In the visit the participants observed various aspects of Bhujung village such as cleanliness, unity in development of the village, drinking water facilities, hardworking peoples, hospitality, afforestation, income generation activities - cash crops (tea and cardamom), practice of saving and credit, fund management, cultures and tradition. The 4-day tour has helped them to learn and appreciate how the local community working together can bring social and economic prosperity within the village.
