Promoting Eco-Friendly Livelihood Through Jute Bag Production
The Jute Bags initiative by Baba Laxmi Narayan Sewa Samiti (BLNSS) focuses on empowering rural women artisans by promoting the production of eco-friendly and durable jute bags. With growing demand in retail, gifting, and corporate sectors, jute products offer a sustainable alternative to plastic while creating strong livelihood opportunities.
Through skill development, design enhancement, and market linkages, the initiative enables artisans to access wider markets and achieve consistent income.
