In this exhibition, home décor items, like wall clocks, nameplates, creative planters, aprons, jackets, bags made up of scrape cloths were the attraction. The planters made up of waste material available at home like water bottles, pipes, plastic containers were liked by everyone.

In this exhibition, more than 10 different women empowering organizations have displayed their products. They have beautifully mentioned and described the process and utility of their products. These stalls include artisans of school age to 60 years. To motivate the artisan the visitors and the staff of Canara bank have purchased products and took interest in the making of products.

We want to provide the women artisans a platform where they can showcase and promote their art form and product. This is a great initiative that we have organized and in the future, we will organize more events.

My Nani passed away in March just before lockdown. I have passed the 12th exams as well. I had a lot of free time and my parents forced me to channelize my depression and anxiety. So I have started some creative work. Soon my work got appreciation, so I spread my work and named it Shobie Creations with help of my sister Sreemoyee. Now we sell them online as well. We are specialized in Handmade Decorative Wooden Wall Clock with Glass Covering that Can be customized and personalized to any shape, size, color, theme, design. We also have a good collection of fine artwork, customized nameplates, handmade Warli Themed Wooden Anchor Jewelleries, handcrafted especially for those ladies who wanna look classy and elegant

- Chinmoyee and Sreemoyee Biswas, Shobie's creation. I am making foodstuffs and snacks at home for many years. My aim is to make stuff with high nutritional value. So for that, I use to experimenting with ingredients. Instead of using sugar, I prefer refined jaggery. It's healthy and nutritious as well as preferable for diabetic patients. This time I have tried Asli muffins with this refined jaggery and I am so happy to know that everyone liked it.

- Rama Gupta, SPR creations Our aim is to utilize waste in the best way. So we use scrape cloths, old denim for making handbags. Using this zero waste scrape we design masks, small pouch bags. Our apron made with leftover cloths is our most liked products.

- Pooja Aiyangar, Mahashakti Seva Kendra We use to collect fabric scraps from boutiques and utilize them. Recycle them and design jeans bags, fabric jackets, table coasters, planters, utility pouches. We displayed the stall with our members Shalini Pandey, Rama, Sangeeta, Sarita, and Priya. - Mamta Vishwakarma, President, Samarth Mahila Samiti Jute is an environmentally friendly fiber and a raw material used for manufacturing a wide range of handicraft products as well. Jute has traveled a long journey from ‘sack’ to ‘sophistication’ and some of the diversified jute products have become the choice of connoisseurs too. We are showcasing jute as a diversified product, various stylish items like jute floor coverings, hand and shopping bags, wall hangings, gift articles, decorative fabrics. - Disha Wadhwani, Sakaratmak Soch Our stall's main attraction is our Samriddhi Bowl. It's a guggle diya that we have made using the leftover rose petals of Mandir and cow dung. Earlier we used marry gold flowers but they don't create great essence so we use only rose petals for better fragrance with the stuffing of pure guggle. We also use waste fabric sheets to make creative planters and home decor items. - Jyoti Verma, President, Nitya Ananta welfare society

We use to manufacture and produce a cold-pressed oil in sufficient quantities. Cold pressing is the intended extraction of oil without heat. However, no matter how you do it, there will be heat involved. The friction involved in crushing seeds to remove the oil will generate heat. So cold pressing is really about minimizing heat and keeping the product as cool as possible to provide a healthier, more flavorful oil. We have exhibited almond, sesame, and mustard oil along with multigrain flour, Bafla atta, Jau Daliya, Alsi and Mordhan chikki.
