AAO BUNE EK BEHTAR KAL
New Delhi : 08 Feb 2012
“Aao Bune Ek Behtar Kal” knitting contest was organised at Harbaksh Stadium Delhi Cantt on 08 Feb 2012 for the families of army personnel. This contest was a joint initiative of Army Wives Welfare Association (AWWA) and Vardhman Spinning and General Mills Limited, Ludhiana. More than 1000 ladies participated in the event.


Vardhman Spinning and General Mills Limited, Ludhiana has been sponsoring this joint venture along with AWWA to invigorate the traditional art of knitting. Since the soldiers wives have to stay mostly separated, it is imperative that they are self reliant and are able to manage their house hold chores independently. It is in this direction that AWWA is striving for their emancipation and empowerment.
The families participated with great enthusiasm and created some unique designs and styles of knitting, which were a blend of rich, vibrant & diverse culture of India. The winners of the Knitting Contest in different categories were felicitated by Mrs Veena Singh.
