If I toil every day and night for a week, I make Rs 1,000: The agarbatti makers of Bengaluru
- 5 years ago
A box of 100 agarbattis in a regular provisions store costs Rs 65. So the market price of a 1,000 of these agarbattis is 650 rupees – that’s what we pay. However, the women who make them get just about 30 rupees for 1000 sticks.
