A little-known art gallery

Tucked away in the rushed, hurried environment of the City Railway Station is a most unexpected oasis…an art gallery.

In short, they are making their voices heard and making their labour visible. As part of our ongoing Satyagraha for the Sacred Economy, Gram Seva Sangh, Centre for Budget and Policy Studies along with few more organisations want to create a platform in the…
