The Federation of
Rajasthan Handicraft Exporters is conceptualized to be
interface between the Handicraft Exporter, the Government and
other related institutions in order, that the industry may grow
and progress in totality.
The economic importance
of the handicraft sector lies in their high employment
potential, low capital investment, high value addition &
high demand in domestic & overseas markets. Jaipur
is one of the most important areas not just in Rajasthan, but
also in the country for the production & subsequent export
of handicrafts. The Indian handicrafts are known for its
ethnicity and elegancy.
It is very
strongly felt that handicraft in Rajasthan could be a sunshine
& key industry in the non – farm sector, specially in view
of the consistent droughts every 2nd or 3rd
year, and would provide large-scale employment & revenue
generation for the rural & socio – economically backward
classes. It is also majorly a non – polluting industry.
