Around 20‑40% of tribal families' yearly earnings come from forest gifts.
The program began in 2021‑22 to teach skills and provide tools.
Over 4,000 centers were approved, with about 2,900 already working.
More than 12 lakh tribal members are part of the program.
Women’s groups have sold products worth about 11 lakh Indian rupees.
The government started a program to help them turn these goodies into things they can sell.
Groups of about 300 people work together in special centers to make new products.
Women also join and create things like pickles and powders.
This helps families earn more money and protect the forest.
