About Us

WHO ARE WE?

Arpan Foundation has been devoted to the holistic development of folk art and artists. It has been on a mission to promote awareness among adolescent girls in rural parts of Rajasthan through a program, ‘HallaBol’. During the pandemic, the Foundation extended humble support to folk artists in the remote areas through a unique Virtual Covid Relief Concert Series, ‘PadharoMhare Des’, initiated and curated by Manesha A Agarwal. The Foundation continues to make efforts to raise funds to help and promote more folk artists

Arpan Foundation and Ms. Manesha A Agarwal have a long association with folk artists from the hinterlands of Rajasthan. During the challenging times of the pandemic, the Foundation and Ms. Agarwal, felt a compelling need to help them sustain.
