Norway To Support India’s ‘Hunger Project’ In Uttarakhand

• Norway has embarked on a significant initiative to support India’s ‘Hunger Project‘ in Uttarakhand. This project aims to empower women leaders, enhance food security, and protect the environment, particularly in the ecologically sensitive region of Uttarakhand. With a budget of ₹44.7 million and a three-year duration until September 2026, this endeavor holds great promise for the marginalized households in the state.

• The Hunger Project is primarily focused on building the capacity of elected women representatives (EWRs) and federations. These women play a vital role in strengthening local governance and, in turn, improving food security and livelihood opportunities for marginalized households. The project’s emphasis on strengthening van panchayats, or forest councils, is key to achieving these objectives.
