Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik on Thursday announced a new scheme
to benefit the Kendu leaf binders most of whom are tribals and poor.
Under the new scheme, mosquito nets,
lanterns and blankets would be distributed free of cost among the genuine Kendu
leaf binders.
The new initiative would benefit an
estimated 18,000 tribal and poor families.
Patnaik asked the Forest Department
officials to provide these essential materials to the Kendu leaf binders in the
presence of elected representatives of the locality, BDOs and tehsildars.
The materials should be procured
locally, Patnaik said.
