What this scheme offers
Tapping toddy — climbing palm trees daily to collect sap — is genuinely dangerous work, done at height, often on trees with no safety equipment, by workers who typically can't afford modern climbing gear on their own. Adarana 3.0 gives toddy tappers in Andhra Pradesh a free moped, making it easier to travel between trees across a wider area, along with modern tapping and climbing tools that make the work itself safer and more efficient than traditional methods.
