Maghtha Weaving Cluster

We established Magtha Weaving Cluster Chhindwara – under the SFURTI scheme of the MSME Ministry, Government of India. This cluster has become the embodiment of hope and opportunity for hundreds of artisan families, fostering their skills, livelihoods, and economic well-being. With the provision of modern tools, machines, and critical raw materials, these clusters have empowered artisans to create, innovate, and elevate their standard of living.

This weaving and stitching cluster provided artisans with access to essential resources, enabling them to enhance their productivity and craft. The initiative contributed significantly to the betterment of 915 artisan families' lives. This cluster is very special for our organization because this is a women centric cluster. There are total 915 artisans are enrolled over here, in which the no of women artisans are 630. The ownership of this cluster is also with a committee of these women artisans. The cluster is equipped with modern and traditional tools, machines, and raw materials worth INR 45,00,000/-.
