Crafting Our Future For Earth Consciousness and Sustainable Living BANGALORE VOLUME 4, ISSUE - 1 JANUARY - MARCH 2013 Rs. 80/- Crafting our Future The Joy of Making Craft and Sustainability The Kitchen is a Temple Where the Hand has Ears Satish Kumar Vandana Shiva AmadouJanuary - MarchHampate 2013 Eternal Ba Bhoomi 1 Today, an argument, an attitude, faces crafts and artisans in India. This is the argument of economics, of sustainability, of marketability, which is the argument of financial survival... (But) those who believe that crafts are only about beauty and aesthetics are in error, just as those who believe in the other argument, the economic argument, and think that paying for itself is the sole justification, are wrong... The hard argument, the real argument, which overrides all others, is not exclusively about sentiment or reason – but about common sense. And that common sense tells that whatever we do in terms of economic planning and development in India, there will always be several hundred million people in this country, the figure being unverified, who cannot but live with and through the work of their hands. Now it is a great compensation of nature that these hundreds and millions of people have talent in their hand, which the assembly-liners and the free-marketers do not quite concede. And that talent is the unexplored reservoir which needs to be used for their good which means the greater good of the great number of the people of India. - Gopalkrishna Gandhi Quoted in the Craft Economics and Impact Study Report published by the Crafts Council of India, Chennai, April 2011. 2 Eternal Bhoomi January - March 2013 Crafting our FUTURE Tree of Life by Ramesh Tepya, Gond Artist Gond of Life by Ramesh Tepya, Tree There is an old story about a girl and her red shoes which It’s not a pleasant story – and neither is the story of illustrates well our modern civilisation’s struggles with a our modern civilization which continues to celebrate the machine-dominated world. production of huge amounts of machine made things at every level and in every sphere.

  • Handicrafts-And-Khadi-Industry
    LOCATION OF INDUSTRIES-LoGENERAL STUDIES PAPER 1 HANDICRAFTS AND KHADI INDUSTRY The handloom, industry has been one of the oldest industries in India. Although the industry was ruined was ruined during the British colonial rule.it got tremendous boost after India attained independence, especially hen the Five-Year Plan started. The industry today provides employment to about 10 million people and contributes over 23 per cent of the total cloth production in the country . The handloom industry is widely distributed in the country, mostly concentrated in small towns and rural areas. Tamil Nadu, Odisha, Uttar Pradesh, Assam and Andhra Pradesh Account for over 50 per cent of the production capacity. Among other states Manipur, Maharashtra , West Bengal, Nagaland, Kerala, Rajasthan, Haryana, Jammu and Kashmir, Madhya Pradesh and Karnataka are important for handloom industry. Problems of Handloom and Khadi Industries The handloom and khadi industry faces a number of problems. These include the following: 1. The raw materials available for this industry are neither adequate nor of satisfactory quality. 2. The craftsmen employed in this industry belong to poor families and have no technical skills. 3. The technology used in these industries is old and obsolete. 4. The goods produced y these industries are no match to the modern fast changing fashions and designs. 5. These industries have to face competition from mill-made cloth. 6. These industries lack capital as few facilities exist for providing cheap credit. The Kutch embroidery of Gujarat or Zari-Zardozi and Chikankari of Uttar Pradesh, wooden toys of Karnataka or bamboo craft of Assam, puppets of Rajasthan or Sikki, Tikuli and Madhubani arts of Bihar are not only the traditional arts of the respective provinces but also form an important source of alternative income for the artisans.

  • The Relationship of Current Textiles to the Cultural Heritage of India
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF STEPHANIE ANN WEGNER for the Master of Science (Name) (Degree) in Clothing and Textiles presented on August 4, 1967 (Major) (Date) Title: THE RELATIONSHIP OF CURRENT TEXTILES TO THE CULTURAL HERITAGE OF INDIA Abstract approved: Redacted for privacy Clara W. Edaburn Textiles are one material aspect of Indian life influenced by the nationalistic movement. They fit into a larger attempt to create a united and singular image of the country. As the creator of a national image, the central government encourages belief in ancient philoso- phies which hold beauty as a creed. Village life is idealized. Direction of the textile industry reflects self -pride and typifies nationalism, as idealistic goals are set and realistic advice of foreigners is disregarded, India, in aiming for new heights, attempts to relate historical achievements to the present. Her interest in the past calls for continuity of its spirit, rather than imitation of its objects. How- ever, as village life has been quite static, ancient forms as well as attitudes from that level of society continue to exist, represented by , the textiles. This makes it easy for the nationalist to encourage relationships to cultural heritage through current goals and products. The dominant place of religion, the caste system, and the arts explain why textiles of India have developed and remained as a craft. The handloom weaver is protected by a cottage industry plan. The Indian says the acceptance of modern methods of dyeing and machine spinning are an example of the ancient tendency for assimilation of outside influences into the tradition.

ISBN 90 70754 177 Printed in the Netherlands Preface At the beginning of the 1980’s, the International Institute for Land Reclamation and Improvement (ILRI) approached the Dutch Directorate of International Cooperation (DGIS) with a proposal that DGIS assist in financing an ILRI publication entitled Health and Zrrigation. This publication would be concerned with health care in irriga- tion projects in areas where water-related diseases (e.g. malaria, schistosomiasis, filar- iasis, onchocerciasis) were endemic or could become endemic through the implementa- tion of water-resources-development projects. Before any irrigation project is planned, implemented, and operated, ILRI feels that a study should be made of the project’s potential consequences for human health. This study should be holistic and multidisciplinary; it should identify any expected negative effects on human health, and should make a cost-benefit analysis of the mea- sures that need to be taken to prevent, treat, and control any of the identified diseases. It should focus particular attention on environmental-management measures and on the institutional aspects of incorporating safeguards into the project.

(ed.) 1992. Faidhierbia albida in the West African semi-arid tropics: proceedings of a workshop, 22-26 Apr 1991, Niamey, Niger. (In En. Summaries in En, Fr, Es.) Patancheru, A.P. 502 324, India: International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics; and Nairobi, Kenya: International Centre for Research in Agroforestry. 212 pp. ISBN 92-9066-220-4. Order Code: CPE 076. This workshop brought together scientists and development workers, primarily those working in the West Africa region, to: review past and present research findings on Faidherbiaalbida; discuss development issues and "lessons learned" from past and present; list research priorities for the future; and promote collaboration between research and development programs. These proceedings summarize the state of knowledge on the species and provide a comprehensive list of ongoing research. Papers are divided into sessions on: botany and distribution: uses; genetics, provenance trials, and vegetative proplgation; site eff'ects, silvi.ulture, and rhizosphere; and development issues. Recommenda­ tions from Working Grcups for future research and multidisciplinary linkages are included.
