Along with the décor elements, the project Aahwan featured the artists and entrepreneurs from AWWA and had on display a wide variety of paintings, garments, and handicrafts. Mr. Abhishek Bansal, Executive Director, Pacific Group wishing the women said, “Our society and homes are very much dependent on women, and yet often we fail to acknowledge their efforts. With our décor we have tried appreciating their dedication and struggles in a unique and vibrant manner.”
