While speaking at #HandmadeDilSe telethon, Dr Ashok Khosla, Chairman, Development Alternatives said that in order to understand the handicraft, there is a need to go back to the values of Mahatma Gandhi. He asserted that over the past years, the country as a whole seems to have forgotten its artisans who possess the traditional skills and knowledge and have immense potential. Kanika Verma, Lead, Entrepreneurship Programme, Development Alternatives added that the voice of the artisans must be given importance in order to truly address the problems that they are facing.
