Can Collector Hari Chandana Revive Fortune of Nalgonda's Puttapaka Sarees & Metal Crafts?

As Hari Chandana takes charge as Nalgonda Collector, hopes are pinned on her developmental vision to revive the fortune of globally renowned heritage crafts – Pattapaka handloom sarees and the iconic Ithadi metal craft in the district. #GIProducts #IndigenousArts

Pattapaka sarees unique with attractive Gollabama borders and Ithadi art metal craft require extensive skilled craftsmanship passed down generations. However, both GI-tagged art forms face survival challenges today from modernization and lack of market access leading to dwindling demand. #HeritageHandicrafts

This is where Hari Chandana’s proven expertise in uplifting local artisans through skill development and embracing e-commerce can be the game-changer. Her track record of facilitating a dramatic turnaround in the fortunes of rural women weavers of Narayanpet makes her the ideal candidate to revive Nalgonda’s iconic crafts. #ArtisanEmpowerment

In Narayanpet, she facilitated design workshops, provided equipment and raw materials besides opening direct domestic and international market access through her pathbreaking Aarunya e-portal initiative. #DigitalEmpowerment

This helped Narayanpet handloom sarees reach even e-tail platforms like Amazon while exponentially improving livelihoods of thousands of rural artisans. #RuralEntrepreneurship

While Hari Chandana is yet to announce any specific plans for Nalgonda, her exceptional track record and acumen makes her the collector best placed to replicate a similar transformation especially for niche crafts like Pattapaka sarees and Ithadi crafts facing survival challenges today. #CollectorateGoals

Through strategic interventions focussing on design and quality upgrade, skill development, attracting private investments and leveraging e-commerce to boost market linkages, both the GI tagged products can be set on the path of revival while benefiting livelihoods of hundreds of skilled artisans associated with them. #EconomicGrowth

Her development vision embracing technology and modern commerce can ensure the heritage crafts balance scale and economic viability with preservation of the priceless indigenous skills passed down through generations. #SustainableLivelihoods

While a challenging task, if Hari Chandana can facilitate even a fraction of the turnaround she managed for Narayanpet’s rural weavers, it can save the priceless legacy of these iconic Nalgonda heritage crafts besides ushering prosperity for Pattapaka and Ithadi artisans.
