About us
Saptasajya Foundation is a not-for-profit organization focused on reviving and enhancing livelihood skills in rural India.
The organization’s current projects are in the Indian state of Odisha and focus on digital literacy and design interventions for rural folk craftspeople.
Odisha has a rich folk culture. Some of the oldest folk arts in Odisha date back to 300 BC. Home to mixed ethic groups, the state has lively music, dance and visual art forms. Odisha is home to many folk art and crafts. These art forms are handed down from generation to generation, in most cases without any written record of techniques used or designs followed.
We aim to bring together a community of like-minded people and organizations to revive and contemporize these rural folk arts and crafts.
Founded in 2014 by professionals with the objective of working with rural youth and artists, the Foundation works with individuals and organizations to strengthen art- and craft-based livelihood opportunities.
