Weaving & Card Unit |
The
'Khadi' unit on the Anjanisain campus makes a variety of different shawls,
blankets, scarves, as well as some clothing products like vests, kortas,
and hats. |

The
wool used in production is brought from Uttarkashi, an important wool-producing
centre of Uttaranchal. A traditional Indian method of weaving, 'Hath-Karga',
is adopted for making the textiles. Natural dye is used for giving the
shawls different colorful shades.The SBMA woollen products are in popular
demand in Garhwal because of their excellent quality and attractive designs.
To improve the market potential of SBMA products the organisation participates
in a large number of village Haats and fairs. |

SBMA also has a small greeting cards unit at its headquarters in Anjanisain. Hand made recycled paper and dried flowers / leafs are used in the production of greeting cards. Besides offering a wide range of attractive greeting cards, this same unit also makes paper bags, file folders, and envelopes from hand made papers. These programs
were developed to promote cottage industries in Uttaranchal and show
the economic potential of such endeavors, as well as to actually create
jobs in the Anjanisain area. Weaving, textile-making, sewing, doll-making,
card-making, and other such trainings have been used over the years
in various women's development projects, economic stimulus schemes,
and livelihood programs. |
