From the past three years, Lokpanchayat has been organizing Honey Festival right in the beginning of Honey harvest season. This year, the Honey Festival took place in Akole block of Ahmednagar district in North Western Ghats with the Thakar community.
The focus was to have a festival but also at the same time an exchange of knowledge, a workshop on Honey Harvesting Protocol (NTFP Harvesting Protocol & NTFP Harvest Guideline by Keystone & RCDC) with the participation of local honey hunters and harvesters.
The highlight of the festival was the enthusiastic participation by the children and youth who helped in documenting the festival.
