Council Of Handicrafts Development Corporations

Our office is the Council Of Handicrafts Development Corporations, and we are located within the Office of the Development Commissioner for Handicrafts. You can find us at West Block No. 7 in R.K. Puram. It’s a government-style building, so it has that very specific look and feel. Lots of long corridors and heavy wooden desks that have probably been here since the place was built. We spend our days dealing with paperwork and coordinating with different craft groups from all over the country. It’s not the most exciting place to look at, but there’s a lot of important stuff happening behind these doors. R.K. Puram is a well-known area, so it’s easy for people to find us once they get to the right block. The atmosphere is usually quite serious, with people coming in and out for meetings or to submit documents. We’ve got stacks of files everywhere and the phones ring pretty much non-stop. It’s a bit of a maze in West Block 7 if you aren't used to it. We don't really do any self-promotion or marketing. We are just here to do the job we were set up to do. It’s a lot of administrative work, but it’s what keeps things moving for the artisans we work with. We've been in this location for a long time, and the routine hasn't changed much over the years. We just keep processing the work as it comes in.
