The first women’s Handicraft Fair on 7th-9th September at Salt lake AJ block Playground kicks off in a bid to provide the women of the society both young and old to create an opportunity and showcase their products. It was an initiative to learn from each other to boost business. The fair was organized by the women of the community of Salt Lake, sector II.
The organizer said that all the preparations have been completed by the ladies. The food festival- exhibition and sale fair brought women from all over Kolkata to display their hand-craft products like bamboo goods, painted-customized shoes, home-made skin products, paintings, silver Jewellery, and many such items. “This is the first time we are holding a food festival with Exhibition and sale which focus on handicrafts items made by ladies of this community,” said one of the stall member. Handicraft is the best platform for women to display their talents. Due to lack of proper marketing and business linkages, women can’t achieve the targeted growth. But things are changing for good.
If you haven't experienced any such handicraft show or fair in Kolkata recently, then next time you should attend AJ Block Play Grounds puja at Salt Lake. “I use to work in a school but destiny had a different plan for me. I found my love for painting and now I simply showcase my imagination through colours. I paint on canvas shoes, Rajasthani Koti even Kurtis and they depict some stories. They are all painted by me,” quoted member of a stall. The visitors said that holding such events will help the ladies to become self-reliance and more professional. We, the Jiyo Women team salute the initiative taken by AJ block, sector II and the community member.
