Started off with just 15 weavers in a political earnest region, Incorporated around 50,000 weavers by the end of the project bringing social and financial upliftment to their lives. The course of action included training of weavers, creating consortium among them and planning & implementing funds to develop self help design centers at different part of the state.
Working with traditional techniques on a modern platform, raising product quality in terms of design, aesthetic and diversification by infusing global standard in Indian handicrafts was my other key input to this position.
The product thus developed travelled across the globe to various Indian Government foreign trade exhibit. For the efforts, Shantipur District in West Bengal won the best progressive cluster award among 32 clusters in India.
