Setting up of Design Studio

The Institute played a pivotal role in the introduction of Design Software for the creation of carpet designs which has eased design work enormously as it used to take months together for a group of persons comprising Naqash (Designer), Taleem Writer, and a Taleem Copyist to make carpet design of standard size and transfer the design drafted on graph paper into the coded pattern known as taleem in the local language.

Design Studio equipped with the latest digital equipments, including few reputed Design Softwares, has been established in the Institute.

1500 carpet and 300 Kani Shawl designs have been developed in digital form with the application of different design softwares.

Creation of a Design Bank

With a view to preserve old/traditional carpet designs, which are available in the form of manually written taleem papers (coded pattern), the Institute has created a Design Bank in the digital format for the carpet craft.

The digitization of Taleem papers of more than 400 old/ traditional carpet designs, which were available in manually written taleem papers, has been done till date
