KHAMIR is making an impact. KHAMIR- Craft Resource Centre facilitates artisans' access to the services they need to revitalize and reposition the craft industry.

KHAMIR's Craft Focal Points identify, address, and coordinate the prioritized needs of Kachchh's handloom weaving, ajrakh block printing, leather craft, lac turned wood, metal bell, pottery, and silver jewellery craft sectors. Its Artisan Service Centres complement the Craft Focal Points by providing artisan credit, design facilitation, documentation, trade facilitation, and value added services that include a natural dyeing facility, textile quality laboratory, raw material depot, and a tailoring unit.
