Ms. Kalpana Maharana, a resident of Brundabanpur Gram Panchayat of Ranpur Block, Nayagarh district, is one such artisan who has established a successful Appliqué works venture with the support of Odisha Livelihood Mission (OLM). On an average, she earns about Rs 11,000 to Rs 15,000 on a monthly basis by selling her products.
