ODPP Historical Background: Organization Development Project Plan (ODPP) is a non-profit, non-governmental organization registered under society’s act 1860 no. RJSC/DISTTRWP/F3158/57. It is a pool of researchers, scientists, implementers and policy scholars who believes in Democrats action for all spheres of life. ODPP wish to turn out one new method after another, always combining two goals: Democrats livelihoods for the poor and regenerating the environment. ODPP is committed with the concept of Democrats development - living within the limits of the natural environment and livelihoods without compromising the needs of future generations. N(QT&f4LGTWv Conventional development: Practices only increase the gap between the haves and the have-nots. ODPP aimed to develop such mechanisms and institutional systems, which are needed to achieve equitable and environmentally sound development. In Pakistan, more than half of the rural population is unemployed, underemployed or informally employed and on top of it they are not aware for their rights and basic needs of life. They need income generating jobs that provide them with economic security and with the products and services required to satisfy their basic needs, as well as appliances for their daily activities. At the same time, the industries that create these jobs and appliances must reduce the wasteful use of energy, water, forests and other natural resources. Modern industry cannot, and does not, address the needs of rural communities, and in any case requires heavy investment of capital, which is not available. ODPP: Will continue to lobby governments and policy-makers, conduct research, influence policy makers, and work with business and industry to address global threats to the planet by seeking long-term solutions.

Due to this factor, their livelihoods are on stake. This is actually issue of their capacity to deal with. Although, they are engaged in the farming from centuries but due to number of reasons including lack of information about new technologies, market accessibility, heavy costs of inputs, irrational use of agricultural inputs and natural resources like water and soil; they are unable to gain profit from their farming.
