Haradhan Karmakar and Mahamaya Karmakar were sent to Small Scale Industries Centre at London for an exhibition of dhokra craft. In a report by the Micro, Small and Medium Industries Development Institute, it says that the degree of excellence of products like, sola craft of Bankapasi and dhokra of Dwariapur is now acceptable to European markets. An organization named NISTADS got involved in developing a new furnace for Dhokra artisans. The clash of modernity and traditions had its own problems. However, the modern furnace has found acceptance at both Dwaraipur and Bikna, some two hours by road, in Bankura district, another place where around 36 families are involved in the dhokra craft. Transport State Highway 14, running from Dubrajpur (in Birbhum district) to Betai (in Nadia district), passes through Dwariapur. References External links Villages in Purba Bardhaman district
