Jeypore, (Oriya: ) is the largest village in the Koraput district of Orissa, India. Along with Bhubaneswar, Cuttack, Sambalpur,Rourkela, Balasore, Puri and Berhampur, Jeypore is one of the prominent places of Orissa. It is encompassed by hills of the Eastern Ghats and the more famous Araku hills on three sides like a horse shoe with the western side opening up to Chattisgarh in central India. It is the business hub for the district and South Orissa.

Economy
Though traditionally an agrarian economy, Jeypore is the business hub for southern Orissa as well as the bordering towns of Andhra Pradesh. There are many renowned industries in and around Jeypore. Business units include Sewa Paper Mills, now a part of BILT, and numerous rice & cashew processing units. PSU company POWER GRID CORPORATION OF INDIA LTD has its 400 kV Sub-Station with FSC system at Kaliagaon. NALCO, Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) and Coffee Board are some prominent government based units & Major Private Limited Companies like M/s. Hindustan Sales Private Limited situated nearby. Huge granite deposits on hills, rich forests and forest-based produce are important contributors to Jeypore's economy. Apparels, shoes and animal products are also significant contributors.

Harsha Trust is a not for profit organization that works with the tribal and the poor in remote locations of Orissa, aiming to bring in human development in challenging conditions. As an organization it endeavours to bring professionals into the development arena believing that quality human resources are critical to the process of ensuring sustainable changes in one of the poverty stricken parts of the country. In selecting its project location, the organization has deliberately chosen to work in difficult-to-access regions where the system has been unable to deliver towards development needs of the population. Intervening with backward communities on basic needs of food sufficiency and livelihoods, Harsha Trust has tried to bring hope among the people who have been cut off from the developmental processes. The organization has over the past 7 years tried to demonstrate models of sustainable livelihood that arrest migration and give people a chance to develop within their circumstances. Using concrete examples the organization has tried to interface with larger stakeholders-viz. government, banks, donors to influence wider scale replication of successful interventions using the resources meant for the people. Having met with a fair degree of success in its ability to
Page 9 of 39

influence the system to allocate resources for these vulnerable communities; Harsha Trust is striving to drive this agenda forward to maximize the access of the poorest to their human development entitlements.
Mission Improving the quality of life of the rural poor, is the mission of HARSHA TRUST

Bilt Tree Tech Limited Press Release For immediate publication Bilt Tree Tech Releases Insect for Biological Control of Gall in Koraput, Orissa New Delhi, 12th March 2012: Bilt Tree Tech Limited (BTTL), a subsidiary of

Avantha Group company Ballarpur Industries Limited (BILT), has successfully released Qurastichus mendeli an exotic species of insect that is used for the biological control of the gall disease in eucalyptus plants in Koraput district, Orissa. The insects were imported from Israel in association with the National Bureau of Agriculturally Important Insects (NBAII), Bangalore and the Indian Paper Manufacturers Association (IPMA). Over the last one year, BTTL multiplied these insects in their nursery at Sewa, Jeypore, with strict and constant monitoring involving high expenses. In August 2011, BTTL distributed these insects through eucalyptus plants at no cost to the farmers of this region. The positive effects of these insects are already being felt, with the incidence of gall disease goingdown considerably. This has come as a much-needed relief to eucalyptus farmers of Koraput district,

Page 13 of 39

many of whom have been maintaining eucalyptus plantations for the last 16-17 years, and had been suffering losses for the last four years because of gall disease. The disease stunts plants and substantially reduces yield. Young plants and coppice shoots are especially vulnerable to gall attacks. Eucalyptus trees are planted by both marginal and affluent farmers in the region. Eucalyptus plantations have helped bring socio-economic development to this region. About Bilt Tree Tech Limited BILT Tree Tech Limited (BTTL) is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ballarpur Industries Limited (BILT), Indias largest manufacturer of writing and printing (W&P) paper and a flagship of the US$ 4 billion Avantha Group. BTTL runs BILTs farm forestry programme in collaboration with local farmers. The main objectives of BTTL are to develop core competency in forestry, produce and distribute high quality eucalyptus clones and seedlings of other pulpwood tree species to farmers, provide them with technical guidance, and assure buy back of wood at market prices. Besides providing farmers with a source of income, the project also helps supplement BILTs requirement of pulpwood, and promotes sustainable production of paper. BTTLs farm forestry programme is currently operating in several districts in the states of Orissa, Chhattisgarh, Andhra Pradesh

