Mysore will soon have a 2,000 square feet Urban Haath Centre. Being located in the Hebbal industrial area, opposite the Central Institute of Plastic Engineering & Technology (CIPET), the building, now under construction at roof level, is expected to be completed by December for inauguration in January. | |
| The Urban Haath will be a centre for regular display and exhibition of handicrafts and its export. It will help in getting orders and distributing them, government of India's Handicrafts Marketing & Service Extension Centre assistant director S C Devaramani told Business Standard. |
| |
| Mysore is a good hub for exports of handicraft items. It produces attractive items of inlay, sandalwood, terracotta, wood carvings, wooden toys and furniture. |
| |
| The agarbathi exports can be doubled from the present Rs 15 crore within a couple of years. |
| |
| The JSS institution is trying to collaborate with an Australian firm, which has its branch in Bangalore for export of items to that country. |
| |
| In the backdrop of this, the Rs 2 crore centre would fulfill the long-felt need to help the artisans build up their export market, he added. |
