Women in Uttarakhand will be trained in beekeeping for MadhuShakti project
FMC India has collaborated with Govind Ballabh Pant University of Agriculture and Technology (GB Pant University) to develop entrepreneurship among rural women through beekeeping. The collaboration will help to generate sustainable income for their families and raise their living standard.
The project named MadhuShakti is a first-of-its-kind innovative sustainable development initiative in India. The three-year project is planned for the rural area of Uttarakhand.
Rural women from Sitarganj, Kotabagh, and the towns of Almora and Ranikhet will be trained in beekeeping. The produce will be procured by Honey Bee Research and Training Centre (HBRTC). The project will also closely monitor pollinator behaviour, generating a wealth of scientific knowledge that will benefit beekeepers across the country.
