Beni, Aug 15 : The women associated with Galeshwordham
Mothers Group in Galeshwhor of Beni Municipality-9, Myagdi have begun producing
sandal.
The mothers' group began commercial

women attended a two-week-long special training and became able to produce
sandal commercially. The production was launched from the Group's own
building.

that they were making 'fancy sandal', aiming at replacing the import of sandal
in local market. With this, the entrepreneurship is expected to contribute to
women's income.
Chief District Officer in Myagdi,
Tulsiram Paudel, inaugurated the collective entrepreneurship of local women on
Monday. CDO Paudel, Mayor of Beni Municipality, Surat KC; and Ward Chair Chakra

mobile outlet at Galeshwor Temple Premises. (RSS)
