FOOD FOR COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT (FFCD) |
|
|
|
Food is the fundamental necessity of any living creature and CASA has been actively involved in providing immediate relief, specifically to the victims of natural and man-made hazards in our country. Contemplating about the climatic changes in the recent past would reveal regular features of late monsoons and long spells of summer and erratic rainfalls. Such irregularities in monsoon result in the outbreak of drought, which leads to scarcity of water worsening the agriculture food production, and finally adding woes to common populace. The worst affected population during these phases is the rural masses whose livelihood depends on agricultural activities. Among the rural masses, the most vulnerable are the economically backward communities of tribal, schedule castes, labour classes, who are small and marginal farmers, owning not more than 1-2 acres of land. Throughout its planning and implementation of the programme, CASA had given equal participation for the women from the targeted communities.
