for rural sustainability in the North Eastern States of Nagaland,
Meghalaya, Manipur and Majuli in Assam, which is also the largest

 GUARANTEED WORK FOR 365 DAYS FOR
RURAL WEAVERS. Exotic Echo’s present initiatives
are in the field of creating rural employment. Exotic Echo is
engaged in providing guaranteed employment to 20 Below Poverty
Line (BPL) weavers in Nagaland and 05 in the Ukhrul District
of Manipur. Plans are afoot to add 05 more weavers from the
Ri Bhoi district of Meghalaya.
DIABETES
SCREENING FOR RURAL POPULATION. Exotic Echo VOLUNTEERS
are screening the rural population for diabetes in areas of
Nagaland, Meghalaya, Assam and Manipur. India unfortunately
has been tipped to become the Diabetes Capital of the world
in the next decade. Diabetes as an ailment is a silent killer
and yet does not figure on the radar of the National Rural Health
Mission because it is perceived to be a rich man’s ailment.
Our initial work in this field is breaking that myth as we are
finding that nearly 18 % of the sample size in rural India needs
to be educated and managed for the ailment. |
