| Women's role in production | Weaving of household items from bamboo and cane strips is a widely practised women's craft in Tripura's tribal villages, often organised through women's SHG federations promoted by the state's bamboo mission. |
Why this fits a low-wastage SHG model: A dry natural-fibre product with no spoilage risk, suited to steady production independent of any harvest season.
