The Baha'i Vocational Institute for Rural Women was established in 1985 for the upliftment of rural and tribal women living in small communities in the districts around Indore. During the first few years of operation, it focused primarily on developing income-generating skills like producing small mats, incense-sticks, dry leaf cups, candles, chalk-sticks and handloom weaving.
