With the intent to introduce the rustic flavours and vibrant spirit of rural Maharashtra to Mumbaikars, Mann Deshi Foundation is back with a four-day fair (mahotsav) to celebrate the culture, knowledge and expertise of farmers and artisans from multiple villages and towns across the state.

“It is important to provide both dignity and the right price to the artisans and farmers of our state. We have been engaged in training and transforming women from rural regions of the state into successful entrepreneurs in our business schools since 2014. This event is a way for us to ensure that the women of our villages are self-sufficient and confident in their line of business,” says Chetna Gala Sinha, founder of Mann Deshi Bank and Foundation.
