Haryana to Hold Monthly Melas to Promote SHG and FPO Products

The Haryana government will organize monthly one-day melas at district headquarters to promote products from Self-Help Groups (SHGs) and Farmer Producer Organisations (FPOs), supported by NABARD. This initiative, aligned with Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini's vision, aims to empower rural communities, especially women, by improving market access and addressing challenges faced by SHGs and FPOs. District Development Managers of NABARD will coordinate logistics, and authorities will select high-footfall locations to maximize public participation.
