Jun 23, 2019

Srinagar (Jammu and Kashmir), June 23, ANI: The Indian National Trust for Art and Cultural Heritage (INTACH) of Jammu and Kashmir organised a workshop in Srinagar. The aim was to revive and preserve the importance of Kashmiri art and to boost the overall artisan community of Srinagar. The workshop was conducted because the handicraft products play a vital role to generate employment in the state. With the help of handicraft products the cultural and traditional activities are still alive in the valley but presently the artisan community is facing hardships due to the lack of good infrastructure along with basic facilities to nourish their art. The workshop included administrators, artisans, policy makers and representatives of design schools and civil society associated with the promotion and restoration of art and craft who shared their thoughts on the topic.
