Livestock Development
ITCs livestock development programme assists rural households to upgrade livestock quality through cross-breeding by artificial insemination to boost milk productivity by a factor of 6 -9 times, leading to a threshold increase in household incomes and thereby an improvement in their poverty status. Currently, these initiatives reach out to over 8,200 villages in 6 states.
Womens Empowerment
ITCs initiatives provide sustainable economic opportunities to poor women in rural areas by assisting them to form microcredit self-help groups that enable them to build up small savings and finance self-employment and micro-enterprises. A large number of women earn income as self-employed workers or as partners in micro-enterprises. The programme has demonstrated that extra income in the hands of women leads to significant and positive changes in human development since it is spent largely on childrens education, health and nutrition, and is a catalyst for gendering development.
