Meetings at the Block Development Office, a visit to an Aipan art centre run by local women and to the HILANS processing plant to map enterprise opportunities.
The visit had three parts:
- Block Development Office — discussion with block officials on the project, local programmes and selection of beneficiaries.
- Aipan art centre — interaction with women artisans producing Aipan plates, frames and décor; this visit led to the five-day Aipan art workshop in March 2026.
- HILANS plant — study of a local food-processing unit, its products and supply chain.
