The document discusses problems with food waste in India and lack of sustainable livelihoods for rural populations. It proposes a phased plan to address this by forming an NGO database, sectoring areas of focus, identifying target locations and beneficiaries, and tracking their progress. The goal is not just temporary aid but teaching skills for long-term self-sufficiency through a standardized routine and brand that people want to associate with.

2. Problem
• About 18 per cent of the country’s fruits and vegetables, worth
Rs. 13,300 crore annually are wasted.( Emerson Climate Technologies)
• 65 per cent of the population is engaged in agriculture.
• India produces 25,500crore tonnes of food every year.

3. Schemes in West Bengal

5. The gap lies here
•There are various scheme for helping the rural people but are
they enough to help them be self –sustainable. We can help
for a year or so but after that we need them to earn their own
livelihood
•Now, children in rural area are not sent to school as they are
treated as a resource that can help their parents and
moreover are thought to do the same work as their parents
do.
•EDUCATIOBN IS IMPORTANT BUT NOT THE ONLY SOLUTION.

8. PHASE 1
• Form NGO database of all those who can help (Most
of us must be associated with one of them) Ex-Robin
Hood Army, Help Foundation, Cloths Box Foundation.
• Sector the areas we are to start with. Ex- Food, Cloth.
• Have a list of the geographical areas where should
start our work from.
• Have a list of the needy and their full bio.
• Track their changes on a standard development scale
and give them a standard productive routine.(to be
discussed)

9. Why not starts from
the streets of Kolkata
itself?

10. PHASE 2
Why not Market It.
Lets create a Brand
everybody like to be
associated with.

day;
Teach a man to fish and you feed him for
a lifetime.
