 Methodology Adopted

• Rural Employment Sector Create Sustainable employment for handloom weavers and handicraft making artisans in the rural areas worldwide.
• Health Care sector. Screen the population in the rural areas for Diabetic mapping and create an infrastructure to prevent diabetes and ultimately build on this experience to build and provide LOW COST MULTIPLE DIAGNOSTIC CENTRES in the rural areas world wide.
• Insurance Sector. Low premium based Life and Health Insurance with group schemes for the rural population worldwide.
• Education Sector. Providing linkages to wards of handloom weavers and artisans through scholarships.
• Entrepreneurship Building. Encourage marginal entrepreneurs in rural areas by providing Micro Finance linkages.

• EXOTIC ECHO is one of the approved nodal agencies under the Department of Rural Development which has the mandate to train grass root level weavers and help them on the path of self employability. We have decided to create a NODAL TRAINING CENTRE for our weaving initiative of the organization in the Diezephe village,near Dimapur in Nagaland.
• EXOTIC ECHO has also been designated as a preferred partner organization by BAYER HEALTHCARE to promote an awareness and screening programme for diabetes in North East India. We have decided to set up the NODAL TRAINING CENTRE for training the diabetes healthcare educator cum employees at the Konton–U-Mon hamlet of Nongkrem, near Shillong in Meghalaya.
• EXOTIC ECHO has already created the basic infrastructure for computer based classroom teaching with internet connectivity with basic printers to support / take printouts at Diezephe. Although these are very rudimentary, even these rudimentary facilities are beyond the scope of imagination of the grass root level weavers.
  • We are in the process of reviving six Government installed “Fly Shuttle Looms” and now under the Women’s Society of Diezephe. These looms are in a state of disuse and need urgent repairs. We have taken up a programme not only to repair the looms, restore the shed where they are housed but also pay rentals for the looms to the Women’s Society.This infrastructure would be ready by Feb end 2009.
• We are commencing work on the 01 March to set up a eco freindly temporary working shed to accommodate at least 20 weavers for their practical training and aim to complete the work before 31 March 2009.
• We are also in the process of arranging for infrastructure to board and lodge upto 20 people in Diezephe at a time for our ever increasing members who have started coming to our project office for standardization, integration and new skill development programmes. We would be ready to handle a load of 20 trainees from the 15 April 2009.
