Smt. Bharati Gaind
First it was her husband Shri Bharat Bhutan who used to mould beautiful statues and decorative articles from Plaster of Paris (PoP) at his residence on a small scale. As his professional skills didn't bring in enough, his wife Bharati joined him in the entrepreneurship. Her aptitude for some creative activity seemed to be the only input in the beginning.

When Shri H.P. Joshi, Supervisor, KVIC, Ambala on a fine morning happened to see those statues lined up for drying outside their house, he asked the couple to submit a suitable project for sanction under REGP.

Overwhelmed by the never expected motivation, that too from someone quite stranger to the couple, Smt. Bharati arranged for a piece of land in the Village Jandli near Ambala. Punjab National Bank was a next step, which gladly considered the project and sanctioned Rs.6.87 lakhs. Smt. Bharati arranged Rs.36,000/- from her own savings.

Bharti Arts and Crafts is a sign board now that makes the passers-by to peep into the shop and eye those nicely moulded and painted statues. Some even bow before them with great respect as if they are true Gods!

Smt. Bharati is quite proud of her success. She says “I hardly expected that our creativity so easily would be an economically viable activity and settle us with enough to feed the family; these dumb statues have brought smiles on the faces of the 11 others and their families. Our Bhakti to our creative work has paid us much more than we ever imagined”.

It's just the truth. The Bhakti Arts & Crafts supplies statues all over India. Its books show a record of demands for statues worth Rs. 8.00 lakhs accomplished and those at the receiving end are proud to own those beautiful Shilpas.

Those dumb statues have now a job to do. They are campaigning for the REGP programme under KVIC that taught them to speak!
Shri Shiv Khera says ‘Success comes not to those who do different things; but to those who do things differently'.

That's why Smt.Bharati Gaind speaks less and does more.
