She always wanted to find a better way to get answers to her pressing family need but due to her financial inability it was not possible for her earlier. The BMMU Silchar identified her need and motivated her to take up the mushroom cultivation, which requires low investment.
Mushroom cultivation can directly improve livelihoods through economic, nutritional and medicinal contributions. Mushroom cultivation can help reduce vulnerability to poverty and strengthens livelihoods through the generation of a fast yielding and nutritious source of food and a reliable source of income. Since it does not require access to land, mushroom cultivation is a viable and attractive activity for both rural farmers and peri-urban dwellers.
