Vision
The Taj uses its competencies in areas such as food production, housekeeping and laundry to develop and train ‘raw’
people to enable their earning a livelihood. For example partnering with NGOs to train underprivileged women
housewives in hospitality, self-grooming and house-keeping.
Globally, the Taj is synonymous to the culture and heritage of India and our ‘Building Livelihoods’ theme is extended
to the artisans and craftsmen of India. The Taj, in association with ‘Paramparik Karigar’ identifies the artisans and
craftsmen across India, in areas close in and around the location of our hotels and assigns projects to trainees who
identify projects that the hotel can take forward. The project provides our trainees with exposure to the unique arts
and crafts of India. It gives our trainees a unique opportunity to live within the community and broaden their own
outlook. The project has a strong, long-term impact and creates a strong platform for volunteering.
