A Helping Hand in Times of Crisis: HSC Imphal Extends Support to 68 Artisans Affected by Manipur Community Clashes

The pain of losing one’s home, livelihood and lifelong belongings is difficult to describe in words. For families affected by the recent community clashes in Manipur, the trauma has been particularly devastating. Many people have spent a prolonged period in rehabilitation camps after their houses were burnt and their properties destroyed. For them, life has had to begin again—almost from zero.

Among those affected are 68 artisans who are presently staying in a rehabilitation camp in Imphal East. Their homes, belongings and sources of livelihood have been severely affected, leaving many of them facing acute financial hardship. Their children continue their education while living in the rehabilitation camp, making the struggle for normalcy even more difficult.
Recognising the difficult circumstances faced by these artisan families, the Handicrafts Service Centre (HSC), Imphal, under the Office of the Development Commissioner (Handicrafts), took the initiative to extend immediate humanitarian assistance. The matter was discussed with a Non-Governmental Organisation associated with the office, with the objective of providing whatever support was possible to the affected artisan families.

Accordingly, relief materials were distributed to the 68 artisans, comprising 5 kg rice, 2.5 kg potatoes, 1 kg peas, 1 kg dal, 1 kg sugar, 100 grams tea, 250 grams Amul milk powder, two packets of Maggi, three packets of biscuits, one soap, two packets of papad and one litre of mustard oil for each beneficiary.

“Standing Together in Times of Crisis — A Helping Hand for the People of Manipur”

The relief programme was organised by HSC, Imphal, for people affected by the recent community clashes in Manipur under the message:

“Standing Together in Times of Crisis — A Helping Hand for the People of Manipur.”

The programme was held at Imphal East, Manipur, in the presence of officers and representatives associated with the concerned relief camp and district authorities, including Shri Waikhom Jiban Meitei, Nodal Officer, Porompat Veterinary Relief Camp, Government of Manipur, and Shri Senjam Ibohanbi Singh, Representative of the Relief Camp, along with other well-wishers and associated persons.

However, the initiative was not limited merely to distribution of essential food and household items. The affected artisans expressed a deeper and more urgent need—the means to rebuild their livelihoods.

The artisans requested that they may be provided tool kits through HSC, Imphal, so that they can restart their traditional handicraft activities, produce quality finished products and gradually regain their economic independence. Such support could enable them to participate in exhibitions and other marketing platforms, thereby creating opportunities to earn income and support their families.

From Relief to Rehabilitation

For an artisan who has lost a home, tools, raw materials and accumulated possessions, restoring livelihood is not an overnight process. Food assistance can provide immediate relief, but sustainable rehabilitation requires handholding, skill support, tools, market access and opportunities to earn.

Keeping this larger objective in view, HSC, Imphal, also attempted to undertake online registration of all 68 affected artisans. However, the registration process could not be completed due to a server-related technical problem. Nevertheless, the details of the artisans have been collected by the Centre and it has been decided to accord priority to their cases for further necessary assistance.

The initiative highlights an important principle: relief should ultimately lead to rehabilitation, and rehabilitation should lead to self-reliance.

For these 68 artisans, a tool kit may be much more than a collection of equipment. It could represent an opportunity to return to their craft, rebuild their confidence, generate an income and once again become economically independent.

The suffering endured by families displaced by community violence is an unforgettable chapter in their lives. Their children are growing up in rehabilitation camps while continuing their education, and their parents are struggling to rebuild what was lost. The road back to financial stability will undoubtedly be long and challenging.

At such a difficult juncture, sustained institutional support and collective community efforts can make a meaningful difference. The affected artisans do not merely need sympathy—they need opportunity, tools, markets and continued handholding to rebuild their lives with dignity.

The hope is that no human being should ever have to experience such devastation again. Until normalcy and stability return, initiatives that provide compassionate relief today and sustainable livelihood tomorrow can become a vital bridge between displacement and a dignified new beginning.

From Sanchipat to the National Canvas: Sujit Das’s Dashavatar Puts Assam’s Puthi Chitra in the Spotlight
A centuries-old manuscript painting tradition from Assam earns national recognition at the 65th Lalit Kala National Exhibition

NAGAON, ASSAM — A remarkable chapter has been added to Assam’s rich artistic history as celebrated artist Sujit Das’s Dashavatar has been selected for the prestigious 65th Lalit Kala National Exhibition, organised by the Lalit Kala Akademi at the National Gallery of Modern Art, New Delhi.

The recognition marks a significant moment not only for Das but also for Puthi Chitra, Assam’s traditional manuscript-painting tradition, which is now finding a prominent place on the national contemporary art stage.

