Key Projects

Bamboo Craft Cluster, Chhindwara

The Bamboo Craft Cluster was established in Chhindwara under the SFURTI scheme of the Ministry of MSME, Government of India.
This cluster was developed to meet the needs of bamboo artisans by providing modern and traditional tools, machines,
and raw materials worth INR 45,00,000. A total of 891 artisan families have found sustainable livelihoods through this initiative.
In the year 2022–2023, we observed that artisans’ income doubled, highlighting the success of the program.
The cluster has also helped 369 women artisans to become self-reliant.

The cluster serves as a vibrant hub for local artisans, supporting their skills and promoting sustainable economic development.
We have helped artisans move beyond their local communities, giving them platforms to display their work in major cities
and international markets. This global exposure has broadened their perspectives and improved their quality of life.
