Ecogreenunit Foundation conducted an orientation programme for staff members of the Meghalaya State Rural Livelihoods Society (MSRLS) at Shillong, Meghalaya, focusing on innovative livelihood projects, green entrepreneurship, skill development, and sustainable rural development.

The programme introduced participants to a range of eco-friendly, income-generating activities, including Areca Leaf Plates Making, Banana Fibre Extraction, Coir Pots Making, Banana Fibre Mat Weaving, Coconut Shell Crafts, Biochar Production, Lantana Camara Crafts Making, Vetiver Cultivation, Microgreens Cultivation, and Aloe Vera Cultivation.

The orientation highlighted the potential of locally available agricultural resources and natural materials to create value-added products, reduce waste, and generate employment opportunities for rural communities. Participants were introduced to the practical applications of these projects, their potential for entrepreneurship, and opportunities to empower women, Self-Help Groups (SHGs), farmers, and rural youth.

The programme also emphasised sustainable farming practices, circular economy principles, environmental conservation, and the development of community-based enterprises. The knowledge shared is intended to support MSRLS staff in identifying suitable livelihood opportunities and facilitating their implementation among rural communities across Meghalaya.

Through this initiative, Ecogreenunit Foundation aims to strengthen rural livelihood promotion through practical technologies, capacity building, and sustainable entrepreneurship, contributing to inclusive economic development and environmental sustainability.
