| SUSTAINABLE LIVELIHOOD PROGRAMMES |
| Agriculture: Agriculture is the backbone of the country’s economy and most of the rural population practices agricultural activities for livelihood. But due to irregular rains and lack of water for irrigation, farmers who hold lands are facing many hardships in our region. Therefore to improve the agricultural output for better food security and to help farmers to generate regular income, SCAN is developing various projects like horticulture, organic cultivation, vermin composting, waste land development etc,. We hope that such activities will improve the rural economy and make the communities self-sufficient |

Environmental awareness & conservation:- Schools are an ideal setting for promoting environmental awareness. Scan-India conducts
environmental awareness and conservation programmes among the school children and the
women groups in the community. Massive tree plantation programmes, kitchen gardens,
awareness on solar energy, rain water harvesting and medicinal plants conservation are some of
the remarkable programmes being organized to educate the children and public on the
protection of environment.

Safe water:- Access to safe water is a fundamental human need and therefore it becomes a basic human
right. But according to the World Bank estimates only 41.5% of the total population having
access to improved water source and 21% of communicable diseases in India are related to
unsafe water. Water-borne diseases are causing more than 4 million infants and child deaths
every year in developing countries. Diarrhea alone causes more than 1,600 deaths daily in India.
Ensuring safe water for the people is an important task of our organization as there is lack of
access to clean water and sanitation in the rural areas. |
