The Airport Authority of India (AAI) has launched an initiative “AVSAR” to encourage the talent of women, artisans and craftsmen and provide them with the right opportunities. AVSAR stands for ‘Airport as Venue for Skilled Artisans Of The Region’.
Under AVSAR initiative, AAI will allocate space to Self Help Groups (SHGs) at its airports for selling/showcasing the self-made products of their region. Under this scheme, an area of 100-200 square feet has been earmarked at each AAI operated airport. The space will be allotted to the self- help groups, turn on turn basis, for a duration of 15 days.
