ABOUT INDIAN HANDICRAFTS
THE HANDICRAFTS OF India represent out rich cultural tradition. They embody our heritage of creativity, aesthetics and craftsmanship. At a more substantial level, the handicraft tradition has sustained generations of people in our country. As a highly decentralized activity, the handicrafts industry is a shining example of using local resources and local initiatives.
Though the ages, our handicrafts have fascinated the world. The beauty of these products and the skills and ingenuity they represent have few parallels anywhere in the world. They have set a benchmark of quality and excellence that is quintessentially Indian. The skill of our craftsmen reflected in our handicrafts became living symbols of our self –reliance and thereby inspired our freedom fighters to demand self rule. Since Independence, the Government of India has made a concerted effort to sustain the craft sector. In the Process, a credible infrastructure of support has been put in place to argument the ability of craftspersons and to face growing challenges confronted by them. In the present era, it is essential for this industry to meet the challenges of globalization through innovation and upgradation of skills. The Government will continue to play a supportive role in this effort.
