I belong to a family of traditional textile block printers from Sanganer. Sanganer – place which is well known throughout the world for its fine printing with wooden blocks on fabrics.
Being a National Award Winner, year 1991( National Award is conferred to the Crafts persons and weavers in recognition of their outstanding contribution, craftsmanship & development of craft) I have been actively involved and working for the up-liftment of craftsmen by running various educational and vocational training centers. I am also energetically involved in the developments which are taking place regarding the future of hand-block printing in Sanganer and providing employment to 85 odd units dealing in hand-block printing, hand embroidery and stitching which are located in Jaipur, Sanganer, Bagru and near by places and treats every craft person as the original creator of the design and the process because he is the one who knows his job well and has been doing it since ages and thus can create things which are truly his own creations.
I am currently running an NGO in the name of Shilpi Sansthan.
Shilpi Sansthan is an NGO in Sanganer, Jaipur, Rajasthan that for 14 years has been working in the economic development of the surrounding rural area as well as the continued survival and competitiveness of hand-made textiles. It is supported by 13 members and run by 3 officers. All of these are members of the local textile business community and help to financially support the NGO. The organization sees traditional textile manufacturing methods as under threat, and is working to save the same by providing livelihood to the local area at the same time. This is done through providing a common front for some members of the local textile community and the organization and support of 12 Self-Help Groups(SHGs) set up in villages around Sanganer. These groups have been taught to do hand work on textiles and sell them to the local textile distributors. The NGO also makes connections between these labor forces and textile distributors, and connections between the distributors themselves with the goal of helping all. It was founded by myself and I act as secretary and also own a local textile distribution firm, Shilpi, A House of Textiles. This brings a certain business aspect to the NGO and its goals, although the NGO itself, however, cannot officially give financial support to the workers because of its status as a non-profit organization. Instead it organizes the groups and connects them to buyers, or I buy the textiles through Shilpi House of Textiles. Shilpi Sansthan’s SHGs are made up entirely of women from the local farming communities who have come to me in order to start SHGs to create additional income. They receive training and support to do handwork on textiles and sell them to local distributors
Design development and training with handloom Weavers and Handicraft artisans are some favorite areas of work profile. Providing services such for textile dyeing and textile hand block printing with vegetable dyes are also part of my profile.
I am always looking for avenues that provides ample opportunity to showcase the excellence of Natural/Vegetable Dyeing and Printing Handicrafts at International as well as National platforms.
