Swayam Krishi Sangam (SKS) works with tribal women from ultra poor families in Koraput district, Orissa State, India to make fuel briquettes for cooking purposes as well as incense sticks used in Indian temples, churches and mosques after dipping them in fragrant scents. Tribal families are chronically hungry but remain economically active. Their highly forested habitat provides substantial biomass perennially, which is prime, raw material for making fuel briquettes.

Project Brief:
National Geographic Society, US is nonprofit arm of National Geographic helping to design and implement this unique project. Forest Bio mass is burnt or wasted and this project converts waste biomass into fuel briquettes through local appropriate technologies providing livelihoods for tribal poor and saving forests from fire. Appropriate Rural Technology Institute, Pune has helped design the hand rotated fuel briquette making units. 100 tribal households are involved in this need based and eco friendly livelihoods initiative producing fuel briquettes and marketing them. It saves precious bio mass from burning forests and also helps reduce carbon foot prints, simultaneously providing livelihoods.
