**Fourth Quarter Grove Update of SRI Project**

**Reporting Period: July 2026 to September 2026**

**Date: 09-10-2026**

**Output 4: Promotion of Ethical, Sustainable, and Viable Business Enterprises**

This quarter, the Timbaktu Collective continued to strengthen the promoted enterprises through improved infrastructure, equipment, and production facilities.

**Dharani Processing Unit:** To enhance operational capacity and efficiency, the Collective procured two oil rotators, a forklift, and a stitching machine for the farmers’ cooperative. Work on a new Bio-Resource Centre also progressed, with a dedicated shed constructed and flooring completed.

**Bhavani Chethana Sangam – Weaving Unit:** The unit, which creates handwoven and naturally dyed products such as sarees, dhotis, towels, and garments, strengthened its production facilities with the procurement of a garment steamer, boiling vessels, and bending rods.

These investments mark important steps towards improving production efficiency, strengthening traditional crafts, and supporting sustainable livelihoods through community-owned enterprises.

**Here are a few glimpses!**
