Under the CRA Action at Saidpur, a hands-on training session on paper bag and carton making was organized today for women from the Saidpur Harijan Colony as an initiative to promote alternative livelihood opportunities. A total of 20 women participated in the training.

The participants received practical training on producing four different types of paper products, including small and large cartons commonly used in hotels, small paper envelopes for pharmacies, and two types of paper bags widely used in fruit and grocery shops.

Alongside the skills development training, the participants were also connected with marketing channels to ensure that the products they produce can be sold easily in the local market. It has been agreed that the cartons can be sold at BDT 10 per piece, while the paper bags can be sold at BDT 70 per kilogram. Arrangements have also been made for the products to be collected directly from their homes at the end of each day.
According to the trainer, the women may be able to earn approximately BDT 18,000–20,000 per month while working from home. The Harijan women appeared highly enthusiastic and motivated throughout the training session.
