Kudumbashree units to participate in Onam trade fairs

Thiruvananthapuram: As many as 42,000 Kudumbashree enterprises in Kerala will line up their varied and successful products in 1,165 special festival trade expos across the state during the Onam Season.

The trade fairs are being held at four levels, from panchayats to districts, covering the villages and cities in the State alike to add flavours to the festival season.


The fairs are being held from August 25 to September 8 and the first in the series was launched at Kannur yesterday.


''In the last three years, the number of Onam fairs has increased three times and made a significant growth in the turnover too.


The fairs will last from three days to one week and the women entrepreneurs under Kudumbashree fold will make a strong presence in the markets during the season,'' said Kudumbashree Executive Director Sarada Muraleedharan here today.
