Strength of Indian Artisans & female Artisans !! 

We are working aggressively to support, promote & empower women Artisans who play key role to spread Indian culture and Art & handicrafts.

The industry employs nearly 7 million people directly and indirectly, which comprises a large number of women and people from the weaker sections of society. Therefore, the handicrafts that they make, the textiles they weave and the pottery wheel that they spin has become vital for their livelihood. The artisanal industry is the second-largest rural income provider after the agricultural industry with the artisanal and handicraft industry being a ₹24,300-crore industry and contributing nearly ₹10,000 crores annually in export earnings, according to a report in 2018. These artisans are spread across different parts of the country.

The rural artisans comprise art and handicraft makers, weavers, potters, metalware makers, sculptors and many more. They are the backbone of the rural industry in India and provide employment to the rural population. Mostly these rural artisans adopt their forefather’s vocations and play an important role in carrying forward and upholding their rich cultural life. These rural artisans have inherited their skills from their ancestors, it can be described as a creation symbolising the profound desire and reverence to the art and tradition that the families have been following for generations together.

Within India, artisans can be found everywhere, spanning from the northernmost part to the southernmost parts of India. For instance, we have artisans making wooden toys in the town of Channapatna called Channapatna toys, and in different cities of Rajasthan, we find weavers pursuing different types of block printing on the fabric, the state of Uttar Pradesh is known for its famous Banarasi sarees. Thus, artisans are not limited to a particular region and every region has its own special handicraft and artefact.
