What the collective does
Six functions, run for the members
A producer company is only useful if it does the work an individual artisan cannot do alone. These are those six things.
Bulk raw material
Wool, backing cloth, frames and dyestuff bought at collective volume and issued to members at cost.
Cost-price issue · Seasonal stocking · Quality-checked lots
Skill and design training
Residential and village-level courses with master craftspersons, plus design inputs so old technique meets current demand.
Master-led batches · Design workshops · Tool upgrades
Registration and documents
Pehchan card enrolment, artisan ID, bank linkage and scheme paperwork handled at the office so members do not lose days to it.
Pehchan cards · Bank linkage · Scheme access
Grading and quality
Every lot graded against a written standard before it carries our name, with the grade and the maker printed on the label.
Written standards · Maker on label · Batch traceability
Market and exhibitions
Government expo slots, retail tie-ups and a direct online channel, so a Didihat weaver can reach a Delhi buyer without three intermediaries.
Expo participation · Retail tie-ups · Direct online sale
Payment and dividend
Payment into the member's own account within a fixed window, and an annual dividend declared at the general body meeting.
Fixed payment window · Direct to account · Annual dividend

There is room for you in this.
Whether you hold a shuttle, a hammer or a purchase order — the collective grows by one member, one buyer and one order at a time.
