India is undoubtedly a nation with rich culture, heritage, and traditions. It owes this advantage to its vast spread in terms of area, multiple weather patterns and its diversified population. Due to this, there are plenty of skilled and semi-skilled tradesmen spread across its length and breadth, who excel in their own form of traditional art, craft, and manufacturing abilities. Ironically, such kind of rich expertise is lying underutilized in various unknown pockets of the hinterland. Therefore, a need was felt to harness this potential from various nook and corners of the country. These Artisans normally work under an informal and unorganised sector, therefore are struggling for their survival. The aim is to provide them a platform under ‘Vocal for local’ so that their skills can reach out to the entire country and subsequently to the world. This will enable them to excel in their own fields of expertise and encourage them to produce goods & articles by Guiding them through our organisation time to time , understand and resolve their issues, support & guide them for market their products etc .
Such a platform will enhance their earning potential by increasing their selling volumes and will provide them better returns on their products by eliminating middlemen. Kala Bharat Atmnirbhar Abhiyan initiative was conceived with this aim to recognise these downtrodden trades men and make them financially better and atmnirbhar, so that they can contribute their share to the larger aim of a self- reliant India under our Prime Ministers initiative. Subsequently, these multiple range of products will be exported all around the world under the ‘Make in India Initiative’.
At KalaBharat, we believe in nurturing talent and fostering economic independence. We assist artists in obtaining Mudra loans, providing them with the financial support needed to scale their businesses. Additionally, we offer a robust platform for artisans to showcase and sell their products through exhibitions and collaborations with Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs). This not only promotes their craft but also ensures a sustainable livelihood for them.
Our commitment extends to the empowerment of women entrepreneurs. We have registered 1.5 lakh women entrepreneurs on the Government e-Marketplace (GeM) portal, helping them gain visibility and access to broader markets. Our financial literacy workshops are designed to educate and empower women, enabling them to manage their finances effectively and grow their businesses.
