LIVE FOUNDATION with an objective of conservation and sustainable forest management in Palamu, Latehar and Dumka districts, organized trainings to strengthen the gram sabha. The purpose of capacity building of gram sabha was to develop forest resource inventory and to orient and provide handhold support to forest dwellers at village level with a special focus on women and marginalized communities. The forest resources are an important contributor to the total livelihoods among the tribal communities in the block. Forest development integrated with agricultural progress has great potential to enhance livelihood security, poverty reduction and food security for the vulnerable community.

In Palamu, LIVE FOUNDATION took the initiative of identifying the pastoralists groups and conducted an in-depth research study on their lives and the dying culture of pastoralism in a bid to rejuvenate their dying cultures and more importantly the vanishing small-scale woolen-blanket making industries.
