CONDITION IS NOT IDEAL. IN URBAN AREAS, SPACE AT HOUSEHOLD SCALE IS FELT INADEQUATE TO
EXPAND PRODUCT

 HANDICRAFT INDUSTRY’S PROBLEMS

PRODUCTIVITY, HIGH COST OF PRODUCTION, INCONSISTENT QUALITY AND INADEQUATE VOLUME
OF PRODUCTION. EACH PRODUCT HAS THEIR OWN SPECIFIC PROBLEMS TOO. ABSENCE OF PROPER
INFRASTRUCTURE HAS BEEN MAJOR PROBLEM IN THE AREAS OF PRODUCTION, PROCESSING AND
MARKETING OF HANDICRAFT GOODS.

HANDICRAFT SECTOR CONTRIBUTES AROUND 9% IN THE TOTAL EMPLOYMENT OF THE COUNTRY.

MOREOVER, IT HAS BEEN A SOLID BASE FOR SELF EMPLOYMENT
