Handicrafts sector means those sectors producing products in hands with lower use of technologies and machines. The Indian handicraft sector is majorly labour intensive part of small scale business. The industry is spread all over the country from east to west and from north to south most of the manufacturing units are located in rural and in small towns. The handicraft statistically forms the second largest source of unorganised sector employment in India. Handicraft sector got boost since the new Economic Philosophy of Inclusive Growth has been initiated as a route to success towards sustainability by the government of India. The concept of inclusive growth says for the firmness of Indian economy all sectors of economy including handicraft must be given equal magnitude and for the inclusive growth both rural and urban sector must be given proper attention. While in India rural economy is the backbone as well as the vital of growth of the economy at all so it must be given most priority
