The Chatti Bariatu Coal Mining Project distributed 30 certificates to women from the Birhor community who successfully completed a 15-day training program on making bamboo articles on thursday. In addition, 32 Birhor families received solar lamps as part of the initiative. The event was organized by the Sanskriti Mahila Samiti of Chatti Bariatu Coal Mining Project.The certificates were presented by Mrs Rakhi Gupta, Vice President of Sanskriti Mahila Samiti, Mrs Saroj Singh, General Secretary of the Samiti, and Mrs Ranjana Rawat, Member of the Samiti. The initiative was part of the corporate social responsibility (CSR) efforts of the project, aimed at improving the livelihoods of the Birhor community.“We believe that empowering women through skill development is key to creating a sustainable future for the community. The bamboo crafting training and solar lamps will significantly improve their quality of life and provide them with new opportunities,” said Shrimati Rakhi Gupta during the event.The bamboo article training offers Birhor women a valuable skill that will provide them with additional income through the creation and sale of bamboo products. This initiative not only encourages local craftsmanship but also contributes to environmental sustainability.The solar lamps will benefit families in the Birhor community by addressing the issue of inadequate lighting, particularly in remote areas. In addition to this, the project also distributed water filters and mosquito nets in October and regularly conducts health camps for the community’s well-being.The Birhor community, traditionally dependent on forest resources, benefits greatly from these initiatives that promote self-sufficiency and better living conditions.
