At our core, we believe in the power of collaboration. We don't operate in isolation – we partner with communities, becoming active listeners and observers. This close collaboration allows us to conduct research that's not just driven by results, but also deeply empathetic to existing traditions, practices, and the potential for positive development. This approach ensures that our research isn't imposed from the outside, but rather emerges from a genuine understanding of the community's unique needs and aspirations.

We put this philosophy into action through successful completion of the following collaborative research studies:

Policy:Tasar Cocoon Purchase Guidelines and Tasar cocoon Value Chain Analysis for JHARCRAFT.
