ढाई लाख घंटे तक मिट्टी के बर्तन बनाना

कोल्हापुर जिले के कपाशी गांव में विष्णु कुंभार के परिवार के सदस्य 15 पीढ़ियों से मिट्टी के बर्तन बना रहे हैं। लेकिन उनके दुर्लभ कौशल को शायद ही कभी मान्यता दी जाती है और उन्हें इस महान पुरानी परंपरा को आगे बढ़ाने के लिए राज्य से कोई समर्थन नहीं मिलता है

The education of girl children becomes a problem. The true implementation of the Swaminathan Commission report is what we need right now. The government should not lie when they next come asking for votes.”
