The project, inaugurated by eminent scientist M S Swaminathan, created new avenues for villagers.
They are being trained for fishery, bakery, masonry, and beekeeping. "We are training them to utilise all possible local resources," said Dr Anil P Joshi, founder, HESCO. He scripted the plan with Kanti Bajpayee, headmaster, The Doon School.
Nearly 65 villagers of nine families in Fatehgram, hitherto known as Fatehpur, have benefitted from the programme.
