Help 250 Folk Artists during COVID-19

People who visits Rajasthan do hear the Sarangi, Rawanhattha, Kamayacha, Morchang and Ektara or see the mesmerising dance of kalbeliya and become a fan of Rajasthani folk art. Today in this fight against covid-19, folk artists are facing a lot of trouble as their earning was on daily basis as they used to perform at weddings or on occasions/event for their daily livelihood and due to covid-19 pandemic they are unable to find employment for themselves. They are living in their huts as they didn't had any protective mateiral against corona virus and are facing many problems in which the biggest one is the financial problem as because of it they are unable to cook two time meals and get protection against Covid-19.

RSKS India marked their location and did a baseline survey over there in order to provide relief to these Rajasthani folk artists. 50 Rajasthani folk artists families were supported by RSKS India and ration FOOD kit were distributed them which contained around 20 kg dry ration (flour, pulses, oil, sugar, salt, spices etc) and along with this hygiene kit was also distributed to them which contained masks, sanitizers, handkerchiefs etc. Awareness program was also done with them in which social distancing, use of masks, importance of washing hands were the prime focus. They were also encouraged to find employment.

These Rajsthani traditional Folk Artists families can now easily cook two times meal for a month through the ration kit provided and also now they are able to protect themselves and their families from the Covid 19 pandemic by using the hygiene kit being provided by the RSKS India. These Rajasthani Folk Artists are able to find employment without having any tension of food. They are now able to overcome the destructive wave of obstacles caused due to coronavirus.
