The village-level programmes in the other two states were completed by March while the programme in North Sikkim was delayed due to the travel restrictions imposed for containing Covid19.

He mentioned that NEDFi under its CSR initiative introduced water hyacinth craft in the plain areas of the Northeast and since water hyacinth is not available in hill states it introduced large cardamom fiber, which is a very good raw material for craft items.

The Chief Guest, Sonam Lepcha, additional district magistrate, North Sikkim mentioned that this will help in effective utilization of discarded stems of cardamom, disposal of which had been an issue earlier.

He stressed the preservation of traditional crafts of Lepcha community.

MS Ramalingam, deputy director, Spices Board of India appreciated NEDFi for bringing the technology among the cardamom growers.

Karma Dorjee Lepcha, Zila Parishad member, appreciated the women group for coming out with good quality products during the programme and assured them to provide market linkage too, through the festivals and government programmes, said a press statement.

The function was also attended by officials from the Ministry of Textiles, DHH, Horticulture and Agriculture Departments, ICRI RRS, UNDP, etc., who highlighted the schemes and facilities available with their respective departments.
