After completing our relief and short-term recovery programme for the 1999 super-cyclone victims, NYSASDRI initiated a long-term rehabilitation and income generation programme in Ragunathpur block, Jagatsingpur district. An example of one of the many places we worked is Kakudia, a village of 50 households, and a hub of bamboo craftsmen.After NYSASDRI assisted villagers to rebuild their houses, they asked for help to revive their occupation of bamboo basket making, destroyed by the disaster.
