Prayagraj, Jan 31: When purpose breathes life into art, it transforms from mere expression into a force of change. In the quiet lanes of rural India, where dreams often remain unheard, a remarkable initiative by Saheli Sangam Samiti has woven a new tapestry of hope and self-reliance. It is more than just an effort—it is a movement, a story of resilience and empowerment, made possible by JK Tyre’s visionary commitment to uplifting women. Here, creativity does not just flourish; it fuels transformation, lighting the path toward a brighter, more inclusive future.

Empowering Rural Women: The Journey of Self-Reliance

With the support of Manjari Foundation, a transformative journey began in the rural landscapes of Noorabad and Morena, where opportunities for women to generate sustainable livelihoods were nurtured. This vision took shape through the formation of the Saheli Sangam Samiti, a collective that became a guiding force for women striving for self-reliance. As they embarked on this path of empowerment, they not only discovered their own strength but also gave their dreams a name—‘JhulkI’—a symbol of their unwavering determination and newfound independence.

Jhulki: Crafting Identity, Handcrafted Excellence

Through this brand, these women are bringing their handcrafted products to the market, carving out a new identity for themselves. Under ‘JhulkI,’ they are crafting men’s and women’s apparel, home textiles, and accessories—each piece carrying a unique touch of their skill and creativity.  

JhulkI’s Journey to the Mahakumbh, Celebrating Resilience and Tradition

Adding to their journey, with the support of the Uttar Pradesh government, Jhulki’s creations have found a prestigious platform at the grand Mahakumbh, where their work is receiving immense appreciation. The handcrafted products by these rural women are not just being admired but are also becoming a symbol of their resilience and craftsmanship, weaving tradition with empowerment.

This initiative has not only provided women with a sustainable source of income but has also instilled a newfound confidence in their skills and abilities. As they witness their handcrafted products finding a place in the market, it uplifts their self-esteem and fills them with a deep sense of pride and fulfillment. Each sale is more than just a transaction—it is a testament to their hard work, resilience, and the limitless potential they hold within.

Elevating Identity, and Shaping a Future of Dignity and Hope

The Jhulki brand has given rural women a new direction for their talent and a fresh start in their lives. This initiative has not only empowered them financially but has also elevated their identity and respect in society. The efforts of Saheli Sangam Samiti stand as a significant milestone in the journey of women’s empowerment, bringing meaningful and lasting change to their lives. With every stitch they weave and every product they create, these women are not just building a brand—they are shaping a future filled with dignity, independence, and hope.
