Supporting sustainable rural livelihood: reviving Udupi sarees

In a momentous collaboration between Udupi district’s cooperative societies and Padmashali Nekara Prathisthana, a significant development was taken towards the revitalization of Udupi Handloom sarees funded by NABARD and Robosoft Technologies (through CSR initiative). This demonstrates corporate responsibility and cultural preservation. Under the guidance of Ratnakar Indrali, president of Padmashali Nekara Prathisthana, the initiative aimed at meeting the rising demand for GI tagged Udupi sarees while empowering local women artisans.

The inauguration of this program was honored by Udupi MLA, Deputy Commissioner, zilla panchayat CEO and many other eminent personalities. Robosoft Technologies, in commitment towards doing social good, played a vital role by contributing to a CSR fund aimed at revitalizing Udupi sarees.

Through the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiative, we allocated substantial funds toward key aspects of the project. This included the restoration and enhancement of training facilities, acquisition of handlooms, and provision of training and stipends for women artisans undergoing skill development programs. The comprehensive allocation of resources amounted to Rs. 32.8 Lakhs, highlighting Robosoft’s commitment to community welfare and cultural heritage preservation.

The successful inauguration of the renovated training center, combined with the distribution of stipends to trainees, marked a significant milestone in Udupi’s cultural journey. Robosoft Technologies, represented by Mr. Sridharan, Mr. Nandakishore, and Ms. Laxmi Shetty, reaffirmed its dedication to social impact and cultural preservation through their active participation in the event.

This collaborative effort serves as a beacon of women empowerment, skill enrichment, and the safeguarding of traditional art forms. Our CSR initiative sets an example for businesses to contribute to the preservation of cultural heritage, thereby encouraging a cooperative relationship between commerce and tradition.
