Nine tribal women entrepreneurs have taken the first step towards ensuring sustainable livelihood for their families through the sale of minor forest produce at fair price at Nelakottai in Pandalur taluk.
The women, members of the Kattunayakan community in Achchutham Moola in Kottayamedu, started the Nelakottai Kattunayakan Women’s Cottage Industry Co-operative to sell minor forest produce, including honey, greens, yams, spices, vegetables and medicinal herbs that they harvest from the forests in which they have relied on for many generations.

The highlight of every edition of the Whitefield Art Collective is the Kala Car, an exhibit that showcases the creative and artistic prowess of art students. Over the years, this clever play on words has titled vehicles that have either been rescued from the scrap yard or sponsored or auctioned or all of the above.
