Over the past year, Bakdil has been working towards community mobilisation at a pan-Garo Hills scale. As a part of this endeavor, they have helped in the setting up of All Garo Hills Multipurpose Cooperative Society (AGHMPCS), an apex cooperative under which all primary cooperatives at local levels have been mobilised. AGHMPCS has been set up to formalise existing market routes, provide marketing guidance and financial aid to farmers in an effort to ensure improved livelihoods and market literacy. 

 

My role in this was to build the channels of communication in the form of branding, brand language, a brochure and a website to convey the cooperative’s intent, their plan of action and their vision for Garo Hills.
