Minister requests retail space for SHG women's products at Bhogapuram airport

Andhra Pradesh's Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME) Minister Kondapalli Srinivas has asked for a dedicated retail outlet at the upcoming Bhogapuram airport for products sold under the SWAYAM brand. The SWAYAM brand features goods made by women from Self-Help Groups (SHGs). The minister made this request during a review meeting, highlighting the need to support women entrepreneurs and provide them with market access. The outlet would allow SHG women to sell their products directly to travelers, boosting their income and visibility. Bhogapuram airport, which is under construction near Visakhapatnam, is expected to become a major hub. Srinivas emphasized that such initiatives align with the state government's efforts to empower women and promote local products. The request is now under consideration by airport authorities. SWAYAM products include a range of items such as handicrafts, textiles, and food items, all produced by SHG women. The minister believes that having a presence at the airport will significantly enhance the reach of these products. No timeline has been announced for the decision.
