2. Jharkhand – The land of forests

3. A brief about Jharkhand
• Jharkhand means land of forest, mountains and
river.
• Jharkhand alone accounts for 40% of resources in
India. Like coal, manganese, bauxite, iron, mica
etc.
• Jharkhand is famous for tribal community and
Ayurveda.
• Since Independence Jharkhand is being exploited
by Government and Industries for minerals.
• Jharkhand is also considered as the poorest state
of India.

4. What do we mean by Saving the Girl
Child ?
• It is high time in Jharkhand now.
• Beside having a serene beauty of nature.
• Harsh reality is that Jharkhand is No.1 for girls
early marriages in India.
• Nearly 30,000 girls and women are trafficked
to cities for prostitution.
• Here our aim is to save the girl child from early
marriages and Girl trafficking.

5. What is the situation of girls ?
• In Village Banta/Hazam there are Govt. Schools
where girls get free education upto 10th class.
• After 10th education is not free in that region.
• So almost 80% of girls are being married at the
age of 15 or 16.
• The community people are poor, so they cannot
afford the cost of Intermediate or Graduation for
their children.
• So the girls are getting married under the societal
and peer pressure.

6. What has Antral/
done so far ?
• In that region so far Antral/
with the
community support has started a community
school and has been working with it since 2013.
• We have employed two girls as teachers in that
school. Now they are earning a bit for themselves
and educating themselves.
• We are also running a creative learning space for
the children of the community in the evening.
• But the need of the hour is more, in order to save
the girls from early marriages.

8. How would we do this ?
• We have planned to employ the 10th passed out
girls by self – directed Agarbatti making unit.
• By opening a Agarbatti making unit we would be
saving at 12 to 16 girls from early marriages.
• This would be a breakthrough and within some
years we would be able to multiply the effect.
• It is said that if you ever wonder to make a
difference then just touch one life.
• Here we would be impacting 12 to 16 lives at a
time and many more in the near future.

9. Why an Agarbatti unit ?
• It would be an low budget cost-effective model
for the 10th passed out girls.
• The most important raw material used in making
agarbatti is bamboo. And in Jharkhand bamboo is
very easy accessible.
• The tribal community is supporting us by giving
us the space to work and the bamboo.
• We would also be getting support from some
people for marketing the raw agarbatti or packed
agarbatti.

10. How are we going to establish the
Agarbatti unit ?
• We have planned to purchase three
machineries from a Innovator of
Ahmedabad,Gujarat Mr. Paresh .K. Panchal.
• He innovated three machines for making the
production easier and highly productive.
• The machines are manually operated and safe
to work with.
• Mr. Paresh has specially designed these
machines for tribal community.
