Loksutr is pronounced as Low-k,Soot-r. The word "loksutr" is a compound word of "Lok" meaning folk, people, and in some contexts even the world, and the word "sutr" literally means a thread. Sutr in Indian literary traditions refers to an aphorism or a collection of aphorisms in the form of a manual or, more broadly, a condensed manual or text. Loksutr hence is a thread, an extraction out of the rich socio-cultural tapestry of indigenous communities.
Loksutr is a social enterprise that enables indigenous communities to transform their intangible cultural heritage and traditional knowledge systems into contemporary collectibles by fostering community-based inventorying and capacity building along with value-addition innovations, and new media collaborations.
