Mostly farmers, the target population earn their living through planting rice ,edible root and a few other crops. The practice depends upon the annual rain thus affects the yield,selling price and livelihood security.
The main goal of the group ( ... )
promote and build capacity of community to an extent of self-reliance level by applying local knowledge to add value to community product matching the demand and standard of both domestic and foreign market. One major activity of the group is food processing where plentiful fishes of native species are processed into fermented fish ,dried fish and fried fish then placed into market. The activity

Environment Problems and Livelihood: Corn and paddy are two major crops grown in project location. Hog raising , though less important in former time, has been a common practice and now gradually gained more importance. Excessive hog manure renders local environment problem with regular complaint from community members. Biogas technology offers one of the telling solutions.
