Shrujan was among the first to recognize its potential as a practical means to enable craftswomen to earn a home-based, sustainable and dignified livelihood.
Craftswomen who form part of the Shrujan family belong to 12 different communities. Each community has its own traditional style of embroidery, and many communities practise more than one style.
