Women of Kansabel Adopt Self-Employment by Joining Self-Help Groups
Raipur (thestates.news) | Traditional skills such as pottery, embroidery and woodwork not only generate employment through eco-friendly products made from locally available materials, but also help preserve rich cultural heritage. Under the leadership of Chief Minister Shri Vishnu Deo Sai, rural women in Jashpur district are setting inspiring examples of self-reliance through the National Rural Livelihood Mission – Bihan Yojana.
In Semhar Kachar village of Kansabel development block, 11 women associated with the Hariyali Self-Help Group have strengthened their livelihoods by crafting attractive baskets and other traditional handicraft items using chhind kasa (date palm fibre). Their work has transformed traditional craftsmanship into a sustainable means of income while keeping age-old artisanal practices alive.
