Dona Pattal
Prasana Iyengar Coordinator
The project intends to improve income through up skilling and livelihood generation of adivasi and traditional forest dweller communities in Surguja. This will be done through setting up a leaf plate manufacturing unit for 15 villages belonging to 6 revenue villages (gram panchayats) covering a population of about 8000. It would serve as a model sustainable rural enterprise for the local people. The local community would be up skilled from their present perennial vocation of Sal & Siali leaf collection to a collective of leaf stitchers and leaf plate manufacturers as part of the project. Once established, the project activities would be expanded to 15 gram panchayats. Sustainability of the project has been accounted for at each step and this fund would act as a seed for future growth of the local community.
