Our Story
Weaving Livelihoods from Nature's Gift
Founded by Sunil & Nirupama Deshpande to transform lives through bamboo artistry
Re-establishing Respect & Honour for Artisans
Srushtibandh started in the mid-90s from the tribal village of Lawada in Maharashtra's Melghat Forest. What began as an initiative to solve malnutrition problems has grown into a movement that empowers SC/ST communities through sustainable bamboo-based employment.
Our vision extends beyond livelihoods – we aim to resurrect the artisan economy that once formed the base of India's sustainable decentralized industrial heritage.
