Uthhan-Empowering Artisans and also which stands for uplifting the traditional and hereditary Handicrafts and artisans of the nation. I have met many poor handicrafts and artisans in the country. As my hometown is in Odisha, which is the cultural state of the country. I have seen many arts and crafts on the verge of extinction. Then I met Mr.Leemon Ravi the founder of this innovative social initiative. I understood the goals and vision of this initiative which I found very ethical, transparent, and very innovative to train, enroll, and support the artisans by giving them profits directly. I joined Uthhan, and became a part of this organization for Odisha. Now I am working very closely with all artisans, we understand their problems and meet their requirements along with selling their arts and crafts worldwide.
We at Uthhan, always stand for the rights of the Artisans and ensure the benefits reach the beneficiary rightly and completely. Meeting their requirements like education, healthcare, food, and giving them employment. Every week we come with a new campaign for their upliftment.
So being a part of UTHHAN, I am not only serving mankind or humanity but also adding internal happiness for self-motivation. In this process, we are also encouraging workability in arts and crafts and increasing employment opportunities.
