| Description |
The Kishkinda Trust (TKT) was established in 1997 with the belief that conservation and business incubation can help in socio-economic development of a community. The Kishkinda Trust is based in Anegundi village within Hampi, a World Heritage site, and involves creating a model village for cultural industries with a replicable plan across the country. The restoration and holistic development of its traditional homes and promotion of cultural industry incubators within these spaces will enable the local community to manage their art, craft, hospitality for heritage tourism and culinary enterprises. TKT focuses intensively on capacity building of local villagers across multidisciplinary fields of creative and cultural industries—architectural conservation, heritage restoration, crafts and design, management and hospitality, so that their lives are nurtured, enriched and empowered by their own culture and identities. This process reaffirms ties between tradition, everyday commerce and the quality of life. |
