OBJECTIVES
According to many these days, a pile of garbage is equivalent to a dustbin. Seeing the overflowing dustbins and the lack of plastic alternatives, Enactus KMC saw the opportunity to introduce to the world - Project Patradya.
Our product, edible cutlery, is produced by a community of Afghan refugees, residing in Bhogal District, New Delhi. Through Patradya, we aim to provide to them, a source of livelihood in an alien nation.
business Model
The edible cutlery is both tasty and healthy, as the recipe includes a combination of ingredients like maida, rice flour, and whey protein. The recipe has been finalised after consulting chefs. Project Patradya has been certified by a NABL accredited lab, and by FSSAI. After the development of the recipe, we started to teach our community members the technique of making edible cutlery.
We constantly work to make our products more and more diverse, by incorporating more flavours and increasing the nutritive value. We have increased our product range to include multiple flavours in the form of bowls, spoons and plates.
