The Ultra Poor Program of Swayam Krishi is the most important program of Swayam Krishi Sangam, a not for profit NGO operating from Hyderabad, India. In absolute and relative terms India has the highest number of extreme poor <1 US$ a daily income ) in the World and 'newly hungry' are added every year more than the rest of the world combined. The Ultra Poor are faced with multi dimensional deprivation, caught in spatial poverty traps.
The SKS Ultra Poor Programme, scientifically targets the bottom of the pyramid extreme poor, employing participatory identification tools. Our intervention logic is based on seamless and integrated services in the thematic areas of social, health and economic advancement to the identified extreme poor households with the aim of mainstreaming and reconnecting them to lost livelihood opportunities through a road map of their choice. The identified partner households are invariably women headed and most of them are destitute or below destitute.
The graduation path is closely tracked with information loops capturing quality life and household performance indicators. SKS Ultra Poor Programme is deeply grounded in the philosophy and methodology of handholding to hand in hand to shake hand within a time frame.
The single most important criterion of the measure of impact of this Programme is an orderly transition into self propelled and secured livelihoods with elevated social and health awareness levels.
