Celebrating women and fashion

Malyavi Karunodaya Society celebrates Women's Day and organises fashion show with a theme 'Revival"

A fifteen years old, Hyderabad based non-profit organization, Malyavi Karunodaya Society celebrates World Women's Day. Addressing the 300 plus gathering, Smt. K. Krishnamma, Founder and Chairman said 'Revival' is the theme of the Fashion Show. Revive old ties, values, friendship, connections, age-old living habits, lifestyles, environment, and water bodies, revive everything that was good, useful, she said.

The fashion show had three sequences of 15 minutes each. One of the sequences was totally dedicated to Kalamkari. That again goes in tune with the theme 'revival'. The Kalamkari art and fabric which is an ancient organic artwork is the face of India's heritage. It is a dying art. It has to be revived. The show was produced by Srikanth Gatla, a Fashion Choreographer from SG Fashion.

The 36-year-old social worker, Krishnamma, who has been working for the development of the people in the rural areas, gave a clarion call on this women's day to serve with a smile and said service to the humanity is the service to the god.Giving background of the Malyavi, Krishnamma said, "We all may not do everything. But we all can do something.

Not all of us can do great things, but we can do small things with great love and with this noble thought in mind, Malyavi Karunodaya Society was founded."Malyavi Karunodaya Society has been working with old aged, physically challenged, orphans and poor children. It provides free tailoring training for housewives and economically backward.

"We have trained a little over 5000 people. The training programs were organised through NSDC--National Skills Development Corporation, a Public Private Partnership Company set up to create and fund vocation training and skill development. We have recently embarked on an ambitious project "Malyavi Nilayalu", providing shelter to the homeless rural people," Krishnamma added.
