The Women and Child Development Ministry is organising a festival next week to promote women organic farmers and entrepreneurs.
Union Women and Child Development Minister Maneka Gandhi said over 500 women entrepreneurs would be coming together from across the country with their organic products such as cereals, rice, pulses, skin-care products, fabric and jewellery. “The move aims to empower women to boost organic culture and promote women organic farmers and entrepreneurs,” she told reporters.
“It is a matter of great satisfaction for me that the ministry’s efforts ultimately boost these illustrious rural women’s local communities and economy by creating jobs and keeping farmers thriving in addition to spreading awareness about the benefits of organic products,” said Gandhi.
