Ranchi, Jan 8 (KNN)  Jharkhand Silk Textile and Handicraft Development Corporation that promotes tusar culture, handloom and handicrafts in an effort to revive the unique culture of the state, is taking various steps to expand production and improve quality of products.

In particular, the corporation is keen to effectively manage its Urban Haat’s production activities and organise training programmes that would ensure quality products.

In this context, Jharcraft seeks bids from companies, NGOs, societies and firm to manage these initiatives.  The firms should have knowledge in management, production and training of handicraft, handloom, sericulture and other livelihood activities.

Inspired by Delhi’s Dilli Haat, Urban Haat, a concept of the Union Textiles and Handicraft Ministry, has been set up in Hazaribagh to encourage rural artisans and Self Helf Groups (SHG).

Located near the Patna-Ranchi road with 50 stalls, production hall, seven food courts, guest House, Design Centre and Cafeteria, the haat is spread across an area of 9.75 acres of land.  (KNN/ES)
