HIGH POTENTIAL FOR EMPLOYMENT
India is one of the world’s leading suppliers of crafts. Indian handicrafts industry is majorly a labor intensive cottage industry & it is localized, being scattered all over the country in rural and urban areas. Numerous craftsmen are engaged in part-time work.
The sector provides employment to over six million artisans that have included a large number of women and people belonging to the weaker sections of the society. The industry is a source of employment for a wide gamut of craft persons in rural & semi urban areas. The Industry generates substantial foreign exchange by exporting of its products across the world, while sustaining its cultural heritage. Handicrafts have tremendous promise, as they hold the key for maintaining not only the current collection of millions of artisans distributed over length and breadth of the world, but also for the increasingly large number of new entrants in the crafts sector. Presently, handicrafts contribute significantly to employment creation and exports.
CONTRIBUTION TO INDIAN ECONOMY
The Handicrafts Industry plays a major & important role in the country’s economy. The Handicraft sector has, however, suffered due to its being unorganized, with the additional constraints of lack of employment, low resources, and weak access to emerging technology, absence of business knowledge, and a weak institutional structure. In spite of these limitations, sector has seen a strong growth of 3 percent annually.
Handicraft Industry is economically significant from the point of low capital spending. The Industry has a high ratio of value added products, and high potential for export and foreign exchange earnings for the country.
DEVELOPMENT OF HANDICRAFT INDUSTRY
The handicraft industry in India has a history from several centuries. The industry has suffered during the British rule. Since attaining democracy, The Government started to take action to revitalize the handicraft Industry. It set up all India organizations for the development of the industry.
