Sukma district has Madia Gond, Halba, and other tribal heritage with traditional crafts plus rich forest cover. The district has development challenges from Maoist activity and corresponding CSR support. A producer cooperative organising 30-40 tribal women across crafts and forest-produce aggregation captures both heritage premium and CSR-funded development.
Capex of 4-10 lakh covers shared workshop tools, raw material stock, drying area, packaging, and brand support. DCH (handicrafts) plus NMPB (forest produce) jointly fund up to 60% capex. Hard parts: security situation, ethical tribal engagement, and shipping logistics. Realistic: 3-4 years to break-even with CSR partnerships.
