Book Description
Preface

The National Policy on Education (1986) envisages that the implementation of a systematic and well-planned vocational education programme is crucial to the proposed educational reorganization. Keeping this in view, a variety of vocational programmes and courses have been introduced under the centrally sponsored scheme at the lower secondary, higher secondary and college levels.

The paucity of appropriate instructional materials has been felt as one of the major constraints in the implementation of the vocational education programme at the lower secondary stage. The erstwhile Department of Vocational Education of the National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT), which has now become Pandit Sunderlal Sharma Central Institute of Vocational Education (PSSCIVE), has been making earnest efforts in developing instructional materials on various subjects to fill the gap between the requirement and supply of books.

The present manual on Tie and Dye has been developed by the Institute for pre-vocational courses. It also forms a part of Handicraft and other related vocational courses being offered in a number of states of the country. It contains activity units to be performed by pupils, with simple steps to follow, precautions to be taken and data to be obtained and processed. It is hoped that the students will find it useful.

The manual has been developed by a group of experts in a workshop held at the PSSCIVE. I am grateful to them for their invaluable contributions in the development of the manual, I appreciate the efforts put in by Dr Nalini Srivastava as Project Coordinator of the Working Group Meeting and editing the material in the present form.

Suggestions for improvement of the manual are welcome.

Foreword

The programme of vocationalization of higher and lower secondary education has been accepted by the country as it holds great promise for linking education with the productivity and economic development of the country. Pandit Sunderlal Sharma Central Institute of Vocational Education (PSSCIVE) has taken up an innovative project of development of curricula and instructional materials for various vocational and pre-vocational courses on the advice of the Joint Council of Vocational Education.

The present title Tie and Dye is a commendable work done by the Institute in meeting the requirements of instructional materials for the students of pre-vocational courses. It has been developed by subject experts and their contributions have been duly acknowledged.

I hope the students and teachers will find the manual useful.

Introduction

Tie and dye is an ancient method of making patterns on cloth. It is also a resist technique like batik. The main difference lies in the method used to resist. In batik wax is used as a resist agent while in tie and dye the cloth is tied or knotted before dyeing. The part which is tied will retain the original colour of the cloth. Tie and dye is a craft which has been practised in many parts of the world. The first records of this art date back to A.D. sixth century when it was popular in East India, China, Japan and Indonesia. Some evidences of this art are also seen in South America and Africa.

European countries imported this art at a very late stage. In India this art is more prevalent in Rajasthan and Gujarat. In Rajasthan especially tie and dye work is a household art in which men, women, young and old are involved. It is a source of income for many families.

Tie and dye was first used to colour the pagdi (turban) but it is now used on sarees, blouse, dress material and household articles such as table- cloths, bed covers, curtains, etc. It has an important place in Indian handicarfts and has a lot of export potential also.

The Importance of Tie and Dye

Tie and dye is an art in which a person can create beautiful designs with minimum expenditure and hardly any tools. A little bit of imagination in tying cloth in the right places create beautiful designs.

In Rajasthan it has become a household industry. People especially women can work in their homes and earn a decent income. Most of its materials are available in the households. One does not have to buy expensive tools for it. It is a business which can be established with limited investment and can be an effective way of overcoming the unemployment problem.

Tie-dye is a part of the curriculum of several private schools and several hobby centres also teacl. this art to people who want to use their leisure time in a productive and creative manner.
