I felt, it was Downs syndrome but tests had to be done. He wasnt taken to doctor for check-up because it would cost a lot of money. So we took him to a small hospital and got things going for him", adds Meenal on various interactions that she had during her pandemic visits to various villages around Dhenkanal.

"Our approach towards designing a product has changed. We now use one idea of design and create about 10 different product, each very different from the other. This has happened because of the exposure we got while learning the basics of colour, design and themes at Somaiya Kala Vidya" shared all the artisans unanimously.

All five of these artisans have earned accolades for their designs and work. What keeps them going is their passioon to create something new and challenging every single time.

In the current times when the riding slogan is “Vocal for Local”, we as consumers need to educate ourselves on the back-story of making of each craft to appreciate the skill, time and talent. Only then, will we be able to truly appreciate the price and value of the product.
