And Forestry
 
 FOCUS ON :
 

  • Agro forestry - Farm forestry.
  • Joint forest management.
  • Horticulture and floriculture development.
  • Promotion of drip irrigation, net houses and green houses
  • Environment Conservation Forum

The Forestry sector activities are vital elements in any regional development program. It not only contributes to environmental rehabilitation, but also enhances the net capital assets of the region. SADGURU has promoted forestry in its project areas as a core objective.

To have a more effective impact on the socio-econmic status of the household and augment empowerment, the forestry sector interventions revolve around women.

Local Women play a significant role right from selection of species to program evaluation. Hence, they are not just participants, but leaders in forestry implementation.

" The Government report based on satellite images says that in the recent years, the forest cover/tree cover has increased by 60,000 hectares all over the country. Out of this, Sadguru's efforts alone has contributed to 14,000 hectares, which is not an ordinary achievement by a single NGO...."
