If we make plates instead of selling leaf, it will generate employment for many...

My name is Fateh Singh. I am calling from Kendu village in Semaria block of Chatra district in Jharkhand. Here people sell leaves after plucking them from forest at the rate of Rs 5-6 per 100 bundles. There is so much employment around. If there is a factory of making the plates here then people will get a rate of at least Rs 10-15 per 100 plate. He also talks to a leaf collector who agrees that it will help the poor people. He requests govt to look into it. For more Fateh Ji can be reached at 08757324112