Created on Sanchipat, a traditional writing and painting material prepared from the bark of the agar tree, Puthi Chitra represents a fascinating meeting point of literature, spirituality, mythology and visual art. For centuries, Assamese artists have used this distinctive medium to illustrate sacred and literary manuscripts, including works associated with the Ramayana, Mahabharata, Bhagavad Gita and devotional literature.

Das’s Dashavatar brings this heritage into contemporary national visibility. The artwork portrays the ten incarnations of Lord Vishnu, combining mythology with the distinctive visual vocabulary of Assam’s manuscript-art tradition. Its carefully rendered figures, characteristic lines, compositions, decorative elements and narrative treatment reflect the artistic grammar that has evolved around Puthi Chitra over generations.

The selection is particularly significant because Puthi Chitra is far more than a painting technique. It is a visual archive of Assam’s cultural memory—a tradition in which stories were not merely written but also brought alive through colour, symbolism and meticulously crafted imagery.

The national exhibition, inaugurated on 21 August, brought together artists and art practitioners from across the country. The inauguration ceremony was attended by Union Minister for Culture Gajendra Singh Shekhawat, Minister of State for Culture Rao Inderjit Singh, and senior officials including Vivek Agarwal, Secretary, Ministry of Culture, and K.K. Mishra, Joint Secretary, Ministry of Culture. The exhibition was also described as an important platform for celebrating India’s diverse artistic traditions.

The recognition of Dashavatar comes at a time when traditional Indian art forms are increasingly being rediscovered and presented within contemporary cultural spaces. The inclusion of Puthi Chitra in such a prestigious national exhibition underscores its artistic depth and its continuing relevance.

For Sujit Das, whose artistic journey spans more than 25 years, the achievement is the culmination of a sustained commitment to preserving, documenting and promoting Assam’s traditional Puthi Chitra. His work has helped introduce this rare manuscript-art tradition to wider audiences in India and abroad.

What makes the achievement especially meaningful is the manner in which Das has remained rooted in tradition while allowing the art form to communicate with the modern world. His work demonstrates that heritage does not have to remain confined to museums or fragile manuscripts—it can evolve, reach new audiences and participate confidently in the contemporary art discourse.

The selection of Dashavatar therefore represents more than an individual artistic honour. It is a national acknowledgement of Assam’s cultural inheritance and of the remarkable artistic knowledge embedded within Puthi Chitra.

From the bark of the agar tree to the galleries of New Delhi, Sujit Das’s Dashavatar has carried with it a story that spans centuries—a story of faith, craftsmanship, imagination and cultural continuity.

Assam’s traditional Puthi Chitra has entered the national art stage, and with it, an ancient artistic voice is once again being heard across India.

Where Tradition Meets Modernity: Adiyogi Shiva in the Living Language of Indian Craft
A unique exhibition at the National Crafts Museum & Hastkala Academy brings India’s ancient craft vocabulary into dialogue with contemporary artistic expression

New Delhi: What happens when centuries-old Indian craftsmanship meets contemporary artistic imagination? The answer unfolds through “Adiyogi Shiva in Vastu Shilpa: Tradition and Modernity,” an upcoming exhibition at the National Crafts Museum & Hastkala Academy (NCM&HKA), Pragati Maidan, New Delhi, where the timeless symbolism of Shiva becomes a bridge between India’s rich artistic past and its evolving creative present.

India’s crafts are not merely objects of beauty. They are living repositories of memory, identity and cultural knowledge. Every woven thread, embroidered surface, painted motif and sculptural form carries the imprint of the community, region and generations of artisans that created it. The National Crafts Museum, under the Ministry of Textiles, Government of India, preserves this extraordinary legacy through a remarkable collection of traditional crafts representing diverse artistic traditions from across the country.

More than a museum of historic objects, NCM&HKA functions as a living classroom of Indian civilisation. Its collections provide students, designers, researchers and scholars an opportunity to closely understand traditional materials, techniques, motifs and aesthetic principles. Its exhibitions further bring these traditions into contemporary conversations, allowing audiences to discover new meanings in familiar forms.

Against this backdrop, the forthcoming exhibition, conceived under the curatorial leadership of Ms. Nidhi, Curator & Deputy Director (Design & Documentation), NCM&HKA, assumes particular significance.

The exhibition is envisioned through two interconnected sections. The first explores traditional representations of Adiyogi Shiva through textiles and three-dimensional crafts. Works associated with traditions such as Sajni Kantha, Kalamkari, Pichwai, Ajrakh and Appliqué, along with bronze and other sculptural works from the museum’s collection, reveal how the image and symbolism of Shiva have travelled across regions and artistic communities.

Despite their differences in technique, material, colour and composition, these works share a deeper cultural vocabulary. Shiva emerges as a symbol of transformation, creation, transcendence and cosmic consciousness.

