Kala Raksha means the preservation of the art form.

The organization was founded by Prakash Bhanani in 1993 in Kutch. The organization consists of the artisans, community members, and experts in the fields of art, design, rural management and museum. They had started with the group of artisans from Sumrasar Sheikh, a village 25 km away from Bhuj. Now becoming a group of more than 1000 women artisans from seven ethnic communities practicing the traditional embroideries. They have also established a local school for designing in 2005 for developing their knowledge towards the latest designs and the changing fashion trends in the market.
In 1993 KALA RAKSHA was established as a registered society and trust. Comprised of artisans, community members, and experts in the fields of art, design, agriculture, and museums, KALA RAKSHA today collaborates with nearly 1,000 embroiders from 7 ethnic communities. KALA RAKSHA means "preservation of works of art". The foundation aims to preserve the local traditional arts and make them culturally and economically viable. Trust activities are carried out by artisans. Without craftsmen, there can be no traditional art. Wherever possible, positions ranging from office manager to coordinator and tailor are recruited from local residents. The Trust provides the training you need to make this possible. KALA RAKSHA encourages community members to work together towards the goal of self-sufficiency.
