Our Approach, Principles and Values

Endeavoring to preserve and sustain the cottage industries

Approach

Through participatory and holistic approach, we are endeavoring to preserve and sustain the cottage industries, particularly those engaged in ‘Art & Craft’, in a manner without compromising its civilizational antiquity while functioning in the modern age. The cottage industries and artisans, which served as originators cradles, and guardians of the civilization and antiquity. Our approach is that this sector should not be an emblem of   poverty and marginalization. Rather, the traditional ‘Art & Craft’ should be a sustainable, profitable livelihood sector that can offer to the artisans due wages in decent working environment and better life for them as well as their families.
