• Under the project, 298 piglets were distributed to 110 beneficiaries covering all 24 villages in the sub-division. This project is implemented on the concept of sharing, where each beneficiary is bound to contribute 3 piglets to another family/individual when the pig litters, thus creating a cyclical pattern where the whole village will slowly be covered.
• This initiative will hopefully have a rippling effect for economic progress and encourage individuals and families to take up large-scale piggery projects whereby the area can become self-sufficient and gradually produce enough to explore outside the sub-division.

• To beautify, protect and conserve nature and minimise the effects of climate change and also encourage commercial plantation for economic gain, the “Green Pughoboto” programme was launched in 2016 under LADP. A massive tree plantation drive was carried out on 5th May 2016 where 17000 saplings were planted across 24 villages under Pughoboto Sub-Division. All SDPDB members were assigned one or more villages, where they were to liaise with the Village Councils and organize plantation drives. The plantation programme was met with a lot of enthusiasm and was a huge success.
• The second plantation was carried out on 12th may 2017 in all the 24 villages with the Village Council and Youth Volunteers overseeing the plantation drive. All the Government Departments  also participated in the plantation at the mini-secretariat area. A total of 10,000 saplings where planted.

• The third plantation was carried out in 2018 in all the 24 villages including Pughoboto town in June.

The fourth plantation was carried out in May-June 2019 but this time all the villages were asked to earmark a “community owned forest” in their respective villages where mass plantation of commercial species of trees were given and planted.
