The Howrah Municipal Corporation (HMC) has said that it plans to set up a Rakhi Hub in Howrah. The hub is targeted to help out the 20,000-odd artisans who make Rakhis for a living. Howrah, which houses most artisans of the rakhi making community has rakhi making as one of the major cottage industries of the area and generates an annual turnover of approximately Rs 30 crore. The industry being largely scattered and unorganised is also interrupted by a lot of middle men from the closest business hub of Burrabazar who end up exploiting the artisans. Hence this Rakhi Hub would be set up where they would be allocated space for the weekly Mangalahat - said a senior TMCP party member. Mangalahat is a weekly market that takes place every Tuesday in Howrah and is one of the biggest market places in the area. The hub will not just provide space for the artisans but suppliers too would be given space so that the artisans do not have to depend on middlemen and can buy raw materials directly from these suppliers. The Trade Development Zone also plans to introduce training facilities at the hub where artisans would be given technical training. Representatives of the body will go door to door and identify the rakhi artisans who deserve a place at the hub. They will be trained to make not only the usual decorum of Rakhis but also shall be trained to make other items associated with the festival of Raksha Bandhan such as Rakhi Thali.
This initiative will greatly help the artisans and will become a source of steady income for the poor and needy of that area. It will also help the vendors selling Rakhi to generate more Rakhis and as a result the demand and supply of the Rakhi market is surely going to increase. As a result the artisans would be benefitted. You can send similar rakhi and rakhi gifts to India when the time comes before raksha bandhan.
