Concept |
| |
| |
 Exotic Echo is a COMMON PLATFORM for people from multiple fields who have come together to make a difference to the rural population the world over. Exoticecho.com has been conceptualized with a vision to bring to its readers the social needs of the rural folk and the measures Exotic Echo has undertaken to ameliorate their hardships. The portal also adequately reflects the untiring and sincere endeavour of Supporting Self Help Groups rooted in rural India which are engaged in the social uplift of the underprivileged village folks. |

AREAS OF FOCUS |
| |
| |
To start with, the group has started initiatives
for rural sustainability in the North Eastern States of Nagaland,
Meghalaya, Manipur and Majuli in Assam, which is also the largest
river island in the world. Exotic Echo has a clear cut focus
to concentrate on four main fundamentals which it feels has
the potential to bring in prosperity and stem the migration
of rural population towards the urban areas the world over.
These are issues of EMPLOYMENT, BASIC HEALTH CARE, SOCIAL SECURITY
and MICRO FINANCE |
| |
| |
ONGOING INITIATIVES |
| |
|
 GUARANTEED WORK FOR 365 DAYS FOR
RURAL WEAVERS. Exotic Echo’s present initiatives
are in the field of creating rural employment. Exotic Echo is
engaged in providing guaranteed employment to 20 Below Poverty
Line (BPL) weavers in Nagaland and 05 in the Ukhrul District
of Manipur. Plans are afoot to add 05 more weavers from the
Ri Bhoi district of Meghalaya.
DIABETES
SCREENING FOR RURAL POPULATION. Exotic Echo VOLUNTEERS
are screening the rural population for diabetes in areas of
Nagaland, Meghalaya, Assam and Manipur. India unfortunately
has been tipped to become the Diabetes Capital of the world
in the next decade. Diabetes as an ailment is a silent killer
and yet does not figure on the radar of the National Rural Health
Mission because it is perceived to be a rich man’s ailment.
Our initial work in this field is breaking that myth as we are
finding that nearly 18 % of the sample size in rural India needs
to be educated and managed for the ailment. |
