Kantha for the Bengali folks means embroidered qulit. Kantha is said to be 'Dorukha' meaning turning the worn out and old textiles and fabrics to things of beauty. It is the way the stitch is used, in different arrangements, that forms the complex vocabulary of Kantha.
A Kantha is often referred to as a rural woman's diary as it reflects the rural woman's personal account of her life's events and happenings.
Kantha embroidery has led to socio-economic empowerment of thousands of women of Birbhum. Department of Micro, Small & Medium Enterprises & Textiles (MSME&T), Goverment of West Bengal in partnership with UNESCO, is developing a Rural Craft Hub at Nanoor.
Simple run stitches at the hands of skill artists create a magical artwork called as 'Kantha Embroidery'. Kantha making is a 'women's art'. It was the bengali housewife who helped the art to evolve.
The origin of the Kantha craft traces its history to a period not less than a thousand years. since then the tradition has come a long way today when the artistic brilliance of the women artists have found expressions in lifestyle products like saree, dress materials, bed and cushion covers etc. Motifs of nature including animals, birds and flowers are extensively stitched and the art work varies from intricate and heavy to light and simple designs.
There is a large concentration of the women doing Kantha embrodiery in Nanoor block of Birbhum, West Bengal. Around 2000 women of this area are engaged in doing katha embrodiery on different products. About 600 kantha artists are included in the Rural Craft Hub.

Photo Caption: I have captured this frame while visiting a tribal village of Purulia,West Bengal.The visually impaired woman and the parrot ,both appeared to me as one single existence. There is no need to articulate their differences,as one belongs to Birds and the other ,to the Mammals.But the warmth they share is unparallel,the bond they feel is inseparable.They appear in the frame as the doppelgangers of each other,they appear as the "self" and the "other".

"Sri Binod Bihari Chowdhury may be a man of small stature, but he is one of immense ambition. Even at the age of 99, nothing tires him out. He has fought against injustice and oppression throughout his entire life. The 10th of January 2009, he stepped on the 99th year of his life. Amongst numerous revolutionaries of Bangladesh of his time, he is the only one still alive and still thriving. Most have passed away naturally or met with fatal ends in the fight against injustice."

WOODEN DOLLS OF NATUNGRAM
Homemade ethnic character dolls are the main characteristic feature of NATUNGRAM village of BARDWAN district, West Bengal. The nearest Railway stations from the village are Agradeep and Katwa (1.4-1.5 km).
The dolls are carved in wood and decoratively painted by a group of rural craft persons, known as "SUTRADHARS" ( meaning 'narrator' or 'story teller'), because they make characters from ancient folklores and mythology and tell stories through their dolls.
The owl, with its unique design and colours, is the brand product of the village. On the white background of the owl is painted with the distinctive colours of red, green, yellow and black colours lines. Beside the Owl Krishna-Radha, King- Queen, Durga dolls are made in traditional way.
The dolls are craved from one single piece of wood. A big piece of cylindrical woood is cut off in every direction according to the size, shape and figure requirement. Then to give it a final shape the structure is chiseled out. The traditional design based on culture and mythology, the richness of ideas, the brilliant combination of pure and simplicity and glamour combined with the master craftmanship of the craft artists, resulting an amazing art work. Now a days some of the wodden dolls are barnished to give them a great finishing touch for making them useful in interior decoration.
Around 60 families living in the Natungram village are involved in the Doll making. In this family craft business both men and women have key role. The doll makers are organized as a collective, 'Natungram Kastho Khodai Hastashilpa Samity'.

The International Symposium on Compound Semiconductors (ISCS) has awarded its 2016 Young Scientist Award to Srabanti Chowdhury, an associate professor in UC Davis Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE). Among the department’s newest faculty members, Chowdhury previously held an assistant professor position at Arizona State University’s School of Electrical, Computer and Energy Engineering.
Chowdhury earned her master’s degree (2008) and doctorate (2010) in electrical engineering at UC Santa Barbara. As part of her PhD work, she developed gallium nitride (GaN)-based vertical devices for power conversion, and demonstrated the first vertical GaN high voltage power-switching device — a current aperture vertical electron transistor (CAVET) — with a record-high breakdown electric field. In 2015 she received a National Science Foundation CAREER Award, an Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR) Young Investigator Program (YIP) Award, and a Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Young Faculty Award. Another one of her projects involves collaboration with PowerAmerica, a U.S. Department of Energy organization based at North Carolina State University with the goal of enhanced energy efficiency by making wide bandgap (WBG) semiconductor technologies cost-competitive with the currently used silicon-based power electronics.

Kantha for the Bengali folks means embroidered qulit. Kantha is said to be 'Dorukha' meaning turning the worn out and old textiles and fabrics to things of beauty. It is the way the stitch is used, in different arrangements, that forms the complex vocabulary of Kantha.
A Kantha is often referred to as a rural woman's diary as it reflects the rural woman's personal account of her life's events and happenings.
Kantha embroidery has led to socio-economic empowerment of thousands of women of Birbhum. Department of Micro, Small & Medium Enterprises & Textiles (MSME&T), Goverment of West Bengal in partnership with UNESCO, is developing a Rural Craft Hub at Nanoor.
Simple run stitches at the hands of skill artists create a magical artwork called as 'Kantha Embroidery'. Kantha making is a 'women's art'. It was the bengali housewife who helped the art to evolve.
The origin of the Kantha craft traces its history to a period not less than a thousand years. since then the tradition has come a long way today when the artistic brilliance of the women artists have found expressions in lifestyle products like saree, dress materials, bed and cushion covers etc. Motifs of nature including animals, birds and flowers are extensively stitched and the art work varies from intricate and heavy to light and simple designs.
There is a large concentration of the women doing Kantha embrodiery in Nanoor block of Birbhum, West Bengal. Around 2000 women of this area are engaged in doing katha embrodiery on different products. About 600 kantha artists are included in the Rural Craft Hub.
