SIDAC gets Centre of Excellence status
SIDAC is the first state-run institute in the country to impart non-technical training, sources said.
SIDAC is a state government sponsored organisation and it was established in 2004. It has been functioning as an autonomous agency for the development of handicrafts sector in Odisha.
The organisation is managed through a governing body headed by Commissioner-cum-Secretary to Handlooms, Textiles and Handicrafts (HTH) department.
The institute is imparting skill training in handicrafts. It has developed syllabi for the craft courses and standardised the same by implementing the training programmes for more than 10 years, sources added.
With the integration of state-of-art handicrafts and handloom museum ‘Kalabhoomi’, SIDAC has turned out to be a favoured place for the students from across the country for research activities in the traditional skills as well as related subjects.
