देश की दूसरी कलाओं की तरह जो सालों से घटती रहीं और गायब हो गईं, वाराणसी उत्तर प्रदेश की गुलाबी मीनाकारी भी धीरे-धीरे समाप्त हो रही थी। लेकिन, जीआई टैग और सरकार के प्रोत्साहन ने इसे बढ़ावा दिया है। कई महिलाएं इस कला से अपनी रोजी रोटी कमा रही हैं क्योंकि उन्हें इस कला में प्रशिक्षित किया जा रहा है।

Like a host of other art forms in the country that have dwindled and disappeared over the years, the Gulabi Meenakari art form in Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh, was also petering out. But, a GI tag, and encouragement from the government in promoting it, has given it a shot in the arm. Many women are earning a livelihood as they are being trained in it.

The Kalbelia community has its own traditional craft in which the gudari work or quilting is done on recycled pieces of fabric using vibrant coloured threads like acrylic wool yarns, silk and mirrors. The Kalbelia Craft Revival Project is trying to revive this art and support the livelihoods of its artists who are forced to work as daily wage labourers.

Ali Mohammad Najar from Budgam, Kashmir, is painfully aware that he is perhaps one of the last custodians of the craft of wooden utensils, which were once integral to every Kashmiri kitchen. The craftsman now works as a labourer and repairs wooden roofs to make ends meet.
