March 27: ‘A poem in Silk
And Gold’ is how one describes about the Royale traditional Paithani Saree of
Maharashtra. The saree which ages from
Centuries, strongly endorsed by Queen Nilofer, the daughter-in-law of the then
Nizam of Hyderabad, is doing rounds at SARAS- Aajeevika Mela 2018 at Pragati
Maidan in New Delhi.
In a visit to this Mela on Tuesday, the rich, elegant Paithani
Sarees were the centre of attraction.
Since, this is a hand woven saree, hence slightly costly, but, the
Paithani stall at Hall No. 7 was inviting tremendous response. The stall owner, Shri Giram from Paithan was
happy while sharing this response with the officers of Maharashtra Information
Centre. Contented with his sales on the
fifth day of the Mela, he said that he has also received customized orders.
The programme, Deendayal Antyodaya Yojana – National Rural
Livelihoods Mission (DAY-NRLM) is one of the flagship programmes of the
Ministry of Rural Development, Government of India to alleviate rural poverty.
The programme aims to organize the rural poor women into their own institutions
like Self Help Groups and their federations, Producers’ Collectives etc. and
also ensure their financial inclusion and livelihoods support. The SARAS –
Aajeevika Mela is one such platform, it has offered to rural artisans.
Maharashtra’s 14 Self Help Groups (SHGs) have participated in this
Mela through Maharashtra State Rural Livelihoods Mission (MSRLM). A wide range of products havebeen put on
display-cum-sale at this mela. Three
stalls from Gondia, two each from Ratnagiri and Aurangabad, one each from
Yavatmal, Kolhapur, Chandrapur, Nashik, Aurangabad, Wardha and Gadchiroli.
A variety of products have been put up for display-cum-sale. Gonida’s Bamboo handicrafts, Gondia’s ‘Bhatki’
