Vishwabharati was founded by Smt. Sharada B. Yakapur with an aim to organize and uplift the women and children of socially weaker sections of the society. We decided to organize design and product development workshops to create a range of soft furnishings based on the women’s own traditional embroidery and mirror work. Since Vishwabharati is always in favor of using indigenous raw materials easily available locally, the Lambanis were encouraged to use local fabrics.
