The handicraft sector in India has witnessed a growth of 13.15 per cent in 2016-17 compared to the previous year.

EPCH supports the education of children of artisans through open schools which includes tuition fees and other study material. Seventy-five per cent of the entire expenditure will be borne by EPCH and 25 per cent by member exporters sponsoring the study of the children.

EPCH has a design register scheme under which member exporters can register their design without any hassle. EPCH design services are expected to augment the exports of handicrafts from the country and ultimately increase employment opportunities for artisans.

EPCH is providing full support through its integrated program of development of handicrafts and handloom of the north east which includes design, market and skill development.

A initiative is being taken for foreign direct investment in the handicrafts sector and joint venture opportunities for buyers and sellers i.e. both exporters and importers. Over 100 stakeholders have shown keen interest in the sector. A very large amount of investment from the US and Europe is already taking place in the handicrafts sector in China, South Korea, and Vietnam, which are competitors of India. This initiative will give opportunities to overseas buyers to bring technical knowhow, investment and their marketing network to form joint ventures for promoting Indian handicrafts in the world market. This is expected to give exports of handicrafts a new dimension.
