Bhoruka -SKDRDP Center for Rural excellence
 In order to promote rural excellence a collaborative effort has been made
with SKDRDP, which has been, sponsored by Padmabhushan Dr. Veerendra
Heggade, who drives a mission to work with the poor and weaker sections,
particularly women. Siri is one of the projects under this collaborative
effort to empower women socially and economically by promoting their
entrepreneurial skills. The center is located at Beltangady, Dakshina
Kannada Dist. Under this scheme the women are given training in lucrative
business areas like dairying, composting, sericulture and bee keeping etc.
The project also promotes business ventures like manufacturing of chemical
items, bakery products, resin bags, ready-made garments squashes, pappads,
condiments, sweets, pickles etc. About 1000 families are involved the process. MICRO CREDIT SYSTEM
To save the poor rural masses from the clutches of the moneylenders and
help achieve economic self-sufficiency, the Bhoruka has introduced micro
credit system wherein each eligible group is given a credit of Rs.
25,000/- to start income generation activities. It is found that about 60% of the groups have utilized the money for improving their agriculture and milk production. Some groups have invested in petty shops, floor mills, chili and turmeric pounding machines etc. They are also allowed to use the credit for health, social and educational purpose. |
