LIVELIHOOD PROGRAM
Melghat Tiger Reserve
administration, with the help of Satpuda Foundation, is implementing a scheme for
tribals to buy four-wheeled vehicles, with the aim of providing livelihood
opportunities for unemployed tribal villagers of recently relocated villages from
Melghat Tiger Reserve.
Under this scheme, the Maharashtra
Forest Department is providing an eighty percent subsidy to unemployed tribal
villagers in the age group of 18 to 55.
In the month of March our field staff organised
meetings with villagers of Dhargad and Barukheda to provide details of this
scheme.
On 31 March, the fourth batch for the four-wheeler driver training program commenced the course. 11 young villagers from Dhargad
village are being trained by teachers from Akot Motor Driving School.
Prior to the start of the training
program, Deputy Conservator of Forests, Akot division, organised a meeting with
these candidates. During this meeting, the trainees were provided with information
about the training program and the vehicle purchase scheme.
