Shunya Batik

Shunya’ is basically an organization dealing with handicraft products
(including manufacturing, marketing and selling). In our workshop we have been making 
‘Batik’ and ‘Kantha Stitch’ since…….2004. I started to do some work with some unemployed youths.
A new journey has begun. I set out for giving training to SHG(Self help group) on Batik at Santiniketan under the supervision of NIFT. New styles were created. I am lucky to work with the designers of Kolkata & Mumbai.
We started there 2nd workshop in Bolpur with helpless women. Our artisen like Hanufa Bibi, Budin Tudu, Parbati Tudu, Shyamali, Mamoni, Basanti had joined them gradually.
Now we are making some different batik designs with some different colour combinations which is never used before in batik in India. We want to make some unique creation always. A Little-bit smile returned to the faces of some of our artisens. Their children started to go to school. Peace & economic stability of those families returned a little.
