Project Lead - Bio Energy Plantation

As part of the Livelihood initiative, Bio Energy Plantations, especially super napier grass will be promoted. Super napier is more resilient to pests and climate vagaries and gives multiple cuts in one plantation.

The program's objective will be to promote the cultivation of super napier grass in pre-selected locations. The program will also have to work towards building market linkages for the produce. It is envisaged that the program takes on a self sustaining and enterprise model either through a village level entrepreneur or a FPO.

Execute: This is a an extremely result oriented program where the lead is expected to design and roll out the plan. The main challenge will be to ensure high speed execution at multiple locations in the country.

Lead: Hence the incumbent has to have the ability to plan, mentor the team, closely monitor and ensure execution through a spread out team

Planning : Develop strategic approach and short term and long term plans for ensuring results

Business Model:

The program has to have an inbuilt sustainable, self paying mechanism. The incumbent should have the experience and ability to create and execute such a model

Innovations : Facilitate demonstrations and encourage use of technology and other innovations that are relevant.

Partnerships : Build strategic partnerships which will help deliver the program objectives

Monitoring : Regularly monitor the program and track of all key output and outcome indicators; take corrective action where required

Thought Leadership : Provide thought leadership and analysis on key sub-themes for showcasing internally within the group as well as external stakeholders
