New avenues for innovation and entrepreneurship in handicrafts |
The Craft Development Institute (CDI) adopts a holistic approach to handicrafts development by maximizing the potential of skill-based activities, in as many ways as possible. Located in Srinagar, CDI draws inspiration from the rich heritage of arts and crafts in Jammu & Kashmir and brings together various stakeholders, individuals and agencies working in the sector to co-partner in implementing a sustainable development process. By providing a forum for creative exchange and knowledge creation across design, management and technology, CDI endeavours to create new avenues for innovation and entrepreneurship in handicrafts. |
