Mann Deshi Mahotsav

Where Urban Customers meet Rural Women Entrepreneurs, Artisans & Farmers.

Aims for creating a platform

  1. Enables our women sell their products
  2. Boosts their self-confidence
  3. Improves their entrepreneurship skills
  4. Increases their annual income over a period of time
  5. Provides women with long-term linkages to a better-paying marketplace


Mann Taluka may be arid and drought-prone, but our people make up for it with their vibrant colours, and their zest for life. Every year the Mann Deshi Mahotsav takes place in Mumbai and Satara, and sees our women bringing their culture, music, sport, produce, and art to welcome Mumbaikars and Satarkars to experience the culture and traditions of Mann taluka.

These women are all connected with Mann Deshi through one of our programmes. They have successfully built their own businesses and we are looking to further support them by providing them with a platform which will enable them to grow.
