Dalit women have crafted a hit

with a little help from Aparna Krishnan from The Hindu http://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-national/paalaguttapalle-bags-a-future/article24243976.ece “It all began with a lucky conversation. Aparna Krishnan, a software engineer who moved to Paalaguttapalle to become an organic farmer, was asked by one of her dealers if someone could supply cotton bags to Hyderabad. Ms. Krishnan contacted N. Annapurna, who did tailoring jobs to support her family, and gave her Rs. 1,000 to buy cloth. Once the bags were done, she had them delivered to Hyderabad. Ms. Annapurna earned Rs. 1,000 for the order.”
