Legal Disclaimer:
All items are hand made by village craftsmen (SHG Group) using Bhimal Fiber. Village craftsmen make their own handicraft product, so don’t compare handmade stuff with machine or other source.

The organization has provided trainings to the women beneficiaries in making handicraft products with the local raw material available in the villages. The local raw material includes bheemal and nettle fiber. These fibers are available abundantly in the forests and in the vicinity of the villages. The women have been taught to make slippers, curtains, footmats, tablemats etc out of these local and natural fibers.

The organization is also associated with National Jute Board, Kolkata. The NJB had provided jute based trainings to the women beneficiaries which include jute bags, shopping bags, file folders and other utility products.
