Women join self‑help groups that provide training, savings, and access to small loans.
Successful businesses include wood carving, ethnic clothing, ragi processing, and cashew processing.
Some enterprises generate annual turnovers ranging from sixty lakh to over one crore Indian rupees.
The fair offers a platform for showcasing products, meeting buyers, and building market connections.
Government programmes such as the Prime Minister's Employment Generation Programme support these entrepreneurs.
Stories such as Chandrakala’s wood‑carving workshop and Siddhi’s ethnic‑wear boutique show how skills, finance and market access can turn small ideas into enterprises with turnovers up to one crore rupees.
Collective groups also support farmers like Kunwari Barwa, who turned savings into a ragi processing business employing many women.
The event aims to encourage financial independence and expand opportunities for rural women.
