Our first saving is going green... @JEEVIKA Shivpuri


Shivnagar-Tighra is one of the village from our 14 target villages under JEEVIKA project. A village which is surrounded by stones in place of trees. We (Jeevika Shivpuri) with community people decided to make it green and formed two SHGs Bala Jee SHG and Sidhdha Baba SHG (both are female shgs with 12 members/group) and decided to plant trees from theitr first saving. every member given Rs. 10 from their 1st saving, so we collected 240 Rs. and purchesed 26 trees from Horticulture Deptt.to plant at Shivnagar. On 8th July we distributed plants to members of both SHGs and planted trees there with community people. Remaining 24 trees will be purchesed and planted by Jeevika-Shivpuri as quickly as possible. That day the thirsty clouds were ready to pour rain (in one image you can see highly awaited clouds) so we left Shivnagar after distributing plants. Plants of Mango, Lemon, Guava, Amala (Indian Gooseberry), Sitaphal (Sugar-apple), Jamun (Syzygium cumini) and other plants were distributed there.
