The Agricultural Development Trust is a multifaceted organization that has been actively involved in agriculture, education, water conservation, training, women’s self-help groups, and women’s empowerment for the past five decades. One of its significant initiatives is the ‘Bhimthadi Jatra.’
The primary objective of Bhimthadi Jatra is to provide a rightful market platform for products crafted by women entrepreneurs and women’s self-help groups in rural areas. Pawar noted that this year marks the 17th edition of Bhimthadi Jatra and highlighted its inaugural presence.
The Bhimthadi fair has been instrumental in economically empowering thousands of women across the state, including Pune district. Pawar emphasized that the event has also contributed to boosting business confidence among women entrepreneurs.
The Bhimthadi Jatra will be organized under the auspices of the Agricultural Development Trust, Bhimthadi Foundation, and Mahatma Phule Krishi Vidyapeeth Rahuri. The event will take place at Agriculture College ground in Shivajinagar (Sinchannagar) Pune from December 21st to December 24th, 2023.

Notably, new women’s self-help groups will receive preferential admission this year.
