Rice is important cereal crops cereals crop worldwide. Kalanamak is heritage rice of eastern Uttar Pradesh and valued for its aroma, taste and nutritive quality. Four improved varieties, KN3, Bauna Kalanamak 101, Bauna Kalanamak 102 and Kalanamak Kiran were released in 2010, 2016, 2017and 2018 respectively. Last three varieties yield 50% more than traditional Kalanamak KN3 and mature 10 days earlier. Normal selling price of the Kalanamak paddy ranges between Rs. 2500/- to Rs. 3500/- per quintal. Organic Kalanamak fetches 20% premium over normal Kalanamak. Summarily compared to Rs. 17,500 / ha net profit from common HYV rice, Kalanamak KN3 will give Rs. 44,375, Bauna Kalanamak Rs. 71,500 and Organic Kalanamak Rs. 92,500 per hectare net profit, hence better net profit of the farmers is assured sustainably. Kalanamak is heritage rice of eastern Uttar Pradesh and valued for its aroma, taste and nutritive quality. Its cultivation declined from 50,000 ha to less than 2,000 ha due to varietal deterioration and competition from HYV. Four improved varieties, KN3, Bauna Kalanamak 101, Bauna Kalanamak 102 and Kalanamak Kiran were released in 2010, 2016, 2017and 2018 respectively. Last three varieties yield 50% more than traditional Kalanamak KN3 and mature 10 days earlier. Normal selling price of the Kalanamak paddy ranges between Rs. 2500/- to Rs. 3500/- per quintal. In spite of MSP announced by the governments, most farmers sell their HYV paddy around Rs. 1300/- per quintal. Cost of cultivation of Kalanamak and yield the same as HYV now, farmers get three times more net profit. Organic Kalanamak fetches 20% premium over normal Kalanamak. Summarily compared to Rs. 17,500 / ha net profit from common HYV rice, Kalanamak KN3 will give Rs. 44,375, Bauna Kalanamak Rs. 71,500 and Organic Kalanamak Rs. 92,500 per hectare net profit. With the PRDF arranged contract growing, by involving farmers and marketing companies from Kharif 2018, tripling the net profit of the farmers is assured sustainably. Thus, the proverb “Paddy and Poverty go together” is a myth now.

The identity of women cannot be seen in isolation but one that exists along with other constituents that intersects with class, race, sexuality and caste also. Being a woman, a person is already at periphery, adding caste to it makes more vulnerable. Thus, Dalit women are more subjugated in Indian society whether it is about leading a normal life or availing reproductive health services. This study primarily draws from a Dalit feminist perspective to understand the subjectivity and nuisances of the Dalit women who avail reproductive health services. While availing reproductive health services, the sort of discrimination the Dalit women face are denial in providing reproductive health services, creating and observing distance with the Dalit women by the health practitioners, and also promotion of privatization of healthcare services. The study is based on qualitative research design basically, participant observation, in which the total 27 married women were selected for the in-depth interview, among them 16 women were from the Dalit community and 9 women were from the so-called upper caste community. This research was conducted from February to April 2015 in Mau district of Eastern Uttar Pradesh, India.
