Our Incredible India has a rich history of handicrafts. Sach mein yeh desh KALAKAARON ka desh hai!
Around 70 Lakh people are employed in the handicraft sector
Even then 7 lakh people are leaving the handicraft sector each year.
History of Bastar Dhokra dates back to more than 4000 years.
All our handicrafts are made using materials derived directly from nature!
60% of people in Channapatna village are employed as artisans!
Handicraft sector employs 40 Lakh women, that’s more than the population of Goa!
Handicraft sector contributes around 4.2 billion USD to the Indian economy.

But then WHY our artisans are leaving this sector?
