact in communities by closely supporting implementation of flagship programs.
