They receive training in various crafts of their choice. There are arrangements in place to provide free education to artisan children within the artisan community. Apart from this, children go to regular schools and colleges to receive higher education along with main stream children, helping their integration into main stream society. The poorest women receive vocational training and are free to start their own businesses from home.
- This artisan group is part of a charitable, non-profit organization, working as a center for the rehabilitation of handicapped individuals, who face extreme discrimination. The aim of the organization is to support the integration of handicapped individuals into mainstream society by being advocates of literacy and eradicating poverty amongst the affected individuals.
