About Dipti Srivastwa Centre For Rural Development in 422,21 Hementa Basu Sarani, Kolkata

This is an organization established in Kolkata in July 25 2011.It is totally dedicated for the underprivileged rural women of the backward tribal areas of Bihar. Scope for earning livelihood is meager in the drought prone regions of Eastern Bihar comprising the belt falling under Chota Nagpur Plateau. In such areas even agriculture which is the back bone of the rural economy fails to provide a stable ample income to the rural households due to unfertile land and water scarcity.

In such a situation we as DSCRD provide them to bamboo stick making production, raw incense sticks, and scented agarbatti which help to get additional income to the otherwise jobless women who can do this work by staying near to their household so they can manage both ends. Stable monthly income, learning new skills, and becoming self sufficient and turning to be a standby support for their families are the key benefits of our project proposal. Moreover, giving a direction to the work of the SHGs and organizing them under one head was most important to save them from middlemen exploitation.
