Our purpose is to ensure regular work and sustainable livelihoods for rural artisan communities. To achieve this, we equip them with the necessary skills, equipment and technology required to run a 21st century enterprise — one which is committed to people and the planet, along with financial sustenance or profits. We are market oriented but not market driven. https://www.civilsocietyonline.com/20th-anniversary-issue/new-age-company-artisans-as-co-owners-directors/
rangSutra’s purpose is to ensure regular work and incomes for rural artisans…and we invited them to be co-owners. Without much ado, 1,000 artisans, 800 of them women, from western Rajasthan — all part of the Urmul Trust network — put in trust, talent and `1,000 each, to start rangSutra: a community-owned social enterprise.
