Bokaro | 20 January 2023 – The local handicraft artisans are getting the much-deserving opportunity to showcase their craft to the larger public at the Swadeshi Swavalamban Mela. Amongst them are the women beneficiaries of Vedanta-ESL CSR’s Project JIVIKA who are exhibiting their handmade bamboo products, textile, mushroom, puffed rice, etc. at their stall which can be purchased at reasonable rates.
The Swadeshi Mela, currently ongoing at Sector-4, Bokaro, is yet another step in the direction of advancing the idea of building an AatmaNirbhar Bharat. The exhibition is live from 18 to 25 January 2023 from 10 am to 8 pm. Women beneficiaries of Project JIVIKA also have their products available on the Miri Circle app and one can book their desired choice of item through that app as well. It’s a novel move which is also contributing towards making a Digital India possible.
