Jeeta works in various parts of Orissa but Nirnaya supports the Land Development and Bio Farming project in three gram panchayats of Barkote block of Deogarh district. The focus groups are primarily Munda and Bhuyan tribal women. The livelihood soruces for the community are agriculture for six months and collection of non timber forest produce for the rest of the six months. The latter being low paying, most families migrate to the nearby industrial area in search of work. Jeeta took up the challenge of mobilizing the community to develop the land in their areas, create a seed bank of indigenous seeds in each of the three selected villages and use non chemical pesticides for their farming purposes thus regenerating the cultivable land. This will, Jeeta believes, help reduce migration and enable the farmers to address the issue of food security. Jeeta also believes that 45 acres of land would have been developed in a span of three years, three seed banks would be set up and the food supply would stretch out by an additional month as a result of this initiative. The entitlements to the developed land would be given in the names of the women.

The group’s project goal is to check migration of tribal women in 15 villages through waste land development, promotion of tribal women farmers, land entitlement for 200 women through public hearing and form Gram Panchayat and block level women farmers’ federation.
