| Agriculture officials converse with farmers in English | | Handloom Deptt glorifies art, forgets artist | | Early Times Report
Jammu, Feb 15: The directorate of Handloom Development is organising Dast-e-Hunner (National Handloom Expo) at Dusserha ground, Gandhi Nagar, Jammu from February 9 to 23. Masterpieces produced by craftsmen have been put at display in the expo.
Shockingly, the people who visit the expo praise the department for putting such delicate and brilliantly made pieces at display. The hands that created them have not been acclaimed.
Dast means hands and hunner means art. The artful hands have been ignored yet again. The results are obvious. The art is now dying a slow but sure death. People are reluctant to waste their time in learning an art that does no fetch them two meals.
The department instead of displaying the art must try to glorify the artist and see how they make a living.
Another advertisement issued by the department of Agriculture talks about the Wheat Rust disease and its symptoms. The advertisement suggests a spray to fight the disease. But the advertisement is in English and the farmers who grow wheat do not understand this alien language.
The advertisement should have been issued in Hindi and Urdu.
To achieve the objective, the department should send experts to the farmers. There is no fun in issuing advertisements meant for farmers in English. |
