Stitches of love

Devotion is an apt name for a shop that sells products lovingly made by rural women in Haryana. You can buy sheets, towels, curtains and table linen for your home, beautifully hand embroidered and neatly stitched. For babies there are frocks, quilts, sweaters and more, all soft and cuddly. For women there are attractive kurtas, nightwear and saris with stylish embroidery and patterns.

Devotion is a unit of the Arpana Trust which works to improve health, education and the livelihood of marginalised people in Haryana, Himachal Pradesh and Delhi’s slums. Over 2,000 women have been organised into Self-Help Groups (SHG), trained and linked to banks. Arpana markets their products and Devotion provides a steady source of income to thousands of families.

Arpana runs a multispecialty hospital in Karnal. In Molarband slum of Delhi, a team of Delhi’s best doctors provides healthcare at its clinic. Arpana is committed to providing selfless service to all, as propagated by its founder and inspiration, Param Pujya Ma.
