Foreigners used to throng our workplaces to see our work and buy our products,” he said, adding that the situation changed not for good. “With the inception of armed struggle in Kashmir, tourists stopped to come here. Overnight our trade came under a big jolt,” he said. “Our business dwindled and artisans started switching over to other jobs as the craft was not in a position to give them good returns for their work to feed their families,” he said. As per woodcarvers, several other factors have also hit the woodcarving trade. “Young generation is not showing any interest due to less income, at the same time the state government is not coming up with any scheme that would incentivize woodcarving,” Mehraj ud Din- a woodcarver said. He said the training centres run by Handicraft department have “failed even to train a single woodcarver leave aside reviving this trade.” The artisans alleged that the handicraft department scheme ‘artisan credit card’ is a big trap for poor craftsmen because of high interest rates.
