Herbal products are becoming popular in society and their demand is showing regular increase in the market. A study was undertaken to assess the number of herbal products in selected categories of face care, tooth care, hair care and foot care at Haridwar, Uttarakhand. It was observed that maximum number of products were available under hair care category followed by face care, tooth care and foot care. Price-wise, face care products were the costliest among these.Keywords

Industrial Hemp, commonly known as 'Bhang', is an underutilized biomass found in Uttarakhand. Its stem shows fibre properties ie., cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin. Samples 'A' and 'B' of Industrial Hemp fibre (Bhang) were made and sample 'A' was chemically treated with washing soda and 'B' with Boric acid. These chemically treated fibre samples were carded and spun in Nandprayag (weaving cluster developed by Uttaranchal Bamboo and Fiber Development Board-UBFDB). The spun fibre showed less breaking percentage and its appearance was white hence it can be used in textile/cordage at cottage entrepreneurship level. However due to lack of awareness, development of processing methods for fibre, Industrial Hemp and its use in textile/cordage industry these remain undeveloped and unexplored in Uttarakhand. Hence, UBFDB is undertaking continuous efforts to establish this Industrial Hemp fibre at commercial level to provide employment to local people of Uttarakhand.Keywords

We present the outcome of innovative action research as capacity building for marginal and smallholder farmers and other stakeholders of Central Himalaya through strengthening social organization and entrepreneurial initiatives. By this, GBPIHED (Garhwal unit) established rural technology demonstration and training and capacity building centre (RTDTC) at three different locations equipped with 13-15 simple and specific technologies. About 41 on site training, capacity building and skill development programme were organized since 2000 in which 3860 participants were trained. The participants were provided on site demonstration, training and technical know-how about various technologies, which enable better understanding of problems faced by the farmers as well as sustainable management of natural resources. Consistent monitoring during and after the programme, feedback from people after adoption of technologies and income earned by each households from individual or grouped of technologies adopted were evaluated and analyzed. The documentation and analysis of action research (quantitative&qualitative) and data related to cost benefit analysis of the technologies adopted by farmers generated through this study has created room for wider sharing of farmer training outputs both at the farm level, and amongst the scientific communities and policy makers. Furthermore, the programme has shown that there is a need to develop and update location specific modifications in technologies has already been introduced /developed so as to maximize the sustainable use of local natural resources and reduce the cost use of external inputs.Keywords
