SAAJ SRINGAR

Working under Gandharv Kala Sangam - The Pulse of India

A unit to Promote Makeup Artists, Hair Dressers, Dressers & Manufacturers of Ayurvedic Beauty Products

Saaj Sringar, a collective of makeup artists, hairdressers, and dressers, has been working under Gandharv Kala Sangam for the past ten years with the mission of empowering women through skill development. The initiative began with seminars aimed at creating awareness among underprivileged women, encouraging them to become self-reliant and capable of earning their livelihood. Over time, it launched structured training programs in various beautician courses, enabling women to gain employable skills and establish themselves as both employed professionals and independent entrepreneurs. The program’s growing popularity and demand highlight its success in fostering sustainable livelihoods. Beyond training, Saaj Sringar has implemented support systems to ensure women can set up their own ventures and generate stable incomes, drawing appreciation from government and private institutions alike. Recognized widely for its impact, it has also partnered with organizations such as CRSGPP and NUJS to organize seminars and symposiums on traditional knowledge, customs, and culture, further inspiring women to participate in its initiatives.

 

Although temporarily paused due to COVID-19, the training program resumed with the launch of an Ayurvedic beauty parlour—likely the first of its kind in Eastern India—at the heritage town of Raniganj, later expanding across nearby districts. Inspired by Kerala Ayurveda, the initiative introduced specialized training in Ayurvedic beauty care and, with the support of Raghunathpur Thermal Power Station, successfully trained and empowered 20 women who are now employed or self-employed in beauty parlours. Going further, Saaj Sringar also provides training in the manufacturing of Ayurvedic beauty products, under the guidance of Ayurveda experts from Kerala. These products, now in high demand, have opened new avenues for financial independence among women, transforming Saaj Sringar into a true model of empowerment, combining tradition, innovation, and livelihood creation.
