Idukki: Kudumbashree has opened a premium café-restaurant at Petta Junction in Vagamon to serve quality food to visitors to the hill station. Minister VN Vasavan inaugurated the eatery on Friday.

The unit is operated by Kripa Prakash, a Kudumbashree member from Ayyappankovil. Around 20 Kudumbashree members will gain employment through the venture, working in two shifts. The women entrepreneurs have taken over a building owned by the District Tourism Promotion Council (DTPC) and arranged the required facilities on their own.

Café Kudumbashree and Premium Café Centres are among Kudumbashree’s notable interventions in the micro-enterprise sector.
