摘要：AbstractThe paper covers the BAIF led National Agricultural Innovations Project is an initiative by ICAR and supported by the World Bank. (NAIP) (Component 3- NAIP has four component with component 3 on livelihood security) subproject which commenced in 2007 in 76 villages of five backward districts of Maharashtra India with the objective of developing a holistic solution for promoting sustainable livelihoods. Agriculture was the mainstay of livelihood in these areas; however usage of traditional methods, lack of proper irrigation facilities etc led to lower yields causing a ‘forced’ migration to the nearby urban centers. The sustainability approach involved integrated cluster development comprising of interventions that focused on: improved agriculture methods, livestock development, water resource development and forest based initiatives. This partnership between GO-NGO-people's organizations has positively impacted over 12,000 families in addressing their livelihood needs.
