The exhibition is organized by an NGO (Mahila Kalyan Udyog Kendra) based in Dehradun. Their main objective is to help women who have no means of livelihood - through training in stitching, Knitting, tailoring and education. They organize various fund-raising functions and exhibition under the banner of KAR KAMAL.
This exhibitions also intends to showcase products made by NGOs, micro-business that largely employ women and the differently able people and by other women entrepreneurs both within and out of Uttarakhand.
We participated in the exhibition last year. And the response was quite good. Most of them were students and were looking for products within a price range of 50-100 which Tibetan Women Centre had quite a variety to display and offer. One of our groups KKM is entitled for a stall every year without having to pay anything. Dekyiling Tibetan Women Centre does not have anything within the price range and so was taken into consideration.
We have to book a stall for INR 5000 for two days. I am all game for it!
