ISLAMIA MODEL PUBLIC HIGH SCHOOL, HABLISHI, hosted CRAFT DEMONSTRATION-CUM-AWARENESS PROGRAMME today on 21 November 2025 under the MOUTH Scheme, bringing students face-to-face with Kashmir’s rich handicraft traditions. The event was sponsored by the Office of the Development Commissioner (Handicrafts), Ministry of Textiles, Government of India, and organised by the Handicrafts Service Centre, Anantnag.
The programme aimed at exposing students to the skills, discipline, and history behind Kashmir’s famous crafts. Artisans demonstrated techniques used in papier-mâché, wood carving, Sozni embroidery, and other traditional crafts. Students didn’t just watch—they interacted, asked questions, and tried their hands at basic techniques, giving them a genuine appreciation of the skill required.
The CDAP also highlighted the importance of preserving handicrafts in a world increasingly driven by mass-produced goods. Resource persons explained how craft-based livelihoods support thousands of families in Jammu & Kashmir and why young people should understand—and respect—the economic and cultural value of these traditions.
