On 14th November 2025, a VPIC Formation Meeting was held at Kanchikona Village under Rerapara Block, South West Garo Hills District. Kanchikona Village has 54 households and is inhabited by the Koch tribe.
During the meeting, the team provided a detailed explanation of the project objectives, the VPIC formation process, and the roles and responsibilities of the Executive Members, VCF, Local Purchase Committee, and Working Committee. The team also highlighted upcoming activities related to Plantation, FPA, and Soil & Water Conservation (SWC).
The team learned that the community was already aware of the project; however, they are currently facing challenges in identifying suitable individuals for the Executive Committee and Village Community Facilitator (VCF) roles. The community informed that they will conduct a follow-up meeting to discuss these roles and take a final decision regarding the VPIC formation.
