Navi Mumbai Promotes Bamboo Christmas Decor by Tribal Women
In Navi Mumbai, a group of 300 tribal and Dalit women are making beautiful Christmas decorations from bamboo instead of plastic.
These decorations, like fairy lights and wreaths, are eco-friendly and help the environment.
The women live near the forests of Karnataka and Tamil Nadu and are supported by local groups and volunteers.
