Kancheepuram shop sells self-help group products

A new shop, Mathi Angadi, has opened near the Sri Varadharaja Perumal temple, providing a dedicated retail space for products made by local self-help groups (SHGs). The shop offers a variety of items, including Kancheepuram silk sarees, jewelry, jute and cotton bags, and clay dolls, all produced by SHG members. This provides a direct sales channel for the groups, like Sri Sai Ganapathy and Sri Ramajayam SHGs. The district administration supports SHG sales through exhibitions and by stocking products from various districts, with a focus on millet-based food items.
