The Ministry of Women and Child Development is hosting the 7th ‘Women of India Organic Festival’ from 6th to 10th February, 2019, at Sampradaya Vedika, Shilparamam, Hyderabad, to promote and celebrate women farmers and entrepreneurs in the organic sector from different parts of India. Minister for Home Mahmood Ali has inaugurated the festival here.
The Women of India Organic Festival has been held annually in New Delhi since 2015. To tap into people’s growing interest in organic products, the organic festival now enters Telangana at Hyderabad, the doorway to South India. Women organic farmers and entrepreneurs will showcase an elaborate array of organic products. The festival has certainly succeeded in its aim, which is to connect Indian women farmers and entrepreneurs with more buyers and thus, empower them through financial inclusion.
With each passing year, the Festival has received extremely encouraging responses from New Delhi, Mumbai, and Chandigarh. The increased sales and footfalls at every Organic Festival bear witness to the fact that people have embraced the organic movement.
For the first time, the Women of India Organic Festival is venturing into southern India with a hope to receive an overwhelming response, similar to earlier six other festivals.
