Adarsh Hast Shilp Samiti

You can find us at D-669 in Tajpur Pahari, over in the Badarpur area. Adarsh Hast Shilp Samiti is more of a community-based group than a big business. We work out of this space in Tajpur Pahari, focusing on traditional crafts and handmade items. It’s a modest setup, mostly just a few rooms where people can sit and work together. The neighborhood is quite lively, and our workshop often has people coming in and out all day. We started this because we wanted to keep certain skills alive and give people in the area a place to create things. It’s not a polished retail store. You’ll see raw materials piled in corners and half-finished projects on the tables. We don’t have a corporate structure or fancy titles. Everyone just chips in where they can. Sometimes we take our goods to local markets, but mostly we just work from here. It’s a bit of a climb to get to us, and the streets can be narrow, but it’s home to us. We don't use big words to describe what we do. We just make things by hand and hope people find them useful or beautiful. It’s a simple goal, and it keeps us busy. We aren't looking to grow into a giant company, we just like the work we do here in Badarpur. It’s about the people and the craft, and we just take it one day at a time.
