Empowering Backward Classes: We prioritize the empowerment of backward classes in villages, including Scheduled Castes (S.C.) and Scheduled Tribes (S.T.), by providing them with access to training and employment opportunities in Sikki art. By actively engaging these communities, we strive to bridge socio-economic gaps and promote social inclusion.
