The cotton used for the production of these sarees is being cultivated without using fertilizers/pesticides for a minimum period of three years. The cotton when dyed with chemical free natural/vegetable colours, gives a product that would be virtually non-toxic, non-allergic, and environment friendly.

Under the Bangarada Male scheme, customers who purchase cloth by paying cash will be issued a prize coupon for every Rs 2000. The customer has to tick the correct answer in the coupon and then they have to write a slogan. The best slogan will be selected by a panel of judges. Gold coins will be awarded to 40 customers winning the contest. The scheme is valid till January 1, 2016.
