Dastkar Ranthambore

22-Feb-2022

Overview : 

Dastkar Ranthambore is an initiation developed to rehabilitate the people who were forced to relocate during the establishment of the Ranthambore National Park. This non-profit organisation assists these communities in generating income by reviving local art and crafts such as pottery, leather artefacts, tie-dye, block-printing, patchwork, and other similar crafts, as well as providing necessary training and assisting them in reaching the international market. Colorful handicrafts, toys, trendy accessories such as scarves, kurtas, pouches, bags, and home furnishings like as bedsheets, table linen, pillows, and quilts can all be found at Dastkar Ranthambore.

Artisans who specialise in the unique use of patchwork, block printing, and repurposed cloth incorporate elaborate patterns based on natural components to raise awareness of endangered species in the region. As a nod to the Ranthambore Tiger Reserve's importance, special attention is made to make tiger motifs visible. A freshly inaugurated wastewater treatment facility and solar power producing system can also be seen, both of which demonstrate a stride toward sustainable resource management while boosting local expertise and active participation in the process.
