As part of our Business Wellness Program, Kaarigar Clinic has launched Kaarigar Udhyam Yatra, an initiative designed to deeply connect with rural artisan communities, understand their challenges, and develop tailored solutions that drive real impact.
Through this yatra, we travel to artisan clusters, engaging directly with craftsmen and women to gain firsthand insights into their struggles, aspirations, and business needs. This initiative serves as a bridge between traditional artisans and modern entrepreneurial opportunities, ensuring that the support we provide is relevant, practical, and transformative.
Beyond just identifying challenges, Kaarigar Udyam Yatra helps artisans build confidence, resilience, and business acumen. By addressing their specific needs—whether it be market access, financial literacy, or skill enhancement—we empower them to strengthen their enterprises and sustain their craft in an ever-evolving marketplace.
