राजस्थान की रजत बूंदे

During the pandemic, most of our discussions centered around Desert Culture, Art, Handicrafts, Literature, Tourism, and Music, among other topics. We soon realized that our home district of Barmer had not yet reached its full potential regarding artisan-based handicraft industries. Our Folk musical communities remain unrecognized and disconnected from mainstream society, while our regional author's books and written material are not readily accessible. Thus, we decided to utilize our leisure time to create something meaningful - a platform where people can read books by Barmer authors, participate in dialogue for Barmer's development, buy and sell Barmer's artisan handmade products, and purchase handpicked organic dry vegetables that are not easily available in the market at a fair price. It will be like a one-stop center to showcase the different colors of Barmer and its Desert Culture.

      The platform is expected to bring innovation in designing and skill promotion among artisans and aims to establish the much-needed connectivity among the artisans, exporters, manufacturers, and buyers for better trade linkages, enhanced capacity, improved incomes, and inclusive development of the district. The team of NAVODAYA Alumni is jointly nurturing the Barmer Bazaar.

                                           Jai Hind and Jai Navodaya!
