dc.description.abstractThe Darshna Mahila Kalyan Samiti (DMKS) started a training programme for master masons in Bamari Village, Chattarpur district, under the Poorest Area Civil Society Programme (PACs). They also mobilized women to take up training in constructing habitat products such as roofing tiles, fencing poles and cement pots. Since agricultural labour is seasonal and rarely meets their basic needs, the work provides a regular income throughout the year. DMKS staff say the women are more efficient in marketing and sales than their male counterparts, are extremely aware of the rates, and never get fleeced. Limited supply of electricity is a major problem.en
