     Achievements

JRF’s model has been appreciated at various levels. The Ministry of Panchayati Raj & Confederation of Indian Industries (CII) has extended its hearty support for the cause. There has been an overwhelming support from State and central government like Department of Industries (Government of Rajasthan), District Poverty Initiative Project (Government of Rajasthan), Rajasthan Mission on Livelihoods (Government of Rajasthan) and Rajasthan Backward Classes Finance & Development Corporation and corporations like National Research Development Corporation, Small Industries Development Bank of India etc.

 

The achievements by far have been astonishing. To name a few these are:

 

More then 32000 artisans earning more then 70 Rs per day.

Economic upliftment of at least 2200 families belonging to below poverty level, schedule caste, schedule tribe and OBC  

5000 weavers supported through linkages and capacity building

More than 70 Women Self Help Groups formed

Difficult regions tapped:

     Dharmpur Tribal belt in Gujarat.

     Naxalite infested regions of Jharkand.

     Desert districts of Rajasthan.

Linkages of artisans for insurance, health, banking through ICICI Lombard, artisan health cards, and access to banks has enabled us to mitigate risks of artisans
