My name is Bangaru Tata Rao Vishwakarma and I’m here to fundraise for VESSO, an NGO regd as a society, has been striving hard for two years in Andhra Pradesh and also partly Telangana to uplift poor Vishwakarma artisans like blacksmiths, Carpenters, bronzesmiths, stone-carvers, and goldsmiths. Due to technological advancement or economic reforms, many artisans either lost their work or were badly affected. A few even committed suicide while a few others fell sick and died unable to afford good medical treatment.
