This project undertakes to provide people with disabilities equal
opportunities for participation and decision-making by providing them
an environment-friendly income generation option, so that they will
also be ultimately considered as 'human capital'. They undertake to
reduce the menace of paper waste in the pristine Ladakhi environment,
use it in an eco-friendly way by creating a market for handmade paper
products and forming local marketing committees. They will provide
training in recycling and identify government loans and schemes for
beneficiaries. This way a Waste Management System will be put in place
and an integrated movement for reducing environmental pollution, in
general will be facilitated.
