RAO The National SARAS Mela-2026, being organised at Punnami Ghat in Vijayawada, reopened on Thursday after remaining closed on Wednesday owing to the rainfall alerts given for the city. NTR District Collector G. Lakshmisha said the mela, which began on October 15, will conclude on October 31 and urged people to make use of the remaining two days to visit the exhibition and support women entrepreneurs. Mr. Lakshmisha visited the exhibition and interacted with Lakhpati Didis from various States to enquire about sales and the response from visitors. He said the mela showcased a wide range of products made by women from self-help groups, including handicrafts, traditional artefacts, household items, textiles and region-specific products.

Published - October 30, 2026 12:17 am IST - CHENNAI Aavin will plough back 90% of the proceeds from the sale of sweets this festive season to invest in the welfare of dairy farmers, official sources said. “We have not increased milk prices, despite the procurement prices having gone up. We are balancing the welfare of the farmers’ cooperatives and our loyal consumers with quality goods at affordable prices,” a source said. People have been supporting Aavin for its quality. Many corporates have booked sweets and savouries in bulk for supply in the run up to Deepavali, the source added. All of Aavin’s major outlets in the city and elsewhere are already stocking 250 gram packets of ghee badhusha (₹205), nuts halwa (₹200), kaju pista roll (₹340) and kaju katli (₹280). The sweets come in assorted packets too – 250 grams and 500 grams priced at ₹240 and ₹475 each. They also have savouries – 200 gram packets of butter murukku priced at ₹95 each and similar sized packets of special mixture priced at ₹110 each. Like in the previous years, Aavin is producing sweets using its own ghee, butter, and khoa at its Ambattur dairy. “We are following FSSAI norms and are ensuring that sugar is added in the right proportions. Single use oil is used to fry the eatables. We do not use hydrogenated vegetable oil. Quality check is being done at all stages,” another source said.
