Its been 12 years now since I became associated with Novica. It is because of Novica that I could establish myself and achieve my dreams, despite my illness. I have been suffering from osteoporosis and bone TB for the last 10 years. When I started designing jewelry, my jewelry designs were crafted by other artisans. Now I have my own workshop where I have a team of 25 people working with me on a full-time basis. Around 10 artisans work part-time for me, especially women from the rural areas of Rajasthan. They work from their own houses on their own schedules. This gives them confidence and brings smiles to their faces, with an opportunity to earn money as well. I have also dedicated some of my time to an NGO in Rajasthan that works with school children and provides medical facilities to elderly people. I have received the prestigious Bhamashah Award, which is given to individuals/ NGOs for their contributions to society. I am thankful to Novica for the platform that it has given me....
