BSE Social Stock Exchange · Zero Coupon Zero Principal (ZCZP) Issue

Integrated Tribal Livelihood and Habitat Initiative in the Nilgiris

Nilgiris, Tamil Nadu · 452 beneficiary families · 46 years of RDO field presence

THE CASE FOR INTERVENTION

A community at an inflection point.

The Irula and Kurumba communities in Mudumalai face fragile housing, limited irrigation and unstable livelihoods.

The closure of 48 resorts in the elephant corridor removed a key source of income, deepening vulnerability across the cluster.

This is a point where a single integrated intervention can create permanent change

Why a single integrated intervention works

1. A family without safe shelter cannot sustain livelihoods.

2. Agriculture without irrigation does not generate stable income.

 

3. Livelihoods without market linkage fail under climate and price pressures.

This programme addresses all of these simultaneously within one 18 month window.
