Kudumbashree launcheed 'Karuthal Campaign', a product- marketing campaign during this onam season for providing support to the Kudumbashree entrepreneurs and farming groups who had to face loss due to the covid-19 lockdown. The campaign aims at encouraging the entrepreneurs/ farming groups to produce and to rejuvenate the enterprises that had faced loss. Through this activity, Kudumbashree would be able to extend greater marketing support to the entrepreneurs and farming group members during these tough times. Kudumbashree also hopes to make available the best products produced by Kudumbashree enterprises to the NHG members during this onam season.
As part of the campaign, products from micro enterprises in various sectors and farming groups will be selected, packed in kits and be taken to all NHGs at the rate of Rs 500 per kit. The kits will be delivered to the NHGs through the CDSs and the NHG members may buy the kits in instalments. NHG members may repay the amount of the kits to the NHGs and a maximum of 20 installments are permitted for repayment. Kudumbashree District Missions collect the rates and other details of the products from the entrepreneurs in the respective districts and will inform the CDSs. CDSs prepare the list of those who need the kits from among NHG members and will inform DMCs. Products are collected from the entrepreneurs and the kits are prepared as part of the ‘Kathuthal’ campaign with leadership of the district missions. This is the process flow / logistics of preparing the kits. The vegetable kits are packed in the CDS level. In this way, products worth Rs.500 are taken to the NHGs in a single packet. It is expected that these activities will help in finding new market avenues for Kudumbashree's products and hope that it will result in earning additional income for them.
