Our Work Areas: Women's Income Generation Group - Spice Making Project

This Project started in 2004, is a modest step towards assisting women of marginalized communities in generating additional income for meeting their household needs, by utilizing their skills in the production of unadulterated spices, pickles and chutney. Sukarya provides women with space, capital investment, and other required resources for grinding fresh spices (including Besan, Dhania, Haldi, Chilly, Jira, Curry powder, Garam Masala) and packaging them. They are given wages for their labour. The money received from the sale of the spices is used to keep the Project running. The Project has benefitted several women of Wazirabad and Kanhai villages. Apart from production of spices we have also expanded our range of products to include Papad, Achar and Chutney so that we can involve and reach more families through this work. Sukarya further plans to form Self Help Groups (SHGs) of women from other villages of Gurgaon to involve them in such income-generation activities.
