The Telangana government is planning a big Statewide socio-economic survey. This survey is great news for potters like Pochampally Komuraiah. He feels a little hope because it could help artisans who depend on pottery. Pottery is important in our daily lives, even if we don’t notice it much.
For many people, pottery can be a source of income and creativity. It helps them express themselves and support their families. The survey may bring more attention to the art of pottery and help potters earn better money.
It is exciting to think about how this survey could change things for artists in Telangana. Knowing that the government cares about their work can make a big difference in their lives. Potters will be waiting to see the results and hoping for more support in the future.
About Telangana Kula Ganana Survey Form
Pochampally Komuraiah is a potter from Bhupathipur village in Telangana’s Peddapalli district. He is 65 years old and still makes beautiful clay pots. Even though many people loved to buy his pots, he is worried because fewer customers are coming to buy them now. A long time ago, his village was famous for pottery, and 80 families used to make pots here. But now, only two potters, including Komuraiah, remain. They are trying to keep the pottery tradition alive even though big cities and rapid urbanization are making it tough.
The art of pottery is special. Each pot has a story and shows the hard work of craftsmen. For many years, the art of making pots has been passed down from generation to generation. Potters like Komuraiah use their hands to shape the clay into lovely pots, but the numbers are going down. People in the village are moving to cities for better jobs, leaving behind their rich culture and craft.
Komuraiah’s work is not just a job; it is his passion and a part of his life. He hopes that one day, more people will appreciate and buy handcrafted pots. With love for their craft, Komuraiah and the remaining potters are fighting to keep this wonderful art alive.
If you want to support local artisans like Komuraiah, consider buying handmade pottery. It not only helps them earn a living but also keeps alive the history and culture of pottery in India.
