When we picture the tribal lady, the first picture comes to our mind is of a deprived ladu who is struggling to just meet her both ends.
In the said narrative, it would be hard to believe that the tribal ladies in MP & Jharkhand are owning an enterprise of Rs. 300 crore plus turnover in FY16-17.
Meet Dr. H K Deka who has made this unrealizable dream true for more than 10,000 tribal & SC women belonging to the economically most disadvantaged section of society since 2001.
Dr. Deka is a veterinary graduate from CVSc,Khanpara, Guwahati who has tiredlessely worked with his team starting from 2001 with 200 tribal women producers in Kesla block of Hoshangabad district in MP state of India.
Under his able leadership, one co-op with 200 membership has reached to a staggering 22 co-ops & more than 10000 membership exclusively of women by March 2017 spreading across five states: MP, Jharkhand, West Bengal, Odisha & Assam.
The co-ops are organized in state level federations to realise economies of scale. The state level federations in turn has given rise to a national level trust known as: NSPDT (National Small Holder Poultry Development Trust).
Today NSPDT is the largest poultry group in central India with top market share in Jharkhand & second in MP. This is one of the most professionally managed & end to end integrated group in India & ready to take on big corporate houses.
NSPDT has also got into eggs production & retail chain of fresh dressed hygenic chicken since 2017.
NSPDT is targetting Rs. 1000 crore turnover, 50 co-ops, 4 state federations by 2020.
