Not everyone has a traditional skill to pursue but everyone needs work. Thus CRC initiated groups of people in new crafts. Hand-stitched stuffed toys, animals, decorative hangings and such others became hits in the global market.
- Bengal Crafts, Bandipur, specializes in stuffed toys
- Swikriti, in Howrah, produces toys and crotchet work.
- Ashirwad, functioning from the CRC headquarters, excels in Christ
mas decorations.
The groups are experts in stitched, pasted and crochet products that are converted into interesting objets d’art, especially popular as decorative items.
