Seedling Nurturing at the Nurseries of Mukti

Tree planting and nurturing of seedlings are one of the oldest and best-supported forest stewardship programs. Planting trees provides benefits both to individuals and to society. The program’s objective is to nurture the saplings and then to sell them.

The influx of saline water, caused by Amphan, has rendered the soil unfit for agriculture forcing the men to migrate to places to work as daily wage laborers. It’s the women left behind who have taken up the responsibility of saving their life and children. Mukti is helping these women by creating opportunities like seedling plantation.

Under the plantation drive, the women are mobilized by Mukti and they are earning for their livelihood.
