Banascraft Dwcra Mahila Sewa Association

Our association is based at 8, Chandan Complex, which is near the Mirch Masala Restaurant at Swastik Char Rasta on C.G. Road in Navrangpura. This is a very lively part of Ahmedabad. Being in the Chandan Complex means we are surrounded by lots of other small businesses. Our space is often filled with various handmade items and materials. It can get a bit disorganized because there are always a lot of people coming in and out, mostly women from the different groups we work with. We have some simple wooden tables and chairs where we sit to discuss the work. The smell of food from the nearby restaurant often drifts in during the lunch hour. C.G. Road is always busy with shoppers and traffic, so there is never a dull moment. We don't have a fancy showroom; it’s more of a functional hub where the real work happens. Sometimes the pile of inventory gets so high we can barely see across the room. We aren't professionals in the corporate sense; we are just people working together to make things happen. We’ve been in Navrangpura for a long time and the neighborhood feels like home to us. It’s a lot of manual work and coordination, but we just take it one day at a time and try to keep everything moving forward. It’s a busy, noisy, and productive place to spend the day.
