Going green on Diwali has been trending this season. From green crackers to a complete ban on them, India has been calling upon citizens to save the environment, in turn safeguarding themselves.
In such times, Samaj Shakti Society, a non-profit social organization based in Tripura has introduced very beautiful yet completely safe bamboo candles during the Diwali season.
These bamboo candles are made by women who have been trained under the bamboo craft program of the NGO. They are made of four colors and different designs on bamboo shells that are filled with wax and a wick in the center. Apart from being used as candles, they can also be used as decorative pieces and pretty gifts.
The candles are available in the local markets of Tripura. These training programs have been conducted in collaboration with the Forest Research Centre For Livelihood Extension (FRCLE) with assistance from Director Dr. Pawan Kaushik.
The NGO has been engaged in various forms of humanitarian social service activities since November 2016. The society’s members always try to make their service available to every human without any distinction of caste, race, or religion because they believe God lives in every human being.
