This is a good idea if it can be worked out. I will NEVER favour sale of Poultry at such premises for obvious reasons. That will be a very retrograde step. However Vegetables will be the' Go'. MM

Jolly good idea!! Let all unemployed women start a grocery store. At least the family will always have food security even if Covid 21 attacks. Funding? Ask the state Banks!!

Mr Rajapakasa If you are serious about promoting women entrepreneurship thru the expansion of the retail sector , bring in controls to stop big supermarkets chains opening up all over the country ... they are killing the small man and woman in business... Second bring in controls on micro finance lenders who are driving people to suicide because they can't repay those exorbitant interest rates and 3rd enforce the state banks to develop loan schemes for rural entrepreneurs using International Financial institutes concessional loans eg ADB ,IFC and make it work without political interference . If these can be done you will be a star otherwise another average politician , making little or no impact despite wielding huge power

It is an idea good in theory. But when ever village already have one or two Kade, this would not work. Instead Cottage industry my have a better outcome.
