Pushpanjali was founded in 1982 by S.C. Mittal. It then started with 5 producers. Rapidly Mr. Mittal got to meet Oxfam organization, with whom Pushpanjali started to discuss and exchange on the concept of Fair Trade. Fair trade provides more than an income to local producers. It is a sustainable way for disadvantaged people, men and women, to raise their family in decent living conditions, be recognized for their specific craft mastery, and be in a position to build future perspectives altogether it is a path towards empowerment. 1.
