Introducing Haybox in Orissa Manufacturing and selling hay boxes can be a good livelihood activity for women in the villages and also supports bamboo weavers if the product can be marketed well.
My Journey As a Chemical Engineer, I feel very much disturbed that the
contribution from us has been very less [mostly negligible] to overcome
such problems.

Click here to read the full report...>> Click here to see a short 4min video from the ground...>> Aug 6, 2011: Torrential rain during the month of June has left 5000 people homeless in the Murshidabad district of West Bengal. Nine villages on Nirmalchar have been completely flooded by the Padma River (sometimes known as Ganga) and about 15000 people have been critically affected. Nature took away the most from the ones who have the least – homes, utensils, clothes, grain stocks were destroyed and fields submerged. Majority of the affected population live on the infertile islands left behind by a shifting river course know as Chars.
AID Supports Immediate Relief Situation Worsens The situation worsened in the past few days as water levels rose and inundated 9 villages on Nirmalchar. There has been no media coverage and no Government assistance. MLC & SKMUK have been in touch with the block officials and are trying to mobilize Government relief. A lot more support is needed to provide the marooned people with food, water and temporary shelter. Please donate generously to AID’s All India Relief Fund.
