Jharkhand Tribal Farmer Phool Kumari Launches Poultry Venture with 100 Chicks in 2018

In 2018, Phool Kumari, a tribal farmer from Jharkhand, started a small‑scale poultry venture by raising 100 chicks. The initiative was part of her effort to diversify income sources and reduce dependence on traditional crop farming. By investing in poultry, she aimed to tap into the growing demand for eggs and meat in the region. The project has since become a model for other tribal farmers seeking alternative livelihoods. Local agricultural officials have noted the positive impact of such diversification on community resilience.