The second section moves from inherited traditions to contemporary expression. Here, the imagery of Adiyogi is reinterpreted through large-scale textile artworks created on hand-spun Khadi using indigo resist-dyeing techniques by textile exponent Ms. Sangeeta Gupta. The earthy character of Khadi and the striking depth of natural indigo provide a contemporary canvas for an ancient idea.

The exhibition’s deeper message is that tradition is not a relic—it is a continuum. Preservation does not necessarily mean keeping heritage unchanged. It can also mean allowing traditional knowledge to inspire experimentation, innovation and new artistic languages.

In this meeting of museum masterpieces and contemporary textile art, Adiyogi becomes more than a religious or artistic motif. He becomes a metaphor for continuity and transformation.

Expected to commence on Tuesday and continue until 21 September 2026, the exhibition invites craft lovers, students, researchers, artists and the general public to experience this unique dialogue between past and present.

For the artists and crafts community, public engagement itself is a meaningful form of encouragement. Every visitor who pauses to understand, appreciate and engage with an artwork contributes to keeping India’s living craft traditions visible and relevant.

Ultimately, Adiyogi Shiva in Vastu Shilpa: Tradition and Modernity celebrates a powerful truth: tradition provides the roots, while creativity gives it new branches. Through Adiyogi Shiva, the exhibition reminds us that India’s craft heritage does not belong only to history—it continues to evolve, inspire and speak to every new generation.

बाढ़ से जंग जीतकर जामनगर पहुँची ‘जयमति’, अब विशेषज्ञ चिकित्सा से स्वस्थ होने की उम्मीद

नागालैंड की विनाशकारी बाढ़ में बह जाने के बाद सुरक्षित बचाई गई 53 वर्षीय हथिनी ‘जयमति’ को गंभीर चोटों के उपचार के लिए जामनगर स्थित वंतारा लाया गया है। बाढ़ के दौरान जयमति के शरीर पर कई गहरे घाव हो गए थे और उसकी स्वास्थ्य स्थिति लगातार चुनौतीपूर्ण बनी हुई थी। अब विशेषज्ञ पशु चिकित्सकों की निगरानी में उसका गहन उपचार किया जा रहा है।

जुलाई के दूसरे सप्ताह में नागालैंड में आई भीषण बाढ़ के तेज बहाव में जयमति बह गई थी। स्थानीय लोगों और विभिन्न सरकारी एजेंसियों के संयुक्त प्रयास से उसे सुरक्षित बाहर निकाला गया। हालांकि, इस प्राकृतिक आपदा ने उसके शरीर पर कई गंभीर जख्म छोड़ दिए। उसके माथे, दाहिने कान, पूंछ के ऊपरी हिस्से, बाईं जांघ के अंदरूनी हिस्से और पेट पर गहरे घाव पाए गए। बाहरी जननांग के पास बने एक गहरे घाव में कीड़े पड़ जाने से उसकी पीड़ा और बढ़ गई।

बाढ़ के दौरान उसकी दाहिनी आंख भी गंभीर रूप से घायल हुई, जिसके कारण उसकी उस आंख की दृष्टि हमेशा के लिए चली गई। वर्तमान में उस आंख से लगातार पानी बह रहा है।

जयमति की परेशानी केवल बाढ़ की चोटों तक सीमित नहीं है। उसके बाएं पिछले पैर में पुरानी चोट है, जो कथित तौर पर लकड़ी ढोने के दौरान लगी थी। पैर में फ्रैक्चर के कारण वह लंबे समय से लंगड़ाकर चलती रही है, जिससे उसके लिए चलना-फिरना और भोजन की तलाश करना भी कठिन रहा है।

बचाव के बाद उसे प्राथमिक पशु चिकित्सा उपचार दिया गया, जिसमें घावों की ड्रेसिंग, दर्द निवारण तथा मल्टीविटामिन और खनिज सप्लीमेंट शामिल थे। लेकिन चोटों की गंभीरता, उम्र और पुरानी शारीरिक समस्या को देखते हुए उन्नत चिकित्सा की आवश्यकता महसूस हुई।

विशेष चिकित्सा के लिए एयरलिफ्ट

लंबी सड़क यात्रा से होने वाली थकान और शारीरिक परेशानी से बचाने के लिए जयमति को विमान के माध्यम से जामनगर स्थित वंतारा पहुंचाया गया। इस पूरी प्रक्रिया में पशु चिकित्सकों, वन्यजीव देखभाल विशेषज्ञों और लॉजिस्टिक टीमों के बीच विशेष समन्वय किया गया।

