5 | P a g e Likely number of artisans 786 Salient Features / Uniqueness of the The area is located adjacent to the infamous Golden Triangle, known for opium project production. The main aim of the proposed project is to transform the youth and locals from illegal poppy farming which is the main raw material for producing narcotics like opium and Heroin. Since there are no alternative sources of income in this remote part of India, the poppy cultivators do not have any other options. Recently during our interaction with poppy cultivators, they expressed that they are ready to give up illegal poppy farming and opium processing if any

suitable alternative can be provided to Figure 1: Golden Triangle earn their livelihood. The narcotics produced from these areas are smuggled to various parts of India. The government of India is fighting illegal narcotic trades for since long. If poppy cultivation can be reduced at the source, then the production of narcotics will be minimised.

Figure 1 Illegal Poppy cultivation field in the proposed area.

The initiative proposed by the Implementing agency is towards creating respectful earning opportunities for the rural farmers associated with poppy cultivation. The establishment of a spice processing unit in the proposed will provide employment and a better price for the farmers' spice produced in the area. Besides poppy cultivation, the area also produces good quality ginger, turmeric, and Kind chilly. A state of art processing & storage facility will definitely help the region grow respectfully.
