Purpose: Training, Women's issues
Aim/Objective/Mission: Kolkata, 1961- the suburbs, slums and pavements were crowded with bodies. People raising families and trying to build a life between a drain and a sewer. And these were not Kolkata’s ordinary poor, they were the results of two waves of refugee migration from Bangladesh. Rootless and unwanted they had nowhere else to go. If the men suffered, the women and children suffered more. Eminent social workers of the city came together to find a solution to this problem. Karma Kutir was the result. Karma Kutir chose to encourage women to revive traditional art and earn themselves a living and supplement their family income.
