The village door to door survey came up with alarming possibilities of self help in rural masses. Msny women are skilled in carpet weaving. They make beautiful carpets with the left over cuttings. The major hinderence was the availibility of the raw material. Since there is neither boutique culture nor many tailoring shops, the raw material is not available and the skill lies dormant.
At this point the workers of the PARIVARTAN team collect left over cuttings from the tailors in Delhi and give it to the villagers. At present there is not much production as to go for marketing, but yes, they make enough to meet their own needs. Savings too is a part of income generation.
