Artisans can benefit from a wide range of state and national initiatives. Programs such as TRIFED, PMEGP, NHDP, Van Dhan Yojana, and the CM Tribal Mission provide financial support, training opportunities, and platforms to expand market access. Understanding which scheme fits best can make the difference between survival and sustainable growth.

Many products from Palghar — such as Warli art, jamun, and Wada Kolam rice — are now Geographical Indication (GI) registered. GI protection safeguards cultural heritage and ensures that communities, not outsiders, benefit from their traditions. Kala Vistaar advocates for expanding GI coverage and raising awareness among artisans.

To make these schemes accessible, Kala Vistaar provides illustrated, multilingual booklets in Marathi and English. These guides simplify complex procedures into step-by-step instructions, ensuring artisans can confidently apply and benefit from available support.

Strong networks amplify impact. Kala Vistaar works alongside organizations like the Raah Foundation, Aroehan, and Banglanatak dot com, who have extensive experience in community development, training, and craft-based livelihoods.
