Brief
about District
WB’s
poverty alleviation project kicked off
Aug
29, 2005
The
Natural Resources Management and Integrated Livelihood
programme (NaRMIL), a rural development programme,
was kicked off recently in a meeting held at the Jawaharlal
Nehru College, Boko, which was attended by Forest
department officials of Assam and members of the Centre
for Rural Development, an NGO. The project is aimed
at reducing poverty by several income generating activities
among 1,200 families of Bamunigaon, Bondapara and
Singra forest ranges under West Kamrup Forest Division.
It may be mentioned here that the World Bank has sanctioned
two pilot projects to be executed on experimental
basis — one at Bamunigaon under West Kamrup Forest
Division and another at Hojai under Nagaon South Forest
Division. The fund earmarked for these two pilot projects
is Rs 15 crore, official sources said.
