REAP PauriGarhwal

On April 21, 2026, a Block Staff Meeting was organized at the Vikas Bhawan Auditorium. The agenda of the meeting included a detail review of the last FY progress and detailed discussions were held on planning for the current financial year. Targets for each activity were allocated to the block staff. The meeting was attended by the entire district team along with all three staff members from each of the 15 blocks.

On April 16, 2026, the Chief Development Officer (CDO) convened an important departmental meeting with Block Development Officers, where a detailed review of various development schemes was carried out. Special emphasis was placed on convergence-related activities, with progress assessments of the Agriculture, Horticulture, Fisheries, Animal Husbandry, CAP, HRDI, Tea Development Board, and Panchayati Raj departments. The CDO directed all concerned departments to prioritize the selection of works and ensure that the benefits of schemes reach genuinely needy individuals, while giving special priority to women Self-Help Groups (SHGs). The meeting further stressed the adoption of a coordinated approach, fostering better inter-departmental synergy, and ensuring effective implementation of schemes at the grassroots level.

Today, at Kandoliya Ground in Pauri district, the Forest Department organized a special training session for women from Pauri, Kot Pauri, and Khirsu blocks. The program focused on teaching practical techniques for resin extraction from chir pine trees.
The initiative aimed to empower local women by providing them with hands-on knowledge of sustainable forest-based livelihoods. Through this training, participants learned both the scientific process and traditional methods of resin tapping, along with safety measures and environmental considerations.
Such efforts not only enhance skill development but also open up new opportunities for income generation while promoting community participation in forest conservation.

A significant step forward towards strengthening rural entrepreneurship and sustainable livelihoods!

Initiative for Rural Innovation in Uttarakhand

A significant step towards strengthening rural livelihoods and scientific value addition was achieved today with the signing of a between Govind Ballabh Pant Institute of Engineering & Technology Pauri Garhwal and Pauri Garhwal.
The MoU was signed by Prof. (Dr.) V.K. Banga, Director, GBPIET, and DPM, REAP Pauri. This collaboration will promote research, innovation, quality control, training and sustainable agro-processing, benefiting SHGs, CLFs, farmers and rural entrepreneurs, while also providing hands-on learning opportunities for students.
This partnership marks an important stride in giving new identity, science-backed value and market access to Uttarakhand’s hill produce.

On December 20, 2025, a departmental review meeting was held in the Vikas Bhawan auditorium under the chairmanship of the Chief Development Officer (CDO), in which the ongoing works under the Gramotthan Project (REAP), MGNREGA, and USRLM were reviewed.
During this, the DDO, PD-DRDA, BDOs, DPOs, BMMs, and the district as well as block-level teams of the Gramotthan project (REAP) were present.

The Pauri district has launched an innovative initiative to ensure full utilization of Malta fruit by using not just the pulp but also the peels to create income‑generating products. Under the REAP scheme and with support from the local federation, women are being trained to prepare bio‑enzymes, face wash, scrub, and marmalade from Malta peels, turning what was once waste into valuable items. The bio‑enzymes produced are completely chemical‑free and can be used as floor and toilet cleaners, plant boosters, and for pest and fungus control, offering an eco‑friendly alternative to chemical products. Alongside this, the federation is also producing 100% organic Malta juice without any chemical additives, purchasing Malta directly from villages at ₹15 per kilogram. This initiative not only promotes sustainability but also strengthens women’s participation and economic empowerment in the region.
