MSME Minister of State Pratap Chandra Sarangi also distributed 700 bee boxes among 70 migrant workers in Saharanpur and Bulandshahar districts of Uttar Pradesh through which they would be able to start their own business by keeping bees.
Bee boxes were distributed
Bee boxes were distributed to 40 migrant workers of Saharanpur and 30 migrant workers of Bulandshahr on behalf of the Minister of State for MSME. All of them returned to their homes from states like Karnataka, Maharashtra, Gujarat during the lockdown and were facing an economic crisis due to no work. KVIC has identified these workers since the Prime Minister’s call for “Self-reliant India”, providing them 5 days training for beekeeping and the necessary tool kits and bees to start beekeeping activities. Boxes were given. There is a suitable environment for beekeeping in western Uttar Pradesh, there are many types of crops and tree plants from which the city can be produced in this area.
