Sthree Shakthi groups have been becoming strong in rural areas. The district has over thousand Sthree Shakthi Sanghas and have achieved success. The role of women and child welfare department in the success of Sthree Shakthi Sangha is highly commendable. The exhibition of products produced by the Sthree Shakthi Sangha were restricted to urban areas so far. However, an exhbition was organised at Chettalli, which received overwhelming response. The department is planning to organise such melas in seven villages by September end.
The exhibition was held under the aegis of Abhyathmangala Jyothi Sthree Shakthi Valaya Okkuta and Suntikoppa Mother Teresa Sthree Shakthi Valaya Okkuta at Chettalli.

There is good demand for the products produced by Sthree Shakthi Sangha. The Sthree Shakthi Sangha should maintain quality of the products. Women and child welfare department has been organising training programme in marketing for Sthree Shakthi Sangha.
