The people of Sundarbans coastal region are mainly forest resources. BEDS has established BANOJIBI at Dacope adjacent to Sundarbans, where 265 families are training on nature based product development, integrated farming, organic farming, native crop cultivation and tourism. Now the beneficiaries are engaged in integrated farming and getting maximum benefit from using the existing resources.
One of our beneficiaries expressed her feeling, “ Before I used to go for fishing with the husband in the forest. But it was quite risky and I couldn’t take care of my children. When BANOJIBI established, I was a member of BANOJIBI of agriculture sector as I have much interest in farming, but I did not have any cropland. Here I learned about integrated farming system and got native chicken and hen from BEDS which I rear in my homestead area and now I have 78 chickens and 105 Duck. Now I do not need to go to the forest to earn my livelihood. I have also cultivated vegetables in my homestead area. Through integrated farming, my economic condition has been improved and life becomes easier.
We would like to thank all our donors for being so kind to us so far. We are requesting all our kind donors to start monthly recurring donation. For recurring donation, please visit the following link; https://www.globalgiving.org/projects/livelihood-improvement-for-fishermen-families/

Vaccination of sheep is going on
People of Sundarbans coastal region depend on the forest resources for their livelihood. BEDS has introduced integrated farming in Sundarbans coastal region as income generating activities. Now the people of BANOJIBI are engaged in integrated farming and it includes organic farming, poultry farming, duck rearing, sheep and cow rearing. Sheep rearing has become very much popular at Uttar Banishanta village of Dacope. Now they are rearing sheep and for getting proper benefit, vaccination of the sheep is very important. BEDS has trained the local community on sheep rearing and also distributed sheep among the local community. Now they are providing vaccine to the sheep according to the learning from the training and they are getting much profit from the sheep rearing.
BEDS is currently trying to raise funds from GlobalGiving platform in order to help those marginal people in the way of income generation for their better future with better economic conditions. We also hope that through taking support from various corners they will be able to use their products for earning their sound livelihood.

We live very close to the world’s single largest mangrove forest, “Sundarbans”. We are the members of BANOJIBI. BANOJIBI means forest dwellers. We depend on the forest resources for our livelihood. But BEDS introduced several scopes of alternative livelihood opportunity. BEDS has introduced integrated farming system with us. In this system each and every sector of our house are being used to get benefit. Now we are rearing along with crop cultivation. IN livestock rearing, there is minimum loss of failure and we are getting quick benefit from the livestock. We have sheep, goat and now BEDS introduced beef rearing among us. It’s a very profitable business. We are getting quick return from the beef rearing.
