Detailed Description

Indian design has always been indebted to its traditional design sector for identity within as well as outside India. The traditional design sector contributes significantly to the national income & accounts for 15 to 20% of country’s manufacturing workforce. A lack of technological and design upgradation, the changing preferences of consumers and sometimes and sometimes unethical policy level decisions have hit this creative and accomplished sector severely. The internship at URAVU Bamboo Training Centre & URAVU Eco links has helped me to understand traditional design sector and Bamboo as a new scope for sustainable design approach. It helped me to understand the material at depth & inspired me to go very close to nature & eco-friendly design. It was a decent and & happy approach to understand material from the local art & tradition inspired artists in the lush, green Wayand district. Initial motive to work in Bamboo eventually blossomed into understanding the traditions, culture & rich heritage of the place which itself resembles heaven in the God’s Own Country.
