Mera Bali
Bagru is
known for natural dyes and hand block printing. Bagru
is the place of Raiger and Chhipa community. Chhipa community people who are
involved in this printing tradition since 100 years ago and also Raiger
community people are involved in processing and manufacturing of leather and
their products (like boots, mochdi, Rajasthani jhutee and other leather goods).
The Raiger community export raw leather (semi processed) to big leather
companies and also sell in local market (Hatwara,Jaipur). Bagru is also known
for natural dyeing, indigo dyeing and wooden hand block printing over textile
articles.
In
addition to above, Bagru is also internationally acknowledged for the
traditional Pickles (Aachar) manufactured by Jhalani family (Jhalani Food
Products Pvt. Ltd.) since five generations.
This is
the place of Jugal Darbar temple where annual festival organizing by Bagda
community and all surrounding villagers and peoples come to see the Mela. This
is place of peace and unites all communities.
Bagru is
a small village, located at a distance of 32 km from Jaipur, on Jaipur-Ajmer
Road. The village town of Bagru has a popular fort (private property) in heart
of town which is normally open for public on Gangaur Festival. Bagru is most
famous for its typical wooden prints. These prints of Bagru are acclaimed all
over India and are particularly known as Bagru prints. The Prints of Bagru,
unlike other prints, involve a different kind of printing. The unique method
for printing employs wooden block in it. In the process, the desired design is
engraved on the wooden block first and then the carved block is used for
replicating the design in the preferred color on the fabric.
Chippa
Mohalla (printer's quarter) is the area for those, who are interested in
textile printing. One can walk into the quarter, where people are always engrossed
with dyes and blocks. The three-centuries-old tradition of block printing is
kept alive with the efforts of Bagru artisans. Keeping the convention, these
artisans smear the cloth with Fuller's earth got from the riverside and then
dip it in turmeric water to get the habitual cream color background. After
that, they stamp the cloth with beautiful designs using natural dyes of earthly
shades.
Even
today, artisans use traditional vegetable dyes for printing the cloth. Like,
the color blue is made from indigo, greens out of indigo mixed with
pomegranate, red from madder root and yellow from turmeric. Usually Bagru
prints have ethnic floral patterns in natural colors. Bagru prints form the
essential part of the block printing industry of Rajasthan. The village
fabricates some of the bed covers and other materials. Now days this printing
business is under crisis due to water crises and improper care by State
Government where incentives based schemes are not available. It required a
channel market to spread the popularity of handmade bedsheets under cluster
program. There is no specific industrial zone to process the printing and
export. All is depending on Sanganer based big traders and speculators. Even in
entire town there is not a water treatment plant and chemical water is
releasing through municipal councils (Nagar Palika) drainage lines towards the
end of town.

SKILL
Koshik Soni/ XII/ RH was selected as the Student this Week for his talent in playing musical
instruments.
Determination: An
Important Life Skill
During the return journey, after having attended my daughter's
Graduation Ceremony, I pondered over her decision to join a corporate legal
firm for the next two years before pursuing her L.L.M in International
Business. A question constantly troubled me - Will my daughter be able to face
the world?
Luckily, I caught hold of a book by Dr. Anupam Sibal - "Is
Your Child Ready to face the World?" in the school library. I think every
parent and educator must read this book. It is a great aid for us educators in
understanding and helping our students, and inculcating various qualities and
soft skills in them, so that they can face the world with courage and
confidence.
Having been the class teacher of Class X and handling the
pressure of the students' first ever public examination (i.e. Class X Board
Examination), I recall the story of two of my students. One is that of Muskan,
a very confident and promising student from the very beginning, and the other
is that of Chandresh, a shy, simple, village student, who wanted to prove
himself by performing well and securing his future studies.
The challenge was to help students score high grades while
simultaneously equipping them to deal with the pressure of the Board
examination effectively. Muskan, on the one hand, was very confident and was
able to overcome all her difficulties by actively seeking the support of her
family and staff. On the other hand, Chandresh was a very shy and quiet
student, who hesitated in getting his doubts cleared and seeking the help of
the teachers in overcoming the pressure.
One Saturday, in the Life Skills lesson, I decided to assign to
my students various roles to play, so as to increase their determination and
will power and use this activity to discuss ways in which great personalities
like Napoleon used determination to achieve success.
As expected, Muskan gained the determination to set a record by
achieving 10 C.G.P.A. Chandresh, on the other hand, slowly opened up to me and
began discussing his personal and academic problems in various subjects. Other
teachers also helped him in overcoming his difficulties and solving his
personal problems.
The book is a powerful tool in the hands of all parents and
educators looking to make their children competent in facing the world by aiding
development of necessary skills and qualities in them. -Ajay Vijayvargi /Educator
