Parwati, a tribal woman entrepreneur from Katekalyan village in Bastar’s Dantewada district, will soon tour the United Kingdom courtesy Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel.
She is one of the leading women of a Self-Help Group of Dantewada who recently sent a consignment of mahua flower to the UK.
During the outreach programme of the Chief Minister, she apprised Baghel that now their business has expanded overseas and that they have sent a consignment to the UK.
Expressing his delight, Baghel responded: “Wah, kya baat hai!"
Parwati earlier told Baghel that their SHG had collected 40,000 quintals of mahua this season. The decision to provide support price to the minor forest produce has provided relief to the tribals and has become a major source of income, she said.
