Encouraged by its initial success, the project gradually extended its socioeconomic and trade reform activities to the adjoining states of Uttar Pradesh, Haryana and Rajasthan in Northern India. At present TARA Projects employs more than 1000 artisan families directly and indirectly by providing sustainable income through handicraft production.
