Happy to announce that NIFT Delhi and the State Urban Livelihoods Mission, Delhi are working together with the objective to support livelihoods of urban SHG women in the post-pandemic period through skill development in handpainted apparel items. Senior Prof. Dr Banhi Jha and student volunteers conducted a workshop on 30 April 2022 for women artisans primarily engaged in Madhubani painting. This initiative ties in with the objective of NIFT’s craft cluster initiative where design-based interactions and inputs in motif placement, proportion and colour combinations dovetail with inputs on craft markets of Delhi, urban consumer preferences and pricing.
