Vision

Revitalizing the socioeconomic sector by redefining KSHDC for Sirsi
Policies
• Planting two trees in exchange for the cutting of one tree for carving.
• The location is adjacent to a slum, therefore if we reconstruct the KSHDC, the development will also occur in the slum region.
• Since only one occupation won't create any revenue, we can provide multiple occupations.
Context
The major crafts are sandalwood carvings, rosewood inlay, and other wood carvings which are also seen in Sirsi and there are skilled craftsmen who craft idols and other wooden crafts. However, the area's traditional handicrafts essence is eroding.
Many craftsmen stay near the craft complex for many years.
Karnataka is famous for its exquisitely carved figurines with intricate details. The soft aromatic wood can be delicately carved with ease to create elegant masterpieces.
Why Redevelopment?
• There isn't a suitable workspace or shelter where the artist could work all day.
• It might be a more recognizable and established location.
