Small Enterprise Support
We support individuals and families in setting up small, sustainable enterprises based on local resources and skills. This includes guidance on planning, basic financial management, and utilising raw materials effectively. Our aim is to help people convert existing skills into functioning micro-businesses. This support builds a steady path towards financial independence, reducing dependency on uncertain daily wage work.
Assamese Handloom Weaving and Bamboo Craftsmanship
We promote Assam’s traditional Eri and Muga silk weaving alongside bamboo craftsmanship, helping artisans turn heritage skills into sustainable livelihoods. Training focuses on quality improvement, product diversity, and market readiness, while preserving authentic techniques passed down through generations. By supporting local weavers and craftsmen, we generate employment within communities and help keep Assam’s rich cultural traditions alive, relevant, and economically viable for the future.
Market Linkage Support
Producing goods is only half the journey — selling them is equally important. We help individuals and self-help groups connect with local markets, buyers, and sales opportunities. This includes guidance on pricing, presentation, and building consistent customer relationships. By strengthening this link between production and market, we help livelihoods become sustainable rather than one-time efforts.
Vermicomposting and Sustainable Agriculture
We promote vermicomposting and sustainable farming practices to help rural communities improve soil health while reducing dependency on chemical fertilisers. Training focuses on organic waste management, composting techniques, and eco-friendly cultivation methods. This initiative supports long-term agricultural productivity, lowers input costs for farmers, and encourages environmentally responsible practices that benefit both livelihoods and the land for generations to come.
Agro Tourism
We aim to develop agro tourism as a means of generating alternative income for rural communities, showcasing Assam’s natural landscapes, farming practices, and rural lifestyle to visitors. This initiative creates opportunities for local hospitality, craft sales, and cultural exchange, while promoting sustainable tourism. By blending agriculture with tourism, we help villages unlock new economic potential without disrupting their traditional way of life.
