Kottayam: The Rubber Board will provide financial assitance to support formation of Rubber Producers' Socieities (RPSs)
and Self Help Groups (SHGs). The scheme has provision to support special programmes aimed at the socio-economic development of the poor farmers and their familes, an official spokesman said today.
The scheme is meant for the development of the small holding sector, which is responsible for the lion's share of natural rubber
production in the country.
The scheme is aimed at promoting group approach for the effective modernization and improvement of the NR sector, as individual approach is not practical following large number of such holdings.
The rate of assistance offered Rs.6000 for the formation of new RPSs and Rs.3000 for SHGs.
Such SPSs/SHGs will be provided with 150 budded stumps and 200 metres of budwood at 50 per cent cost finalised by the board or Rs.2500 per RPS/SHG whichever is less for raising rubber nursery. Fifty per cent of the actual expenditure or Rs.5000/-, whichever is less will also be granted to these RPSs/SHGs for conducting medeical camps,
