The Tangible Reality of his Brain Child, Jaipur Rugs Foundation

In year 2004, he established the J.R.F. (Jaipur Rugs Foundation) for Research & Development of the carpet industry (the design, color, texture, weaver’s training and skill up gradation) and to make it compatible with the International Market. Jaipur rugs Foundation is an initiative of Jaipur Rugs Company Pvt. Ltd. with the following aims in mind:-

1) Directing the flow of benefits towards the artisans behind the story. This aimed at a socio-economic relation that tosses out the Middlemen and makes the artisans free from exploitation and under payment.

2) Promotion of new designs as per the International demand so as to bring more work to the artisans which in turns brings more income and prosperity.

3) Uplift the social status of the artisans by aiding them raising their standard of living through carpet weaving which in turn causes the economic growth of the industry.

4) Promotion of research for new technology to bring it closer to international market due to its high demanding nature.

5) Welfare Schemes through Microfinance which help the artisans get motivated for becoming economically sound and able to hold assets like their own looms.

6) Spreading and nurturing the art of carpet weaving for those who are too poor to hold any agricultural holding but can do work for living. These people will find their living through carpet weaving, a job with satisfaction.

7) Refining and updating the skills of the artisans enabling them to get more income regarding the improved quality of their work

The Difference Almost all NGO do little or more the same but his mindset was clearly different, He promoted the “Extended Family Concept” in which the artisans as not looked upon as mere laborers; rather as family members. Each and every artisan who is associated with him is considered a family member and hence given equal importance like any other member of family. This strengthens the bond between his thought and the reality enabling him to have a closer and more deliberate relation. This also provides the sense of dignity to the artisans who increase their moral and therefore their productivity which in turns brings prosperity to their homes and of course in our Family.
