REGENERATIVE TEXTILES PRIVATE LIMITED

In their own words

We work with women artisans and pastoral communities in the buffer zones of the Sahyadri Tiger Reserve — families in the middle of a live land conflict. The forest department is relocating households. Those who remain face a structural trap: 3-month agricultural windows on fragmented landholdings under one acre, no formal market access for their traditional skills, no banking infrastructure, and high male out-migration that leaves women as de facto household heads without income for 9 months of the year. The Dhangar pastoral community within this geography faces additional historical exclusion — a nomadic people whose primary livelihood, native wool production, was economically destroyed by synthetic fibre displacement over two decades. RTPL works inside this intersection of ecological conflict, economic exclusion, and cultural erosion. Unlike geography-anchored programmes, our model is built to survive displacement: a woman's skill, her supply chain connection, and her income travel with her wherever state or market forces move her. Our three initiatives — MotherQuilts, Ghongadi Initiative, and The Eastern Earth — form the infrastructure of this portable livelihood system.
