Sir,
In the age of digital technology in which now business is done online, there should be in delay in adopting the same technology for handicraft goods. This will allow his section of the society to sell their wares to a large section of buyers throughout the world. Otherwise their reach limited to the market in which they have opened their shops or restricted to exhibitions here and there.
In this age of competition and machines, it is quite necessary that the handicraft sector receives the necessary support from the Government and other agencies. Many artisans have already bid goodbye to their inherited profession and shifted to some other trade which provides them a square meal. Those who are still wedded to their trades need all kinds of facilities to enable them move ahead. Otherwise, the handicraft sector will die a slow death. This may then be a great loss to our culture and heritage.
Yours etc….
