The Directorate of Handicrafts and Handloom, Kashmir (DHHK) had submitted two proposals in the month of February 2022 to Handicrafts and Carpet Sector Skill Council of India for recognizing CDI and IICT as Centre of Excellence in Traditional and Heritage Crafts.

 

The twin Centre of Excellence in skilling ecosystem have been envisioned to be one stop resource centres for raising training standards, boost productivity, address emerging skill-gaps and align training & research with the current industry needs with the intent to overcome skill demand-supply mismatch and to have continuous supply of skilled workforce and disseminate best practices.

 

The key objectives of the Centre of Excellence CDI/IICT include conducting high quality training in Handicrafts and Carpet sector with special focus on reviving the languishing crafts and new/future crafts with emerging technologies.

 

The CoE shall also work towards developing association between academia and industry for the benefit of the skill development sector, conduct Research and Development in Handicrafts and Carpet sector and disseminate the results of the R&D and other activities through filling of patents and transforming them into sustainable business proposals/solutions.

 

It shall also provide support to creative and innovative designs with respect to crafts based on the emerging national and international demands and establish a sound new institutional base for executing the programmes/projects by strengthening the existing infrastructure.

 

Director, Handicrafts and Handloom, Kashmir said, “These CoE institutions are first of its kind in Handicrafts and Carpet Sector in J&K and have been envisioned to work towards realizing the vision of Atmanirbhar Bharat wherein the traditional and heritage crafts from J&K shall be taken to the global level by introducing frugal design innovations and develop a unique academia-industry model for the better product development to revive the Handicrafts and Carpet industry of the UT”.

 

Besides, the two CoE shall work to foster relations across countries, between governments, provide incubation, mentoring & support to start-ups in the entrepreneurship education domain and establish an Entrepreneurship cell for interested youth in Handicrafts and Carpet Sector.

These shall also conduct training of trainers for master trainers and shall also host exclusive art galleries.

 

The CoE shall offer skill development courses as per with the National Skills Qualification Framework (NSQF)with an aim to increase employability of the artisans and job seekers in the Handicrafts & Carpet sector for different job roles, certifying up to 500 candidates and training as much as 100 master trainers in next 3 years.

 

In recognition of this, two skill development courses have already been started in Papier-Machie and Carpets at CDI and IICT respectively. These courses are being run under the aegis of NCPUL and Central Wool Development Board, Ministry of Textiles, government of India.

 

Both the CoE at CDI and IICT is recognized by the Ministry of Skill Development & Entrepreneurship (MSDE) through National Council of Vocational Education and Training.

 

This comes in the backdrop of launching the GI certification and labeling for all the crafts for which the J&K UT has become pioneer in the country.

 

Besides, the DHHK has recently received the sanction for setting up of two Raw Material Banks under Wool and Pashmina.
