Tara (Trade Alternative Reform Action) Projects made its humble beginning in early seventies with the objective of creating avenues of socio- economic development for disadvantaged and excluded communities through affirmative actions in Delhi and its surrounding area mostly in the unorganized home-based sector. Encouraged by its initial success, the Project gradually extended its socio-economic and trade reform activities to the adjoining states, Uttar Pradesh, Haryana and Rajasthan in Northern India. The organization was formed to work for the holistic empowerment i.e. education, skill development, livelihood generation and other socio-economic issues based on Fair Trade principles.
