The scheme has been initiated on a modest scale,
with 30 children aged 8 to 18. Each child is allocated Rs.5,000
a year to cover schooling expenses and an annual camp. Support
continues for a minimum of three years, at the end of which
the child's performance is evaluated in both academics and craft
skills. CCI intends each child to be mentored by a CCI member.
The mentor closely monitors the child’s progress. Further support
is given to the child who shows the right aptitude. Support
continues till the child finds viable employment. We invite
individuals and organizations like you to help educate a child
for three years. |

One of the first scholars chosen by the Delhi Crafts Council
for their scholarship award in 1986, this exceptional wood carver
(today 42 years old) is one of the few craftspeople who ensures
that the benefits he derives from recognition is shared by others
in the community. In his workshop in his village, he trains
youth in the craft. He has incorporated the training he has
received at CCI’s wood workshop in orders received from other
clients. He advices craftspeople to recognize and take seriously
the opportunities that come their way. In his own words – “To
me the Crafts Council is not just an organization or client.
It has opened to me a larger family and I am happy to be part
of this larger family.” About the scholarship he says, “it has
helped me see that not only should a product be good but one
should also be open to understanding the needs of the buyer.
There is no point in being rigid about what we make.” |
