Jalgaon district admin plans 11 Bahinai marts for SHGs
Nashik: The Jalgaon district administration has begun establishing marts to promote trade and commerce after disbursing Rs750 crore loan to over 30,000 women self-help groups (SHGs). These marketplaces are being set up at 11 locations across the district and will provide a place for SHGs to showcase their products to consumers. These will also include a restaurant run by the groups. "In Jalgaon, SHGs are very strong in terms of taking loans, running business and producing goods. With the administration's loan of over Rs 750 crore, they are manufacturing and selling items and earning their living. The administration is now providing them with a central space where they can do direct trade," said Meenal Karanwal, CEO, Zilla Parishad. The women self-help groups in Jalgaon are now engaged in marketing agricultural produce, producing local food like papads, crispies, spices, artefacts, and even rendering services like spraying pesticides using drones. They are looking for a market to grow. "District guardian minister Gulabrao Patil helped us get funds worth Rs 20 crore through the district planning committee funds to raise 11 such marts – termed as 'Bahinai Mart'. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Dieses Nagelpilz-Gerät bricht Verkaufsrekorde – aber funktioniert es wirklich?

There will be six marts in six different cities, including Jalgaon, Bhusawal, and others. The remaining five marts will be established at taluka levels in the district. The officer noted the mart would have a big hall in which the SHGs will display their products. On the first floor, there will be a restaurant where multiple SHGs will prepare food and serve customers. There will be a meeting hall on the same floor where the women SHGs can conduct training. The mart will be run by the cluster-level federations and will pay a nominal rent to the ZP, besides managing their own expenses. The foundation of the mart was laid by district guardian minister Gulabrao Patil on Sunday.
