Ekanbha has inaugurated a new outlet at the Meghalaya Age Pavilion, featuring a range of goods crafted by persons with disabilities.
Ekanbha, a social enterprise focused on inclusive employment, opened a dedicated outlet within the Meghalaya Age Pavilion on Tuesday. The store displays a curated selection of handicrafts, apparel, and accessories that are entirely produced by persons with disabilities, aiming to provide them with market access and sustainable livelihoods.
The launch ceremony was attended by local officials and representatives of disability advocacy groups, who praised the initiative for its potential to bridge economic gaps. Organisers highlighted that the outlet will operate on a revenue‑sharing model, ensuring that a significant portion of sales returns directly to the artisans.
Ekanbha’s leadership said the venture aligns with broader efforts to promote social entrepreneurship in the Northeast, and they plan to expand similar outlets in other states if the pilot proves successful.
The Meghalaya Age Pavilion, a venue that hosts cultural and social events, will now also serve as a commercial platform for inclusive products, offering visitors a chance to support the cause while purchasing unique items.
Stakeholders expect the outlet to generate both awareness and income for the disabled community, contributing to their economic empowerment and social integration.
