KADAM is an organization for developing the rural communities. Our vision is to tackle the roots and not the symptoms of poverty in rural areas leading to unskilled youth migration to urban cities. We thus empower the village communities- by improving their skill level and thus self-employment/livelihood options mostly via handicrafts – the skill mostly all of them inherit.

Preparing raw material
Willow Wicker is a sustainable handicraft locally know as Veer Kani, profusely practiced in the cold lands of Kashmir. Veer Kani basketry is made from the stem of a plant called “Willow wicker� traditionally processed using zero chemicals and is 100% Eco-friendly. A deeply rooted local market has encouraged artisan to pass this art form from one generation to another contributing immensely in the Kashmir livelihood and handicraft sector.
“People of Kashmir are blessed with a deep sensibility of arts and crafts , A mesmerizing combination of Geo-climatic conditions and human creativity� - Mr.Adbul Ahad (Artisan)
