Tribal Products

Briefing media about the steps being taken by the government for the welfare of tribals, the minister said that financial allocations under centrally sponsored schemes have been increased significantly.

Stalls showcasing tribal products were the centre of attraction at an event organised by the Consulate General of India in New York to celebrate the International Day of Yoga, the Union Tribal Affairs Ministry said on Tuesday.

The agreement seeks to introduce tribal forest dwellers engaged in minor forest produces to newer processing technologies, product innovation, mentorship and transformational digital systems.

Tribal artisans will soon be able to sell their products at the click of a mouse with the government gearing up to launch a specialised e-marketplace for them this Independence Day.

As part of its efforts to promote products made by tribal people, the government is mulling bottling mahua, a traditional tribal drink, to sell it in the open market under the Van Dhan Initiative.

The Tribal Cooperative Marketing Development Federation of India Ltd (TRIFED), which is a national-level apex organization functioning under the Tribal Affairs ministry, has signed an MOU with Snapdeal, said a senior Tribal Ministry official.
