The famed village of Ajrakhpur in Kutchh, where hundreds of families support themselves on the intricate Ajrakh block printing, are facing an economic crisis due to a crippling water shortage caused by climate change and incorrect afforestation. Block printing uses natural ingredients and untreated water is essential to bring out exact shades from dyes. With rivers drying up and rain becoming scanty, lives of people depending on this business has become tougher.
