Norbu Tsokpa
Norbu Tsokpa (collective) was initiated in year 2023 with an objective to set up an indigenous wool processing and production community facilitation center in the heart of the village Nyukmadung. It also serves as a research and development hub for the other Tsokpas.
15 women from the village were trained in basic weaving techniques on a frame loom for 35 days at the CFC, culminating in the first of its kind range of products made from indigenous wool of Arunachal Pradesh.
With a generous funding from The Darwin Initiative Biodiversity Challenge Fund UK, Its all folk in partnership with WWF India (Western Arunachal Landscape) established the first of its kind indigenous wool fibre processing and weaving Community Facilitation Center (CFC) at the pilot village Nyukmadung in year 2024. Under the project an industrial wool fiber picker and duster was procured to bring the important supply value chain step back to the village and improve the fiber quality exponentially.
The Tsokpa has received consistent up skilling support, with a natural dyeing training conducted as recently as 2026, contributing to long-term self-sufficiency for the community.