वंतारा में विशेषज्ञ चिकित्सक जयमति की व्यापक स्वास्थ्य जांच कर उसके आगे के उपचार की योजना तय करेंगे। उसकी आंख, गंभीर घावों, पोषण, दवाओं और समग्र पुनर्वास पर विशेष ध्यान दिया जाएगा। उपलब्ध जानकारी के अनुसार, आपातकालीन चिकित्सा के लिए किसी हाथी को विमान से ले जाने की यह भारत में पहली ऐसी पहल बताई गई है।

वन्यजीव चिकित्सा ढांचे को मजबूत करने की जरूरत

जयमति का मामला प्राकृतिक आपदाओं और मानव-वन्यजीव संघर्ष से प्रभावित क्षेत्रों में वन्यजीवों के लिए उन्नत चिकित्सा सुविधाएं उनके प्राकृतिक आवास के करीब उपलब्ध कराने की आवश्यकता को भी रेखांकित करता है।

स्थानीय स्तर पर वन्यजीव चिकित्सा व्यवस्था मजबूत करने के उद्देश्य से असम में तीन विशेष वन्यजीव चिकित्सा केंद्र स्थापित करने का प्रस्ताव रखा गया है, जिसमें हाथियों के लिए एक समर्पित केंद्र भी शामिल है। इन केंद्रों से आपात स्थिति में घायल वन्यजीवों को उनके आवास के निकट ही बेहतर उपचार उपलब्ध कराने में मदद मिल सकती है।

महत्वपूर्ण रूप से, जयमति को वंतारा ले जाना स्थायी स्थानांतरण नहीं है। उपचार पूरा होने और पूरी तरह स्वस्थ तथा शारीरिक रूप से सक्षम होने के बाद उसे उसके प्राकृतिक आवास में वापस भेजे जाने की योजना है।

फिलहाल विशेषज्ञों का लक्ष्य है कि उचित उपचार, पोषण और देखभाल के माध्यम से जयमति को स्वस्थ किया जाए और उसे फिर से सामान्य जीवन की ओर लौटने का अवसर दिया जाए।

The Ministry of Textiles, Office of the Development Commissioner (Handlooms) organised the National Handloom Designers’ Conclave 2026, marking a significant step towards strengthening India’s handloom sector through design-led innovation, creativity and market-oriented product development.

The conclave was inaugurated by Smt. Neelam Shami Rao, Secretary, Ministry of Textiles, bringing together a vibrant confluence of ideas, expertise and India’s rich handloom heritage. The occasion also celebrated the winners of the National Handloom Design Contest 2026, recognising outstanding creativity and innovative contributions towards shaping the future of Indian handlooms.

The event was graced by Dr. M. Beena, Development Commissioner (Handlooms); Smt. Amrit Raj, Development Commissioner (Handicrafts); and Shri Akhilesh Kumar, DDG, Ministry of Textiles, along with eminent designers, textile experts, academicians, master weavers, cluster designers, exporters, retailers and other stakeholders.

A major highlight was the exhibition showcasing innovative design interventions and contemporary product development initiatives from nine handloom clusters across eight States. The exhibition demonstrated how traditional weaving skills, when complemented by modern design thinking, can create products with enhanced aesthetic appeal, functionality and market potential.

The National Handloom Design Contest 2026 Prize Ceremony further celebrated creative excellence across the Apparel, Home Furnishing, Craft Revival and Jury’s Special Recognition categories.

Manipur Brings Pride to the North East

The conclave became a particularly proud occasion for the North Eastern Region, as a talented team from Manipur won prize money of ₹50,000/- in the National Handloom Design Contest. This achievement goes far beyond the monetary award. It represents national recognition of the creative potential, indigenous knowledge and rich textile heritage of the Northeast.

Manipur possesses a distinctive handloom tradition deeply connected with its cultural identity and generations-old weaving knowledge. The success of the Manipur team demonstrates that the region’s weavers, artisans and designers possess immense potential to transform traditional craftsmanship into contemporary, innovative and market-oriented products.

The ₹50,000 prize is therefore not merely a reward; it is a source of encouragement and motivation for the wider handloom community of the Northeast. Such recognition can inspire more indigenous weavers, artisans and young designers to participate in national platforms, experiment with innovative designs and confidently take their traditional products to new markets.

The achievement is also an important reminder that India’s handloom strength lies in its diversity—from the weaving traditions of Manipur and the Northeast to clusters across the country. By connecting traditional skills with contemporary design, technology and market opportunities, the handloom sector can create new avenues for livelihood, entrepreneurship and cultural preservation.

The National Handloom Designers’ Conclave 2026 thus celebrated much more than design. It celebrated the people, traditions, creativity and indigenous knowledge that continue to weave India’s handloom legacy into a vibrant, innovative and globally relevant future.

The success of Manipur is a proud moment for the entire North East—and an inspiration to weave tradition, innovation and opportunity into the future of Indian handlooms.
