GREEN DRIVE: Saplings of native shola species were planted at the Pagalkodu Mund Eco Development Committee’s centre to mark the launch of works to construct a sales counter for handicrafts made by the Toda community and other Adivasi communities in the Nilgiris.
The construction of a counter to sell handicrafts made by members of local Adivasi communities began recently at the Pagalkodu Mund Eco-Development Committee (EDC).
President of the EDC Northay Kuttan, a member of the indigenous Toda community, said the sales counter would not only sell handicrafts made by the Todas and other Adivasi communities in the Nilgiris, but also sell products unique to the Nilgiris district. The construction of the counter was inaugurated by District Forest Officer (Nilgiris division) Guru Swamy Dabbala.
