Livelihood Generation Program at Phesual Village

Designed as a holistic community project and executed with the assistance of the Dept. of Sericulture, this program aims to build a self-sustaining silk hub with four villages around Phesual, Jorhat, Assam as a pilot by training and skilling households to build and sustain a commercially viable enterprise in the handloom industry.

This livelihood generation project includes:

Skilling the women in rearing silkworm, harvesting thread, reeling and spinning as a profitable venture
Planting of both castor and kesseru as backyard farms which can be looked after by the men of the families
Training in financial literacy and access to markets
Forming a weavers' hub
Developing cultural tourism around this hub and training the unemployed youth of the village as tour guides
