Pact to promote cottage industries

 PATNA: The self-employment wing of the Women Welfare Society of Patna (WWSP) and the Bihar Mahila Udyog Sangh (BMUS) have signed a memorandum of understanding to work jointly and organise events for the promotion of cottage industries in Bihar.

This was announced by executive director of the WWSP Rozina Khanam and president of the BMUS Pushpa Chopra recently.
The WWSP has about 50 members in its self-employment wing, Khanam said. The organisation aims at providing a source of earning to all its members since most of them are uneducated. However, these women are good at crafts like sewing and hand work

 "We provide a market to all such women to sell their art form. We have decided to work jointly with the BMUS so that our members are able to participate in exhibitions and sell their crafts. We will also educate and train our members so that they become self-reliant," Khanam said.

"Economic empowerment of women, upliftment of cottage industries and providing a market to our members is the main aim of the BMUS," Chopra said. "The state government has done little to help us," she said, adding that in states like Rajasthan, the government has provided enormous help to its artisans as a result of which the state's cottage industries is thriving. "Our state does not lack in skill but the government does little to promote us," she added.
