Society For Northeast Handmade Paper Development

Society for North East Handmade Paper Development (SNEHPAD) is a voluntary organization established in 2005 with its headquarters at Jorhat, Assam. The organization was founded with the vision of promoting village and cottage industries, particularly handmade paper, natural fibre, and other traditional livelihood activities, to create employment and income-generation opportunities for youth and women across Northeast India. Guided by its founding leaders, including Sri Jatindranath Das, Syed Altaf Hussain, and Sri Prakash Thakur, SNEHPAD began its journey by supporting handmade paper and natural fibre enterprises and gradually expanded its activities in response to the needs of local communities. Over the past two decades, SNEHPAD has evolved into a multifaceted development organization working in areas such as handloom promotion, Self-Help Group (SHG) development, sustainable agriculture, entrepreneurship development, microfinance, skill training, and integrated village development. The organization actively conducts awareness programmes, capacity-building initiatives, and livelihood interventions aimed at improving the socio-economic condition of poor and marginalized communities.
