Ovesh says
“I have only one thing to say: through this course I came to
know my traditional art.”
Ovesh is the youngest student of the Men’s class at KRV. He belongs to a traditional block printer family of Dhamadka, who
shifted to Ajarakhpur village after the earthquake of 2001. Ovesh completed 10th standard. Due to family reasons, he couldn’t
continue his studies and joined his traditional occupation with his father Musabhai one year ago. He started with printing cloth and
now is gaining expertise in natural dyeing.
Ovesh feels that he is getting the inputs of Kala Raksha Vidhyalaya at the right time. What he learns at KRV will help him to build a
strong foundation. “I have only one thing to say: through this course I came to know my traditional art.”
