The Telegraph | Arup Kumar Dutta | May 14
The Centre is mulling a Rs 120-crore special package to rejuvenate the handicrafts sector in the Northeast.
“There has been no scheme till date in the handicrafts sector in an integrated and holistic manner though the region is rich in this sector. To overcome the lacuna, it is proposed to have an inclusive growth scheme for the development and promotion of handicrafts of the region,” North Eastern Handicrafts and Handlooms Development Corporation Limited managing director Jagdish Borah told The Telegraph.
The Northeast has more than 8.87 lakh artisans employed in the sector with production of around 2.4 lakh units contributing around Rs 500 crore to this sector.
