Integrated Rural Artisans Development Organisation Irado

The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is widespread in Assam, particularly affecting the poor and marginalized communities. In response, the organization has been actively engaged in providing crucial support and information to these vulnerable groups. Collaborating with NERAMAC, the organization conducted a COVID-19 Relief Camp on May 17, 2020, in Bahupara, Rani, Kamrup (R) District, Assam, benefiting 100 households. The relief camp distributed essential items such as face masks, sanitizers, soaps, and food, aiming to address the urgent needs of the most vulnerable residents in the area.

A Cluster Outcome Workshop was held on November 10, 2021, at the Indian Institute of Entrepreneurship, Lalmati, Guwahati, Assam, sponsored by the Ministry of MSME, Government of India, for members of Technical Agency (TA), Implementing Agency (IA), Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV), and Cluster Development Executive under the SFURTI scheme. Mrs. Monika Kardong representing the Implementing Agency and Mrs. Bobby P. Dhekial from HSPCL (SPV) participated in the one-day workshop. The workshop aimed to provide training to stakeholders for timely planning and implementation of clusters, ensuring that government interventions benefit the beneficiaries promptly, thereby enhancing production quality and increasing their income.
