Chhattisgarh artist helps ex-Maoists find livelihood
An artist from Chhattisgarh, Ajay Mandavi, has helped over 150 former Maoists find a livelihood in the Kanker district by teaching them wooden calligraphy. Mandavi founded Shanta Art, a self-help group, in 2015 to provide them "a sense of respect". He further plans to sell a 384-page self-inscribed Bible, to gain sufficient funds to open shops for his students.
