We came into
existence in 2004 with a purpose to uplift the
underprivileged communities through sustainable
employment in carpet weaving. Registered under the
Public Trust Act 1959, Jaipur Rugs Foundation was
formerly known as the International Research and
Development Institute (IRDI). Being a welfare initiative
of
Jaipur Rugs Company, this foundation aims to develop
the rural artisans and weavers in a way that enhances
their capacity to grow and sustain a better standard of
living. At present, it operates in 10 states of
India touching more than 40000 lives and plans to expand
its spheres globally.
Our
objective is to generate and spread the art of carpet
weaving to underprivileged and deprived communities.
Mr. Nand
Kishore Chaudhary, Trustee of Jaipur Rugs Foundation,
believes in nurturing the rural weavers and artisans
such that they become self-employed and self-sufficient.
The core values of the foundation are: to impart
justice, equality, build trust in human capacities and
ensure a transparent system. |
