Kutch Mahila Vikas Sangathan (KMVS) was founded in 1989 to foster the empowerment of rural women of Kutch area in Gujarat. In 1993, KMVS organized women from different villages of Kutch to enhance their literacy level. Soorvani is an informal organization of 500 musicians representing 40 different musical forms. The goal of Soorvani is to improve the status and standard of Kutchi folk musicians. Its objectives are to preserve, sustain, revive, energize, and promote Kutch’s folk music traditions. Priti Soni, the contact person for Soorvani, wonderfully described the mission “Sachavu, Jharavu, Beg Vantu Karu” which means “preserve, protect, and promote”. |
