Know the Vertical

Know About MTF Vana-Vani

Under this vertical, all welfare and entitlement work of MAGICTERRAIN FOUNDATION comes together.

The scheme already exists.The household does not reach it.

Rural and tribal India is not short of welfare schemes. The distance lies in the paperwork, travel, literacy and follow-up between a household and a scheme written for it.

A pension that is never claimed and a pension that does not exist look identical from inside the house.

Vana-Vani closes that distance. We bring the camp to the village, sit with the household through the form and stay with the claim until it lands.

Why welfare sits beside beekeeping

Income

Beekeeping / enterprise

Security

Entitlements / welfare

= A household that can hold its ground.

BEES builds honey income for vulnerable households in the same gardens. Income and entitlement must move together.

Bees without a ration card still leave a household one bad season from migration. A ration card without income still leaves the household poor.
