Women empowerment is a significant focus today, and one highly skilled staff member, passionate about fashion design, set out to inspire female students to become entrepreneurs. The students, primarily from junior colleges and degree courses in Fashion design, participated in various exhibitions, honing skills like fabric painting, hand embroidery, and crafting designer accessories. Initially a non-profit venture, the project blossomed into a recognized brand, Bali-Butta, under the guidance of Prof. Anjali Hadkar. Their success led them to formalize the brand by registering it and seeking government subsidies.
