Women entrepreneurs to showcase products


Mangalore Today News Network

Udupi, Feb 5, 2016 :  POWER - Platform of Women Entrepreneurs is organising a two-day exhibition-cum-sale of products manufactured by women entrepreneurs of Udupi district and other places titled “Power Parba” (power fest) here from Feb 6, Saturday.  The theme of the fest is: “Purchase for a good cause.”

Addressing media, Saritha Santosh, president of POWER, said that various items, including handicrafts, jewellery, textiles, garments, fashion accessories, cosmetics, home decor and paintings, would be on display at the exhibition.

About 110 women entrepreneurs, including about 20 from Tamil Nadu, Goa, Maharashtra, West Bengal and Punjab, had already registered their names for the event. Hence, 110 stalls would be put up at the MGM College campus, where the expose is set to be held.

Nearly 300 women entrepreneurs are expected to participate in the fest and about 3,000 consumers likely to visit the venue. Purchase for a good cause is the slogan.

While women had manufactured a variety of products, they were finding it difficult to market them. Therefore, the intention of the fest was to help them publicise and market their products and promote networking with other entrepreneurs. The fest would provide the women entrepreneurs with technical inputs on furthering their business.

The fest would help create awareness among people about the products manufactured by women entrepreneurs.

As a precursor to the fest, a vehicle rally would be taken out from the district office complex at Manipal to MGM College to propagate the message of road safety and importance of wearing of helmet, besides the fest, at 3 p.m. on Friday.

Established in 2009, POWER is organising “Power Parba” for the first time.  Renu Jayaram, founder-president of Power; Gayatri Raja, vice-president; Thara Thimmaiah, joint secretary; Jayashree Krishnaraj, chairperson of the sponsorship committee, were present.
