A review of the socio-economic data from sampled VSS Villages:

Introduction :

Eighteen VSS were selected, out of a total of 2262 VSS across the six identified districts of the
project area, for PRA exercises and field data collection. These PRA exercises were co-ordinated
by APCDD (Andhra Pradesh coalition in Defence of Diversity conducted during September 2001
to December 2001, through six local NGOs namely, CHRD, SECURE, SVDS, SCOPE,
SAHAJEEVAN & SUJANA (details in Annexure 1). Each of these six NGOs took charge of
conducting these PRAs in their respective districts. The consolidated report of these PRAs,
prepared by APCDD, has been already submitted along with Draft Final Report (PDF form) and
an illustration is provided vide AP-CF/VSS/Socio economic-PRA/Final in this report. A total of
415 plant species have been recorded in local medicinal use across the sampled 18 sites. Local
names of these plant species were also recorded, during the PRA exercise, at each site and a
comprehensive tabulation of these is enclosed (AP-CF/Socio economic/Table 1).

A comprehensive review of the data collected during these exercises led to the following
Observations, Analysis and Conclusions.

1. Observations

1.1 Currently less than 2% of the population is involved in collection of medicinal plants for
their livelihood (refer AP-CF/Socio economic/Table 2).

1.2 Across the 18 VSS villages only, 5.1 acres (2.0 Ha) of land has been recorded under
cultivation of medicinal plants (at only 2 sites out of 18).

1.3 Every village has several Nati Vaidyas (local healers) ranging from 2 to 13. The average
number of such Nati Vaidyas, per 100 households of sampled villages is quite high at
around 4 (refer AP-CF/Socio economic/Table 2).

1.4 The representatives of sampled VSS reported the use of a large number of species of
medicinal plants (415) in a self-help mode, for human and veterinary primary health care
needs (refer AP-CF/Socio economic/Table 3).

1.5 The average annual household income, of the middle and lower economic class, is around
Rs.8,300 per year (refer AP-CF/Socio economic/Table 2).

1.6 There are currently no value addition activities related to medicinal plants underway in
the sampled VSS villages.

1.7 The majority of the population in the sampled VSS villages belongs to depressed social
classes like Konda Reddy (ST), Vadabalija, Kapu, Malamadiga (SC), Kammara
Manyadora, Koppalavelama, Kotiya, Kondadoralu and other tribal groups.

1.8 43 medicinal plant species are locally traded and are mainly purchased by GCC (refer
AP-CF/Socio economic/Table 4). Species like Cochlospermum religiosum, Semecarpus
 AP-CF/VSS/Socio-economic/Final

anacardium, Pterocarpus marsupium, Holostemma ada-kodien and Sterculia urens

fetched relatively high prices in the range of Rs.100 – 120 per kilogram of material. The
majority of the remaining species were fairly low priced at the local level, fetching only
Rs.2 to 5/Kg. Medicinal species which were recorded to be commonly traded across 4 or
more sites were Phyllanthus emblica, Terminalia chebula, Sterculia urens, Strychnos
nux-vomica, Strychnos potatorum, Tamarindus indica, Pongamia pinnata, Holostemma
ada-kodien, Decalepis hamiltonii and Cassia fistula (refer AP-CF/Socio economic/Fig 1).

2. Analysis

2.1.1 Medicinal Plants collection as an economic activity does not contribute significantly to
the income and employment of the VSS households as only about 2 percent of the
population earns supplementary income from this activity.

2.1.2 Locally available medicinal plants (415 species) do contribute significantly to primary
health care needs of human beings their and livestock.

2.1.3 Not surprisingly cultivation of medicinal plants is at a very low level evidently due to
lack of remunerative prices and market linkages.

3. Conclusions:

3.1 If market linkages are established there is a possibility of:

a) Stepping up the scale of cultivation

b) Introducing value addition activities related to processing of medicinal plants through
community enterprises.

3.2 If “health education” programs, based on use of local medicinal plants, are carefully
designed to serve the needs of the community and introduced to women, men and
children in an effective way, there can be tremendous contribution to improving self-
reliance in primary health care, for humans and livestock.

3.3 The value of community benefits arising from self-help use of local plant resources when
translated in money terms (calculated at the modest rate of health expenditure saving of
Rs.500/p.a./household) would also be substantial and comparable to the turnover of a
successful community enterprise.

3.3 Given the socio-economic profile of the sampled VSS the main beneficiaries of
cultivation, value addition and health education programmes would be the rural poor
belonging to deprived social & economic classes.
