Organised by the Department of Empowerment of Persons with Disabilities (Divyangjan) under the Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment, it provides a platform to artisans from across the country. Held through October 6-15, the festival drew thousands of visitors to nearly 100 stalls set up at the venue, cumulative earnings crossed around ₹88 lakh, the organisers reported. Among the participants was 38-year-old Sanjeev Kumar from New Delhi, who lost his left leg to a tumour in 1999 and runs a textile store in his city. Expressing gratitude for the opportunity, he said: “The government has given us a new platform for work, we don’t have to depend on anybody else, and this gives us motivation.” Anju Rani and Praveen Singh, a couple from Faridabad, displayed their homemade pickles at a stall named ‘Ghar Ka Achar.’ They noted that all their stock was sold within the allotted time and a majority of their customers were men, as opposed to mostly women customers at other exhibitions. Approximately 100 disabled artisans, artists, and entrepreneurs from across 20 States and Union Territories showcased their products and skills across diverse categories such as home decor and lifestyle, clothing, and stationery. https://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/2023-10-16/th_hyderabad/articleGL6BSQGOK-4582221.ece -- सादर/ Regards अविनाश शाही/ Avinash Shahi सहायक/ Assistant मानव संसाधन प्रबंध विभाग/ Human Resource Management Department भारतीय रिजर्व बैंक/ Reserve Bank of India लखनऊ क्षेत्रीय कार्यालय/Lucknow RO विस्तार/ Extension: 2232 -- Disclaimer: 1.
