Meghalaya is a major producer of tea and silk in the country and earns the majority of its income from the same. However, almost every year three to four waves of flood ravage the flood-prone areas of Meghalaya. Because of the unpredictable weather patterns, small land holdings, lack of infrastructure and resources, technological intervention, and poor connectivity to the mainstream market, the farmers majorly practice mono-cropping. To combat this problem, SankalpTaru Foundation initiated Project Green Meghalaya. Apart from that, these saplings act as an additional income to the poor farmers, living in the remote areas of Meghalaya because of their tendency to grow and survive in dry as well as humid climate, the fruits of which when sold locally will help to stabilize their livelihoods.
