About Us
Empowering Women, Enriching Livelihoods
Kartavya Karma is a mission-driven initiative fostering women empowerment, sustainable livelihoods, and rural entrepreneurship in Uttarakhand. We uplift women artisans and farmers by providing skill development, fair trade opportunities, and eco-friendly production to create self-sustaining communities.
​
What We Do​
-
Skill Development & Craftsmanship: We train women in handicrafts, handloom weaving, hand-knitting, Aipan art, and organic farming, enabling financial independence.
-
Sustainable Livelihoods: Our projects promote biodegradable products, ethical trade, and eco-conscious production for a greener future.
-
Market Access: We connect rural artisans to global marketplaces, ensuring fair wages and economic stability.
-
Community Building: We foster a network where women collaborate, innovate, and lead towards collective growth.
Our Impact
Through Project Udyogini, Pahari Haat, and skill-based programs, hundreds of women have transformed from homemakers to independent entrepreneurs, gaining confidence, social recognition, and financial security. Kartavya Karma is not just a business; it's a social movement restoring dignity and self-reliance to women artisans.

We believe every woman has the power to embrace her true self, shape her own future, and transform the world.
Our Mission
Kartavya Karma’s mission is to provide poor women’s knowledge and skills so that they excel as professionals and entrepreneurs, and earn a “livelihood with dignity” in jobs and markets that had traditionally been closed to them. We believe that when women are socially and economically empowered, they become catalysts of change – not just in their own lives, but also in their families and communities.
Our Vision
Our vision is to create a global community where women's skills are celebrated and their contributions to environmental sustainability are recognised. We envision a world where every artisan has the opportunity to grow, and where organic farming is the norm, and every product they create supports a healthier, more sustainable planet.
