Nand Kishore Chaudhary built Jaipur Rugs into a runaway success by  working closely with India’s poorest citizens, and by developing an  apprenticeship system around India’s chronic battles with child labor.  How do such difficult pieces fit into India’s social and economic  puzzle?

"India's Rug Saint," written by Cathryn Jakobson Ramin, originally appeared in Craftsmanship Quarterly,  a multimedia online magazine about artisans, innovators, and the  architecture of excellence. You'll find many more stories, videos,  audio recordings, and other resources on our site — all free of charge  and free of advertising.
