Need for Aadi Mahotsav Festival
The middle man marketing and sales hinder the profit earned by the tribal population. Middlemen sweep away most of the profits. Artisans’ hard work goes in vain. The Aadi Mahotsav festival was launched to put an end to this middleman profiteering. The festival acts as a good market for craftsmen and artisans to promote their products directly. It provides direct access to bigger markets.
Significance of the 2023 Aadi Mahotsav Festival
- Organic products produced by the artisans are to play a bigger role in the 2023 Aadi Mahotsav Festival
- More than 39 Van Dhan Vikas Kendra are to participate in the festival
- Great opportunity to learn about the skills of artisans in remote places
