Village Resource Center
To improve socio-economic conditions of weaker sections, four villages i.e. Shalla, Kanaid, Kalangar and Nagwain have been adopted by STD under integrated village development programme with the help of DST/CAPART. While irrigation channels and storage tanks have been provided, locals have also been trained to prepare vermi- compost for growing off seasonal vegetables to supplement their income.
