Malda District of West Bengal has tied up in a big way with CSIR for using appropriate cheap rural technology and CSIR Scientific Expertise to improve Ruarl Livelihoods, especially of women and Self Help Groups. The Anandadhara Office under the Project Director, DRDA, Malda is taking a key role in this tie up and social enterprise. This power-point explains in the first Workshop held on 24.3.15 by PD DRDC Malda with CSIR to convince stakeholders the need for this new and novel step.

3. HOW AND WHY THIS WORKSHOP?
• 1. “LIFE IS A GAME OF POSSIBILITES”--- CSIR
has such Rural Technology Facilitation Centre
Program. In SYNERGY , MALDA 2014-15 the initiation
was done. If others can, why not Malda?
• 4. “TECHNOLOGY MADE LARGE POPULATIONS
POSSIBLE, LARGE POPULATIONS NOW MAKE
TECHNOLOGY INDISPENSABLE” – To solve our
problems and issues of sustainable livelihoods under
resource constraints ,we must leverage technology.
