Holi Approaches... Earn a Few Pennies

Udaipur, - Kalulal Meghwal from Bassi-Samchot (Salumbar) remarks that every member of the family celebrates their birthdays annually, and cutting a cake has become a common tradition on such occasions. After learning to bake cakes during the training, he has decided never to buy cakes from the market again but to prepare them at home. Rekha Meghwal, Kiran Meghwal, Komal Meghwal, Manju, Divya, Dhuli Bai, and Lalita Devi from the same village also displayed a renewed sense of confidence after the training.

Most of the young men and women who participated in the training on combating malnutrition with bakery products made from coarse grains found a golden opportunity in the business. These participants, aged between 25 and 30 years, expressed that until yesterday, they were unaware of the nutritional value hidden in grains such as sorghum, amaranth, finger millet, barnyard millet, and pearl millet. However, today they not only learned about the nutritional elements in these grains but also received vivid training on incorporating them into their diets.

Uday Lal Meghwal, Bhupendra, Nilesh, Priya, Sheila, Dikshita, Jasoda, Ramesh, and others enthusiastically stated that the festival of colors, Holi, is approaching. Chips, papad, and similar snacks are in high demand during this time. As soon as they return to their villages, they are eager to start new businesses. They expressed that they will earn a few pennies during the festival and will not let go of the skills learned during the training. Additionally, they mentioned that throughout the year, most women observe fasting rituals in households, and the country celebrates various festivals continuously. In such a scenario, there is a high demand for products made from coarse grains (whole grains), and starting a new startup will bring strength and new heights to their endeavors.
