Gumla district has rich Oraon and other tribal heritage — distinctive paitkar paintings, dokra metal-craft, bamboo work, plus forest-produce traditions (mahua, kendu leaves, wild honey). A producer cooperative organising 40-60 women across crafts and forest-produce aggregation captures both heritage streams.
Capex of 5-12 lakh covers shared workshop tooling, drying area, packaging, and brand support. DCH (handicrafts) plus DAY-NRLM (SHG grants) jointly fund up to 15 lakh in matched grants. Hard parts: design adaptation, tribal community engagement (must be ethical and respectful), and shipping logistics. Start with crafts (steady year-round work); forest-produce aggregation in year 2.
