LIVELIHOOD PROMOTION
Poverty is rampant in the area. Poverty is a result of low level of assets and low returns. Agriculture is non-remunerative, and the non-farm sector has failed to generate employment. The poor lack education and skills to take advantage of the opportunities available. 20 women/ adolescents are provided skills in cutting, stitching, sewing, etc. These small tailoring units serve as profitable cottage industries which have a ready-made local market.
A number of handicrafts are being developed by local artisans. Which are being upgraded through training obtained from empaneled experts by the Dept. of Handicrafts, These handicrafts have a very good market since they are still widely used, not only in the rural but also in the urban areas. Expert assistance lends the durability of the craft and fetches better prices from the market.
The Self Help Groups (SHGs) are functioning very well. Inter-loaning is going on and emergency funds are usually available. A number of them have been linked to banks. The SHGs have brought the members together, promoted ownership of the group, developed a forum for collective learning and inter-agency dialogue, promoted a sense of solidarity, and developed into a cost-effective credit delivery mechanism. The SHGs in effect have freed the members from the clutches of the money lenders.
