Community besed Eco Rural Tourism

It works at grassroots level, appealing to the community to become active participants in developing a better life for themselves. It is the goal of JHS/ROSE to improve the health, education and quality of life of the rural poor in this region while maintaining cultural integrity and ecological balance. This goal is realised

through a programme which brings tourists /volunteers to Kanda to live with the Verma family as home stay paying guest , experience local Kumaoni culture and assist financially (administration fee, rent & optional donation) and manually, in the micro rural development projects of JHS/ROSE

Mr. Verma has created an exceptional example of responsible rural tourism that greatly benefits the community and the visitors through genuine, respectful cultural interactions. Verma’s family has lived in the Kanda region for generations. Therefore he has a deep understanding of the social, cultural and environmental issues faced by the local population. Most importantly, he recognizes that these three aspects are interdependent and integral parts of a fully sustainable system of living and all projects are approached with this in mind. Some examples of previous projects of JHs/ROSE include the installation of twin-tank latrines, construction of earthquake-proof homes, community educational programmes on sanitation, poor family house, livelihood program, dairy, poultry ,community centre, Fair price shop, and employment generation for the rural unemployed.
