Under the new programme, it will incubate 50 women entrepreneurs across the State in five targeted sectors of manufacturing, textiles and handlooms, FMCG, food processing and handicrafts.

At present only devotional songs rendered by renowned singers such as K J Yesudas and Jayavijaya are played at Sabarimala, a Travancore Devaswom Board statement said.
