Govt. will provide financial aid for the ailing sector
A high-level meeting attended by Finance Minister K.N. Balagopal and Industries Minister P. Rajeev has decided to formulate a master plan for the modernisation and diversification of cashew industry.
Based on the plan, the government will offer required financial support to strengthen the ailing sector. The decision was taken at a meeting of trade unions and processors convened to discuss the problems and possibilities in the cashew sector. A review meeting to assess the performance of the Kerala State Cashew Development Corporation’s (KSCDC) and Kerala State Cashew Workers Apex Industrial Cooperative Society (Capex) was also held.

The design team at The Indian Twist works on the spontaneous artworks by children and young adults from A Brush With Art (@abwa_chennai) and CanBridge Academy (thecanbridgeacademy), “kneading” them into its products, thereby transforming these artworks into a state of saleability. CanBridge Academy provides life skill training to young adults with autism. And ABWA promotes “expression of natural art in children with special needs”.
