The Ahimsa Charitable Trust has initiated a unique way to sell vegetables at lower prices and at your doorstep. Visually impaired or physically disabled people have been hired to go door to door to sell vegetables at reasonable prices. The vendors’ food and lodging is taken care of by the Trust. They are also paid a salary of Rs. 7500 per month.
‘Ginger is the costliest with one kg being sold at Rs.175-Rs.200. But, the group sells it for Rs.140-150. Brinjals that otherwise cost Rs.38 are sold for Rs.25 per kg. I save a minimum of Rs.20 when I buy from the group. The vegetables are also fresh and I save on travel time too’, says a resident of Anna Nagar.
