preserving the diversity of the medicinal
plants of Kerala and provide valuable
information and awareness on medicinal
plants conservation and cultivation to the
people. More over, Sahyadri has developed
a medicinal Park and an Ayurveda Museum
which are open to the tourists. Under this
programme 110 different species of
Medicinal Plants which are red listed, rare or
endangered, are conserved.

Our Medicinal Park is an attraction to the


tourists on their way to Thekkady, the

Tribal development
.
Women Development Programme
The community development thrust of PDS received streamlining and better direction
with the launching of a specially designed Women’s Development Department. The
positive indication from the part of the government offering special provisions for
women in Panchayat Raj Institutions also acted much in favour of launching the
department placing due emphasis on empowerment through capacity building in the first
place. About 32000 women have been organized into 1800 Self Help Groups. Skill
training programmes like umbrella making, quail farming, book binding, rabbit rearing,
soap making, plant nurseries, wool knitting, electronic goods repairing,electric
embroidery and screen printing are frequently conducted. A large number of women participate in these programmes
with great confidence. Having obtained legal status and other linkages, the women groups have now started small
enterprises and income generation activities.
Micro Enterprise Development
The emergence of micro finance has been crucial in the evolution of micro enterprises. Availability of credit for the
poor resulted in the emergence of a large number of micro enterprises especially in rural areas. But mere provision of
credit does not foster self-employment amongst women in the absence of facilitation and comprehensive micro
enterprise development support. Realising this PDS has been rendering need based support to the prospective
entrepreneurs for the past many years. Our efforts in this sector can be broadly classified into four areas.

1. Promotion of SHGs

PDS recognizes the importance of SHG promotion as the first step towards micro
enterprise promotion. It will facilitate the linkages with different agencies on a
permanent basis and will ensure the sustainability of enterprises. As on March
31, 2006 there are 1840 SHGs affiliated with the society.

2. Capacity development

In order to cater to their training needs Entrepreneurship Development


Programmes are conducted. The association with Entrepreneurship Development
Institute of India, Ahemadabad, NABARD, Khadi and Village Industries
Commission and Department of Industries and Commerce, Govt. of Kerala, have
eabled us to cover a large number of prospective entrepreneurs.

3. Facilitating linkages and collaborations

After the training the facilitation support is given to the trainees towards linking
with various Govt. sponsored schemes like PMRY, REGP, Kerala State backward
classes Development Corporation, various banks and others for setting up
enterprises.

4. Networking
PDS is publishing a quarterly newsletter GRAMODAYAM for circulating among the SHGs.
Major objective of this newsletter is to bring out success stories and case studies of successful
SHGs and to promote their unique activities. The subscribers of the newsletter include SHGs
promoted by other agencies along with those promoted by PDS.
Family Sponsorship Programme

The programme is supported with finance and guidance by Save a Family Plan
-Canada, Family Care Programme - Austria, Akiton Erzengel Rafael-Austria, and
German Sponsorship Programme Germany. A total of one thousand three
hundred and thirty needy and deserving families are being helped through this
project to meet the basic minimum amenities.

Family Counselling Centre

The Family Counselling Centre at Kattappana renders great service to many.


Everyday many visit this centre and receive support and guidance. Professional
help is rendered here by doctors, counsellors and social workers.

Insurance Programme

it is a joint venture of PDS and New India Assurance Co. Ltd. to provide medical
assistance, personal accident coverage and fire insurance to the families of our
operational area. This programme covers the entire family and proved to be very
helpful to the people.

Watershed Development Programmes

Watershed Development Management (WDM) Programme has given PDS new


enlightenment. The Society holds the distinction of introducing the concept in
this part of the country in early 90’s with the help of EEC. The years that followed
saw PDS becoming an authentic body in watershed management and related
activities. As far as WDM is concerned, the Society assumes the roles of
promoter, programme implementing agency, support voluntary organization and
resource centre. It is one of the Support Voluntary Organizations (SVO) of Council
for Advancement of People’s Action and Rural Technology (CAPART) for the
promotion of its watershed development programme in the South Indian States
of Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and the Union Territory of
Pondichery. These programmes have produced great impacts in the conservation
of land, water and biomass.

Consultancy Services

For many years, PDS had been rendering consultancy services to many voluntary
organizations and departments in the areas of watershed development, housing
and sanitation, microfinance, research and documentation, Ayurveda, animal
husbandry and organic farming.

Sahyadri Ayurveda Division

This is a unit of PDS that propagates Ayurveda and other traditional branches of
medicine in its true spirits. PDS’ concern in indigenous health has found great
support and encouragement from people. Today we have an ethno-medicinal
forest, herbal nursery, seed and raw drug museum and a community programme
participated by 4000 families.

The Sahyadri Ayurvedic Pharmaceuticals, which is a


GMP certified one, produces 236 varieties of
Ayurvedic medicines. Through our self help groups
and various other organizations, we promote low cost
and harmless practice of Ayurveda, holding tightly on
the motto ‘people’s health in their own hands’.

centre for training Ayurveda nurses and therapists. Sahyadri Ayurveda Franchise
