“Jammu and Kashmir has rich history of handicrafts being practiced across all the three region and I am hopeful that this capacity building workshop of five-days will equip these women artisans to gain insights on design, marketing, quality control and technology which in turn will help them to establish independent craft enterprises,” Jardosh said.
Chairperson, NCW Rekha Sharma appreciated the efforts of NIFT Srinagar for customizing this capacity building workshop for women artisans. “This workshop is aimed to enhance the operational efficiency and competitiveness of these 40 women artisans and will help them to understand design elements, market trends, branding and use of social media for marketing,” she said.
Director Handicrafts and Handlooms, Kashmir Tariq stressed on the need for conducting such kind of capacity building workshops at regular intervals to update artisans and weavers with changing market dynamics.
He suggested a convergent approach between NIFT, CDI, IICT and School of Design for promotion and development of arts and crafts.
