Baluchar had been a hub for the exotic Baluchari saris and silk even in the 17th century.

The WBKVIB plans to take foreign tourists visiting West Bengal to these places and for the purpose it will take the help of the Society for Kindling Handicrafts and Indigenous Art which organises tours.“We have foreigners visiting the conventional tourist destinations in Burdwan and Murshidabad districts. We want them to see how muslin fabric is manufactured. They (Society) will take the foreign tourists to the places chosen for the circuit,” another officer of WBKVIB said. The board is hopeful that the foreign embassies and consulates will help it in its plan.“Foreigners love to sit with the weavers and join hands with them in the preparation of the handmade fine fabric. We feel that if we can provide them the opportunity to watch the production process, chances of them buying the products will go up,” the officer said. WBKVIB has already conducted a pilot project in this connection in Burdwan and Baluchar.“We are very happy with the kind of response we have received at these two places during the pilot project,” Mr Dutta said.
