Exploring Bengal
About the project
Parijayi is an initiative to support the community-led performing arts and crafts from the soils of Bengal. Parijayi is working to make an impact to the rural artisans’ communities’ lives and provide them an exposure to the larger world. Parijayi is a bridge between the artisan’s communities and the urban market. This collective development initiative also fosters the Bengal’s rich traditional cultures. Not only the promotion of traditional arts and crafts, we are helping the hasty, fast and concrete-walled urban lives to breath some fresh air, walk on the greens and alleviate the tensions by chirping of birds.
How We Work
Research Work
Our research team is doing an extensive survey based on different cultural hubs in West Bengal and shortlisted a few locations for sustainable cultural tourism.
Cluster
We developed multiple tradition based clusters, all over the West Bengal and after a basic capacity building we provide all technical support to develop infrastructure.
Promotion
After creating the infrastructure we promote the places as tourist spots. We promote direct market linkage for the beneficiaries. It will help to create community led cultural tourism