Page 14 of 39

and Maharashtra. So far more than 35,000 hectares of trees have been planted, benefiting over 38,000 farmers. The company aims to distribute 10 mn eucalyptus clones in 2012. BILT Forestry Initiatives BILT has been developing Farm Forestry since 1990 through its subsidiary company BILT Tree Tech Ltd. (BTTL). Since its inception in 1989, BTTL has concentrated on developing core competency in forestry and is manned by experienced forestry professionals. BILT has taken a special care to target marginal land belonging to farmers below poverty line. Farmers covered under this scheme are assured purchase of their pulpwood produce by BILT at declared support price or market price which ever may be higher. Tailor-made bank loans on long-term basis are made available to the needy farmers. Ongoing Research & Development activities aimed at tree improvement and clonal development are already contributing to increased returns to farmers through improved productivity. BTTL has initiated site-specific forestry research projects to identify and produce high yielding clones of pulpwood species like Eucalyptus, Casuarina and Leucaena leucocephala. Plantations raised with high yielding clones of Eucalyptus have achieved substantial increase in yield giving significantly higher returns to farmers. The company plans to progressively increase usage of high yielding clones in the farm forestry
Page 15 of 39

programme by adopting tissue culture route. BILT Tree Tech Ltd has also established high quality seed orchards of above species to improve availability of good quality seed and ensure better productivity of its farm forestry programme. The programme is being implemented in six states of India namely, Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, Orissa, Chhattishgarh, Haryana, and Tamil Nadu, through a network of central and decentralized nurseries. The three central nurseries located in Orissa, Andhra Pradesh and Haryana have state-of-the-art technology and are capable of producing root trainer and clonal plants with a total capacity of 5/6 million plants. Till date 80 million plants have been distributed covering approximately 16,000 hectares land belonging to 13,300 farmers. Long-term target is to progressively increase this farmer base to 60, 000 farmers and annual planting to more than 50 million plants by year 2007-08.

 Looking at the opportunities and quality of plantation NABARD readily sanctioned a loan for 3 consecutive years 2009, 2010, 2011 under their umbrella programme on natural resource management (UPNRM) The loan is given to the cooperative at 9%,which subsequently passed on the loan to the farmer members at 11% LOAN SANCTION PROCEDURE Farmers interested for project first form a JLG/SHG group of approximate 6-7 members in one group. JLG: joint livelihood group by only men SHG: Self help group by only women All farmers must have their land paper as ownership proof which they have to deposit in PACL office for the grant of loan Loan permit in name of JLG group stepwise means after successful completion of each process/step of plantation of all member farmers of JLG at a rime. The steps are:
Page 17 of 39

o preparing field by tractor : loan for tractor rent o buying clone plant : loan for purchase stump o buying pesticide, insecticide, fertilizer : loan for chemical use o also provide loans to give rent of labour used etc. All process of approval of loan from NABARD to individual farmers are strictly undergone through PACL and guidance of HARSHA trust. PACL provide these loan after checking all above said process step by step as required in the name of JLG. Hear a question arise :why through JLG, not to individual farmers? Ans: Generally Tribal farmers are very simple and uneducated so they dont know the rules ,regulation ,importance of loan taken in their name and the term, condition, criteria about the payment of loan. So there is a chance of miss utilization of loan if the money is directly given to farmers hand at a time .

Linearization of funds for PACL: Initially

Ballarpur Industries limited (BILT) provided loan and BILT

tree tech limited (BTTL) provided technical support to kick start the project under the guidance of the NGO- HARSHA TRUST. The loan was given to the cooperative at 8%,which subsequently passed on the loan to the farmer members at 10%.A farmer takes up plantation in one or two acres of eucalyptus plantation in its own degraded land by availing loan through the cooperative. In the 2009 the cooperative approached NABARD to support for expansion of this intervention. Looking at the opportunities and quality of plantation ,NABARD readily sanctioned a loan for 3 consecutive years 2009,2010,2011,under their umbrella programme resource management(UPNRM). The loan was given to the cooperative at 9%,which subsequently passed on the loan to the farmer members at 11%. There is a tripartite agreement passed between the cooperative ,BILT and harsha trust where the BILT provided assurance to buy all the harvested eucalyptus at Rs 1500/tons or the market price which ever is higher. on natural
