Balangir district has Kondh tribal craft heritage plus extensive small-millet (ragi, kodo, jowar) cultivation. A combined producer cooperative organising 40-60 women across handicraft (terracotta, basket, textile) plus a small millet-processing unit (flour, ready-to-cook SKUs) captures both economies.
Capex of 6-14 lakh covers shared workshop tools, small mill, packaging, and brand support. DCH (handicrafts) plus NMOOP (National Millets Mission) jointly fund up to 50% capex. Hard parts: design adaptation, millet brand-building, and shipping logistics. Start with millet (faster ramp); craft cluster in year 2.
