Overview
Antaran aims to transform traditional crafts through a multi-pronged approached for technical, design, enterprise and market development to strengthen craft-based livelihoods. Convey ground stories of Indian handloom and handicrafts out to create awareness, bring due recognition and returns to traditional artisans for their unique skills. Through a 5 year programme through Incubation & Design Centres for handloom development in selected clusters of Assam, Nagaland and Odisha. The Centres would work as education and business development hubs for artisans, enabling them to be weaver-designers and help build a community of micro-entrepreneurs across the handloom value chain in each region. A fulltime expert team with professionals from business, textile design and technical backgrounds would facilitate this process.
