3. Community Development:
Another endeavour of Rubber Board which gathered acclamation
from all over the state is the empowerment of rubber
producers through group formation under the umbrella of
Rubber Producers Societies (RPSs).
Rubber Board has given financial and technical support for
organization of RPS and its sustainability. Now the total
number of registered Rubber Producers Societies is 176.
In order to support the RPS in marketing their produce, two joint
venture Companies (Rubber Board and RPS share) are
functioning as apex body of these RPSs.
4. Processing and Quality up-gradation:
Rubber Board offered 50% subsidy limited to Rs.18,00,000 to
RPSs for setting up of community processing centres. At
present there are 95 community processing centres (50 group
and 45 block) in the state which are set up with financial
assistance from Rubber Board. Almost all the GPCs are
making quality RSSIV grade sheets

Apart from its commercial value, rubber has been playing a vital
role in the rehabilitation projects for shifting cultivators (Jhumia)
for their social and economic uplift and for the forestation of
denuded forest lands.
Keeping this in mind, Rubber Board has been implementing Block
Plantation Scheme since 1992.
