This initiative was designed to transform the villages of Abbas Nagar, BC 33, and Dera Bukka into thriving “Model Craft Villages” within the Bahawalpur District. Beyond just identifying heritage sites, the project established a direct link between traditional artisans and modern-day markets. A significant focus was placed on reviving indigenous techniques such as Chunri-making and handloom weaving. Moreover, the project championed the “Sal” construction method—a traditional mud and thatch-roofing technique. By documenting and promoting this climate-resilient architecture, the project proved that traditional housing is not only cost-effective but also provides a sustainable solution to the extreme heat of Southern Punjab.
