(3/3) For the past five years, we have dedicated ourselves to working closely with artisan communities—visiting their homes, encouraging them to join, and helping them find time for weaving, spinning, and learning. This has never been a one-time effort; it has been a daily commitment.

Every day, we listened to their challenges- be it illness, family pressures, or personal struggles. We stood by them, offered support, found solutions, and continuously motivated them to stay engaged and grow with us.

This journey would not have been possible without the unwavering support of Titan CSR. Their consistent backing has helped us go beyond working with existing artisans to nurturing a new generation of weavers—individuals from communities where such skills were once absent.

It was a challenge we chose to embrace, driven by the belief that dedication can create meaningful change. And today, we see how persistent effort can transform lives, even in the smallest of places. 🤍🙏🏻

(2/3) True change has required us to go beyond that—to dedicate ourselves completely. For the past five years, we have given our time, energy, and full attention every single day. We have stood beside the artisans—training them, learning with them, growing together, and most importantly, building trust. We have made them believe that we stand with them, no matter the circumstances.
Even if a project does not succeed, our commitment does not fade. Because this is what truly sustains a craft - continuous presence, unwavering support, and a shared belief. This is how craft development, and ultimately craft traditions, survive and evolve. Constant motivation and monitoring is very important for the people who are first generation artisans and particularly most of them are working women as a farmers.
Initially the people of Tukya village were not willing to learn about sustainable textile, natural dyeing system and indigo growing. They were very much reluctant and were skeptical. The risk and uncertainty was high but we have somehow did it.
The best thing we have understood is to get curate a development it is more important to understand the people with whom we expect the development and to indulge ourselves and dive deeper into their way of living and culture. If we respect them, automatically things change. 🤍

(1/3) What do we truly mean when we speak of development or skill development? Is it simply about refining a craft that has been practiced for generations, or is it about something deeper—constant support, continuous learning, and growing together with the artisans?

Skill development is not a one-time effort. It is a sustained journey of standing beside craft communities, helping them evolve, and encouraging them to explore new possibilities. It means enabling artisans to strengthen their existing skills while also introducing new techniques, diversifying their work, and creating innovative product lines.
At MG Gramodyog Sewa Sansthan Foundation, we have been working consistently for the past five years with the First generation artisans on hand spinning and natural dyeing, with a long-term vision for growth. One of our aspirations was to work with indigo dye. When we first planted indigo in 2023, the journey was uncertain. There were many challenges—from acquiring farmland and gaining the trust of farmers to navigating local authorities.
Despite these obstacles, we remained committed. Over time, we succeeded in cultivating indigo, extracting it, processing it, and finally applying it to textiles produced by Adivasi artisans from Tukya village in Purulia.
The initial attempts were not easy. Many of the first indigo plants were lost due to lack of experience. But through persistence and continuous practice, we improved. This is what development truly means—not instant success, but resilience, learning, and growth over time.
Our work does not stop at producing cloth. We focus on adding value by introducing advanced techniques such as Jamdani, indigo dyeing, and experimenting with other natural dyes.
Development, therefore, is not a destination. It is a continuous presence - a commitment to stand by the artisans, support their craft, and ensure that even if the craft struggles, the people behind it do not.
We would like to conclude by acknowledging the support we have received from various organisations and individuals. Their contributions have been invaluable. However, there are moments when external support alone is not enough.
