We heard about your Community Development Programme, can you explain?

In 1998, me along with my Father In Law Seth Lalit Kumar Boochra jointly started a programme known as a Community development Programme under which:

1. Unskilled Rural Poor are made jewellery artisans through community mobilization and skill training.
2. Training and livelihood at their doorstep, fair wages, no exploitation, no child labour, no pollution and no harm to the society.
3. Social Development Support: Artisans and their communities are facilitated for better health, life skill education, sanitation and other social imperatives. Financing for 1 daughters marriage of an Artisan.
4. Connecting artisans to the world markets, by taking them to all shows and exporting their products to different countries of the world.
5. We partner with Government, Civil Societies, NGO’s etc.
6. Employing Artisans who live in the most remote parts of India with little to no access to transport. The greatest challenge in their lives is commuting to work and back, often resulting in families that live far apart. One of the key differentiators of our model is an artisan’s ability to not only work from home but have business travel to them.
7. Through a grassroots network that requires specialized logistical support, raw material is dropped off at an artisan’s home where they work on the product. To ensure customers receive high-quality products, quality supervisors inspect the production to help ensure a consistent output while tracking progress. These supervisors also ensure artisan service to ensure they are not interrupted by the shortage of raw bullion. When completed, the product is picked up at the Artisans doorstep and sent on to the next stage of jewellery making progress.
8. These networks stretch across 400 villages in India through an intense grassroots network to connect 25,000 artisans.
9. Sangeeta Boochra / Silver Centrre’s artisans thus have the ability to work from home.
10. More women can work towards financial independence, as they don’t have to navigate commute, especially in remote villages.
11. Artisans decide their own work hours – being able to work around their family’s schedules.
12. Artisans will lose no workdays in receiving and transporting material.
13. Traditional Indian communities do not give women the opportunity to work outside the home –

Sangeeta Boochra / Silver Centrre’s model provides an easy solution to this.
