- About Me:
- I am the co-founder of a social venture by the name of True India. One of the initiatives that we are currently into (in the last 6 months) is to provide cluster development support in terms of forward and backward linkages to the under privileged women in the hand embroidery sector. As you are well aware of, Hand Embroidery is a traditional craft amongst village populations in some pockets of India. For years, the craft has been carried from generation to generation. The contractors exploit the women and although there is a huge demand for hand embroidery, the women seldom get their fair share. Also this sector has not been able to realize its full potential due to various constraints.
Coats India, the Indian arm of the global leader in sewing thread and needle craft products. Coats Plc has partnered with us for this initiative to help these women. We are currently focusing our activities in the Chunguvarchatram Block which is a few kms from Sriperumbuthur (50 kms from Chennai) wherein we are currently reaching out to more than 100 women. Our plan is to form similar clusters ( around 25) across the length and breadth of the country and help at least 1000 women (total of 25,000 women) in each of these clusters to double their wages in the coming years and thereby create a brand in which they also could be stakeholders.
