जननी जन्मभूमिश्च स्वर्गादपि गरीयसी

Asha the Hope celebrated Deepavali with the unseen and unsung heroes of our Nation.

I am talking about those who manufacture our National Flag. The only authorised unit in India to manufacture and supply national flags – the Karnataka Khadi and Gramodyoga Samyukta Sangh (Federation) (KKGSSF) – is located in Bengeri village in Dharwad district

There are women from various part of Hubli and Dharwad.They work on daily wages. They used to get 30 rupees per day and now they get 75 to 150 rupees.

No age bar. When you ask an old woman why is she still working...she said such beautiful words. These are her lines..." Not every body has oppurtunity to give back the Nation something before we leave. I can't  go to border and guard my country but I can be the nation's pride in their hands."

A pregnant lady is working with so much of respect to the nation to have her child support every single growth the nation aspires.

There are women and few men staff working as family.

There are nine different types of flags; they’re all manufactured in Karnataka.-The flags are made according to standards set by BIS. According to KKGSSF'  "Production of national flags as per strict guidelines of BIS is not an easy task, because, any defect in the flags such as colour, size, thread count, strength of yarn, fastness of the colours used for dyeing, etc. will be considered as a serious offence and is liable.

When you think beyond your horizon extends and Nation become your family.spending time was all they expected. They don't need fame and name , neither charity or recognition.  All they need is few minutes of your quality time and they illuminate such an encouraging environment . More than sky shots, sparkles or 1000wala...

This memory stays as an immortal imprint .

We are not promised tomorrow.  Let us give back universe something that is remembered cherished by few hearts atleast.

The best Deepavali of my life....
