Sunder Rang

Sunder Rang’s partnership with Planeterra has significantly enhanced its capacity and market connectivity. Planeterra has organized workshops at the Sunder Rang center to improve communication skills, storytelling, and tourism experience development. Additionally, Planeterra provides online mentorship and access to learning resources.

The training program has helped participants better understand their roles in delivering visitor experiences and expanded Sunder Rang’s outreach to a larger network.

Travellers visiting Sunder Rang can learn about the center’s journey, participate in a bracelet-making demonstration, and enjoy a hands-on handicraft experience.

This program aims to scale up Sunder Rang’s production and involve more community members, providing them with technical skills and supplemental income. The initiative also seeks to broaden its market reach through various platforms and networks.

Planeterra supported Anoothi with a grant to address their immediate needs and enhance the experience for both hosts and travellers. These funds will be used to improve the space, creating a comfortable environment under a beautifully designed shed. With an upgraded walking path, toilets, and benches, travellers will undoubtedly enjoy their time at Anoothi.

The grant will also help Anoothi India upgrade its screen printing unit and equipment, gradually incorporating this activity into the tourism experience. Due to a lack of infrastructure, they have not been able to expand this activity on a large scale.

Travellers visiting Anoothi can participate in a hands-on block printing experience, offering a deep dive into the local culture through a textile workshop led by women from marginalized communities. Not only do travellers get to interact with these women and learn about their experiences, but they also gain insight into this fine craft. They can observe the intricate techniques and browse through some of the products created.
