The Mira Bhayandar Municipal Corporation (MBMC) has launched "Faral Sakhi," a program to support women entrepreneurs making traditional festive snacks (called "Faral").

Here's a simple explanation:

What is "Faral"? These are special snacks made during festivals in Maharashtra, India.

Who is involved?

  • MBMC: The local government body that started the program.
  • WEP (Women Entrepreneurship Platform): A national platform from NITI Aayog that helps women start and grow businesses.
  • CEGP Foundation: An organization that provides business training.
  • Women from Self-Help Groups (SHGs): Groups of women working together to improve their economic situation.

What are the goals of "Faral Sakhi"?

  • Create Jobs: Help women create permanent employment for themselves.
  • Support Local Economy: Boost the local economy through women-owned businesses.
  • Professionalize Snack Production: Provide a central kitchen for making the snacks in a professional setting.

What kind of support is provided?

  • Training: 25 women will receive technical training in business operations from the CEGP Foundation.
  • Resources: MBMC provides sales spaces and promotes the products through advertising.
  • Central Kitchen: A shared space for professional snack production.

How successful has it been? During the Diwali festival, the women sold over 3 tons of snacks.

What is WEP's role?

  • Aggregator Platform: WEP brings together resources and opportunities for women entrepreneurs.
  • Support Services: WEP provides access to finance, market connections, training, mentoring, and legal help.
  • Collaboration: WEP encourages partnerships between government, businesses, and other organizations to support women entrepreneurs.

What is the "Award to Reward" program? This is a program under WEP that helps develop impactful programs tailored to women's needs.

In simple terms: The MBMC is helping women who make traditional snacks by providing them with training, a place to work, and help selling their products. They're working with a national organization (WEP) to make this happen. This program helps women start businesses, create jobs, and boost the local economy. It was especially successful during the Diwali festival.
