PIRUL Handicrafts – Crafting a Greener Future from Pine Needles

In the heart of Uttarakhand, where forest fires have become a recurring threat, PIRUL Handicrafts is turning a challenge into an opportunity. With over 71% of the state’s land covered in forests, the accumulation of dry pine needles—locally known as Pirul—has long fueled devastating wildfires.

To tackle this issue at its root, an inspiring group of 100 rural women in Champawat has come together to collect and repurpose these pine needles into exquisite handicrafts. Through their efforts, not only are they reducing fire hazards, but they are also creating sustainable livelihoods, preserving the environment, and showcasing the beauty of handcrafted eco-friendly products.

From intricately woven baskets to decorative homeware, PIRUL Handicrafts embodies the spirit of sustainability, empowerment, and nature-friendly innovation. Join us in supporting this movement—where every purchase helps protect forests and uplifts local communities.
