Conserve and commercialise the traditional art form of the rural community by helping tribal women learn the skill sets and make a living out of it.
The tribal art forms like handlooms and handicrafts are specialized skills which are passed on from generation to generation. These art forms used to be the only means of livelihood of the artisans. However, in the absence of any organized industry, the artisans do not get decently paid. This is making them take up alternate livelihood options, leaving the age-old art forms to die a slow death. To sustain these tribal art forms, we must understand their problems and help them with a proper platform to make a livelihood out of it once again. This will encourage them to retain their traditional art skills.
