Orissa Rural Livelihood Programme: JEEBIKA

Orissa Rural Livelihood Programme (ORLP) is an initiative proposed for providing an additional livelihoods component to ongoing watershed projects in the state. This programme, called the Jeebika, intends to address and enhance the livelihood needs of the landless and marginal households that are generally left out under normal watershed activities. The additional livelihoods component or the ‘watershed plus’ would be integrated into the implementation of the existing watershed projects so that the benefits flow not only to the landed household but also to the poorest and vulnerable sections by developing alternative and diversified livelihood opportunities. 

Watersheds those are likely to have at least another 3 year of project period remaining will be covered under Jeebika. There are 212 watersheds out of 229 were selected under Jeebika. The Jeebika programme launched in Kandhamal district during the end of the December 2008

JEEBIKA will provide an additional ‘’livelihood components” to these watersheds. The livelihood component would be utilised through participatory planning implementation and monitoring processes and would cover a range of areas in addressing rural poverty. These activities could be broadly grouped as:

1.Interventions to address quality of life such as preventive health measures, sanitation, drinking water, food security and so on.

2.Activities to enhance incomes of poor, marginal and landless households through promotion of self help groups (SHG) and common interest groups (CIG); micro credit and savings, micro enterprise promotion, fishery, other off farm enterprise etc.
Component wise break-up of the livelihood fund is given in the Annexure.
