Khamir works to strengthen and promote the rich artisanal traditions of Kachchh district of Gujarat in India since 2005. Their name stands for Kachchh Heritage, Art, Music, Information and Resources. Khamir means ‘intrinsic pride’ in Kachchhi, the local language.

It serves as a platform for the promotion of traditional handicrafts and allied cultural practices, the processes involved in their creation, and the preservation of culture, community and local environments. They strive to create a democratic and empowering space - a common roof under which a range of stakeholders can exchange ideas and collaborate. They work to shift consumer perspectives and raise the cultural value placed on crafts.
