About the Project:

Workshop on Lac Bangle Making a Colourful Livelihood: Lac is considered to be the oldest source of
colour, and it has always been very popular. Lac bangles and jewellery are adorned and appreciated by
women since generations. The Adani Foundation, in collaboration with the SARDA Organisation,
conducted a ten-day workshop on lac bangle making for SHG women from the nearby villages of Adani
Power Maharashtra Limited. In this skill training programme, women participants acquired practical
knowledge on making attractive bangles and various jewellery items from lac. Apart from it, they also
learned skills of packaging and marketing of these bangles and other jewellery items which will enable
them to earn handsome income.
