made by marginalised rural housewives. The project includes
research on the inception of traditional hand fans,
documentation, creating new designs of hand fans by
collecting those from different parts of the country,
creating competitive marketing opportunities at home
and abroad, upgrading this fine art through workshops,
creating opportunities for income generation activities

groups.
