JK: QR code based mechanism for certification, labeling of handmade carpets launched
Jammu/IBNS: Lieutenant Governor (LG) Manoj Sinha Thursday launched QR code based mechanism, which is first of its kind in the country, for certification and labeling of handmade carpets in Jammu and Kashmir.
With the QR-based application, customers can check & verify authenticity and other requisite details of carpets produced in Jammu Kashmir.
“J&K Handicrafts is a repository of India's creative traditions that has served as a cultural expression for centuries. This creative tradition is strikingly visible in handmade carpets with intricate designs & subtle shades,” Manoj Sinha said.
With the help of modern technology, the government will be able to standardize the uniqueness of handmade carpets & boost exports of J&K's carpet industry in the international market, he added.
On the occasion, the Lt Governor also felicitated the union territory's awardees of Handicrafts & Handloom.
“I truly admire the painstaking work of all the craftsmen and carpet weavers. Government is providing training & financial support to strengthen the priceless artistic and cultural heritage of J&K”, the LG said.
