Two-day Gandhi Santhe draws good response at Heggodu

The Hindu reports on the success of the two-day Gandhi Santhe event organized by Charaka, a women’s industrial cooperative society, at Shramajeevi Ashrama in Heggodu. The event, part of Charaka’s Gandhi Pravasa sustainable tourism initiative, attracted visitors from Shivamogga, Bengaluru, Mysuru, and surrounding villages to explore stalls selling handloom and other village-industry products.

Charaka’s founder, Prasanna, emphasized the importance of providing pure, quality rural products to consumers and wholesale buyers, as well as ensuring artisans earn a fair wage to encourage local employment and prevent rural-urban migration.
