In 2008, Himmotthan operationalised the
integrated fodder and livestock development
project (IFLDP) in partnership with different
government departments and non-profits,
to increase fodder availability, decrease
wastage, improve health and breeds, and
to enhance livestock-based livelihoods in
125 remote villages across 15 project areas
in six districts of Uttarakhand.

An event celebrating the handing over of nine Tata Ace vehicles (light commercial
vehicles) purchased by the women’s
dairy federations, formed under the IFLDP,
was held in Hotel Aketa, Dehradun, on November
3, 2011, on the occasion of the State Foundation
Week. Hosted by Himmotthan, this ceremony
was held to congratulate and compliment
the women’s dairy federations on their
success in their dairy businesses and in
their attempts to purchase the vehicles.
The vehicle keys were handed over to the
federation members and the vehicles subsequently
flagged off. The chief secretary of Uttarakhand,
Subhash Kumar, has chaired the programme.
Other participants at the event included
over 150 women federation members and leaders,
project partners from different districts
of Uttarakhand, lead government officials
and bankers, among others. This prestigious
programme showcased the success of the Uttarakhand
Government and the Trusts’ partnership,
so strongly built on the vision of a ten-year
MoU signed by both entities in 2004, which
is visible in a host of current collaborative
programmes and projects.
