Foreign training for Sindh potters
Tuesday, 01 Dec, 2009 APROPOS of various advertisements in newspapers, it is commendable that the Sindh government has launched a major initiative for youth development, the ‘Benazir Bhutto Shaheed Youth Development Programme’.
Under this programme, the government should also start foreign training schemes for artisans of Sindh.
For the beginning, I would like to suggest that potters of Sindh should be given a chance to visit the main district of Great Britain where they can improve their artistic abilities.
Well-known porcelain and china factories are in Stoke-on-Trent, a region that has supplied Britain with its finest china since the 17th century.
To meet the challenges of the local and international job market, the government of should offer skill development opportunities to the unemployed youth of potters’ families in the province.
During the training, the World Sindhi Congress can pay a handsome amount as stipend which will help the trainees to maintain their daily lives during their stay in the UK.
Therefore, I request the World Sindhi Congress to show interest in the larger interest of potters in Sindh.
Such training will help curb poverty and improve socio-economic conditions of the common potter in the province.
