Info International Education and Welfare Society is a well established non- government organization founded in the year 2000. Since then the society is working in the development of rural and urban people in various fields. The great achievement of the society is in the field of information technology. At the time of foundation of the society, it is clear that this organization works to make the rural youth more strong towards improving their life style and living standard, and make them fully self dependent by providing them modern education and also familiarize them with the traditional techniques such as agro-culture farming, medicinal plants farming, organic farming and so many others.
To fulfill its aim the organization established many IT centers in the garhwal region of Uttaranchal and collaborate with the existing institutions to provide the computer education at free of cost to the poor youth of their region. The same time the organization notices a very harassing phase of this literacy in the form of immigration. Approximately all the youth of this generation are not willing to live in the hilly region of the state, because of the less than desirable sources of income. So the organization decided that to provide and motivate the youth towards those sources of income which are money generating and which can prevent them from immigration. The organization continuously working for it and it founds that in the hilly region of the Garhwal the traditional farming with latest scientific approach is successfully maintained and this is also very productive in increasing economic condition of the peoples.
The organization feels that every body can’t be master in the field of information technology. So to generate the income for non-IT people specially the women of Garhwal region, the organize starts to train the people in other source of income generation. Keeping the climatic condition of the Garhwal region in mind organization think to trained the persons in cultivation of Angora wool. This will be the great source of income for them.
Angora rabbit wool may emerge as an important source for income generation in the Garhwal region. The agro-climatic condition of this region is best suited to the breeding and rearing of Angora and Broiler rabbit. This source requires very less amount of agricultural land. It can be cultivated in the height of 3000- 6000 ft. above than the sea level. And all these requirements are fulfilled by the Garhwal , specially hilly area of Garhwal region. The wool of this rabbit is very much in demands in the country and also in the international market because of its quality. The demand of the angora wool is increasing day by day in the world specially in those countries where the temperature is mostly very less and in minus also.
With providing training for the Angora rabbit cultivation to the people the organization also searching for the new sources of income in the Garhwal region that attract the youth of this region and prevent them from leaving their native place in search of income. With the aim to provide the education to the youth it is also the first priority of the organization to check immigration and lift up the living standard of the poor families by providing them more and valuable source of income in their own or in nearby areas. It is also noticed that if youth getting much more salary and can produce money in their home villages then they are not willing to go abroad and to the plains.
After doing a vast survey and getting experience of living and livelihood in the hilly region of Uttaranchal, the organization make its first and foremost issue is ” To generate livelihood alternatives followed by Economic development and empowerment” for all the villagers of the region who willing to improve their living and still wants to be in their native places. It is the god blessing for all those peoples that many NGOs are working in different fields and in different ways to generate economy for this state. But still this is not sufficient for covering all the hilly region of the Garhwal . There required much more work done by govt. and also by the NGOs to work more in this region and makes the people.
