Bagh prints were actually started by Ismail SulemanKhatri who is the first master-printer of the village and has been printing since 1962. The sons of this national awardee and several others in the area are carrying the tradition forward. There are fifteen printing units in Bagh that provide employment to about five thousand people - local as well as tribal. Some of these workshops supply their products to only ‘sarkaari’ setups (government emporia, organizations etc.) while the others export.Nearly sixty percent of the population of Bagh is engaged in printing. Mr. Bunty who sells his products under the label ‘Madhukar Bagh prints’ runs the workshop documented here.
