After successful launching
of
Herbal Soap manufactured by

SHG Paliur,
DRDA Chamba has introduced another Economic Activity under Sawaran
Jayanti Gram Swarozgar Yojana(SGSY) i.e.
Preparation of home/office articles
and decorative items using Pine Needles (Pine
Needle Craft).
The idea behind selection of this activity is the availability of
raw material (Pine Needles) in the surrounding areas and which is
free of cost. As the said raw material is very dangerous for forest
property. Due to these pine needles number of Fire events take place
in various areas of the district as well as in the state resulting
in loss of Forest Property. But if we procure these raw materials
well in time then the fire events could be avoided and valuable
forests can be saved and on the other hand by the use of these pine
needles a viable income generation activity can be started for the
rural SHG members especially women. In this way rural economy could
be boosted. With the
collaboration with Kangra Mahila Sabha(NGO), 827 women have been
trained under this activity. The block-wise detail is as under:- |
