Women tailors attached to self-help groups (SHGs) in the State have been literally burning the midnight oil as they are busy stitching national flags as part of the Har Ghar Tiranga project.
Prema Duraipandi of Priyadarshini SHG in Kancheepuram, who got the orders to stitch 15,000 flags, has been distributing the work among nine other groups. “We have ensured that the material is cotton and pre-ordered the cloth from Erode. The women each get ₹1.50 to ₹2 per flag that they stitch. On Tuesday night, I distributed the material for 5,000 flags and by Wednesday morning many have returned the tailored pieces,” she said.
