The Noor Aari Producer Company, located in Noorbagh, Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir (J&K), is a jewel among our success stories. Noor means light, and the exquisitely named Noorbagh has come to be a garden of light, a place where women artisans are crafting their own futures.

Rangsutra began working in Noorbagh in 2018. We took up an assignment as the implementing agency in The Jhelum and Tawi Flood Recovery Project (JTFRP) — a World Bank-funded initiative launched in response to the debilitating floods that struck J&K in September 2014, devastating people’s homes and livelihoods.
