PREFACE
Handicrafts constitute an important segment of the de-centralized/unorganized sector of our

economy. It is mainly a rural based sector which has its reach in backward and in-accessible
areas. Originally, handicraft started as a part time activity in the rural areas, however it has now
transformed into a flourishing economic activity due to significant market demand over the
years. Handicrafts have big potential as they hold the key for sustaining not only the existing set
of millions of artisans, but also for increasingly large number of new entrants in the crafts
activity. Presently, handicraft sector is contributing substantially towards employment
generation and exports but this sector has suffered due to its unorganized nature along with
additional constraints like lack of education of artisans, and poor exposure to new technologies,
absence of market intelligence competition from machine made products, lack of access to
credit & poor institutional framework.
To promote Handicrafts and address the problems and challenges being faced by the sector, the
Office of the Development Commissioner [Handicrafts] under the Ministry of Textiles is
undertaking various developmental activities under the umbrella scheme titled “National
Handicrafts Development Programme” [NHDP] such as enrolment of artisans, formation of
artisans into SHGs/Federations/Societies imparting training to them, conducting workshops to
develop new designs, helping them in domestic marketing, promoting exports, R&D activities,
creating common infrastructure, providing credit facilities and taking welfare measures for
artisans etc. The NHDP scheme was formulated during 12th Plan period and it is being
continued up to March 2020 with some modifications.
The NHDP scheme has following components:

1. Ambedkar Haatshilp Vikas Yojana (AHVY)
2. Design and Technology Up-Gradation
3. Human Resource Development
4. Infrastructure and Technology Support
5. Marketing Support And Services
6. Research and Development
7. Direct Benefit to Artisans
Further to scale up the infrastructural and production chain with modernization of machinery
and technology at handicrafts clusters a Mega Clusters approach has been adopted. To cater to
the needs of Handicrafts Mega Clusters, another scheme titled “Comprehensive Handicrafts
Cluster Development Scheme" (CHCDS) is being implemented. Under this scheme,
Handicrafts Mega clusters are being established at places where there is large concentration of
craft and artisans. Nine Mega Clusters have been established at Narsapur (Andhra Pradesh),
Moradabad (Uttar Pradesh), Mirzapur-Bhadohi (Uttar Pradesh), Srinagar (Jammu & Kashmir),
5
Jodhpur (Rajasthan), Bareilly (Uttar Pradesh), Lucknow (Uttar Pradesh), Kutch (Gujarat) and
Jammu & Kashmir. Ten IDPH special projects have been established at Uttarakhand, Jharkhand,
Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Madhya Pradesh, Andhra Pradesh, Varanasi, Karnataka, Telangana and
Bihar.
The above two schemes namely NHDP and CHCDS are being implemented by office of
Development Commissioner (Handicrafts) through its 6 Regional Offices and 62 Field offices
units [Handicraft Service Centres] across the country in coordination with State
Governments/State Handicrafts Development Corporations, Handicrafts Council, NGOs and
other institutions involved in handicraft sector.
To ensure that schemes are implemented only through genuine agencies in a transparent manner
it has been made compulsory that NGOs register them self with Nitti Aayog and proposals are
submitted in the office through office online web portal.
It has also been ensured that the benefits of the handicrafts schemes being implemented by
office of Development Commissioner (Handicrafts) are provided to genuine artisans, it has been
made mandatory that I card is issued to each genuine artisan under “Pahchan' programme and
monitoring benefits of schemes are transferred to the artisans through “DBT” portal.
Initiatives have been taken to register potential handicrafts goods and its producers under
Geographical Indication as per the guidelines of Geographical Indication of Goods
(Registration & Protection) at 1999 so that artisans producing such goods take full benefit of
their products and prevent its use by a third party whose product does not conform the
applicable standards. The initiative aims to bring prosperity among the artisans producing such
handicrafts goods and boost up its exports. In this context, G.I. helpline has been established in
all Handicraft Service Centres.
Handicrafts Helpline No 18002084800 (Toll Free) has been launched to redress the
grievances of artisans and public at large. The services are available on 7 days a week from
10.00AM to 6.00 PM in 7 Languages viz. Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Bangla, Assamese, Kannada
and English.
I am confident that this compendium will serve as ready reckoner for the artisans,
stakeholders and implementing agencies.

I AMBEDKAR HASTSHILP VIKAS YOJNA (AHVY)
(a) Community empowerment for mobilization of artisans into self-help

groups (SHGs)/Societies
Objective and methodology
• Excel Sheet format containing artisans’ details such as identity card No., Photographs, Aadhar
no., EPIC No., bank Account No. with bank name.
• Covering each artisan under RSBY and AABY Scheme,
Appointment of cluster Manager as per qualification and experience, Mobilization of the beneficiaries
shall be undertaken in the clusters which need to be taken up for development. The Geographical
identity of such clusters should be clearly mentioned and limited to a village in Rural Areas or a ward in
the Municipal areas. In special cases a cluster may contain adjoining villages within a span or diameter
of three kilometres. This activity shall include mobilizing the artisans into SHGs, thrift and credit,
training of SHGs on various aspects of forming and running the community business enterprise. With
introduction of economic reforms through liberalization, privatization and globalization, India has
entered into a new era of economic development and therefore, Community Empowerment programme
for handicrafts sector/ cooperative/ SHGs is a must to empower the artisans by making them active
entrepreneurs-cum-primary stake holders of development and bringing them to a visible platform which
will help enhance their operational efficiency and competitiveness to face the new challenges and make
them viable and self-supporting economic entity. While undertaking mobilization, care should be taken
to leverage upon the SHGs already formed under various programmes being implemented by
Government. Only where it is not feasible to do so, new SHGs, federation etc., should be formed.
Deliverables
• Conduct survey of each artisan in the prescribed format
• Mobilisation of artisans groups/SHG formation with office bearers,

B.COMPERHENSIVE HANDICRAFTS CLUSTER
DEVELOPMENT SCHEME (CHCDS).
Mega cluster approach is a Drive to scale up the infrastructural and production chain at Handicrafts
clusters which have remained unorganized and have not kept pace with the modernization and
development that have been taking place so far. Consequently, there has not been any addition of fresh
impetus of development and optimum realization of output in the handicrafts sector, which is not only
the backbone of long traditional heritage and cultural linkages.
The prospect of this sector lies in infrastructural improvement, modernization of the tools, machinery,
process and product diversification and creating strong brands. Innovative designs as well as technical
know-how, furthered by brand building of the native products hold the key to creating a niche market
for the products manufactured by the clusters. The proposed programme is expected to support the Up
gradation of infrastructural facilities coupled with market linkages and product development &
diversification.
Handicrafts clusters are located in clearly identifiable geographical locations (clusters) that specialize in
specific products, with close linkages and inter dependence amongst the key players in the cluster.
Further, during implementation of the Mega Cluster projects it has been observed that in certain cases
interventions are required to be implemented at various places throughout the country in a particular
craft for generating employment through skill up-gradation and also for increasing the market base of
the craft within the country as well as in the International market. In such cases the mega Cluster
Scheme would be flexible to reach all corners of the country wherever the selected craft exists. The
activities may vary from soft to hard interventions. In short, Mega Clusters can be implemented in a
fixed geographical area as well as different places throughout the country in a particular craft or in a
state where crafts are identified on block/cluster level.
The Mega Clusters will be taken up for development through Handicrafts Mega Cluster Mission
(HMCM) or through Central/State Corporations as and when announced in Union Budget or as per
requirement and as per the DPR prepared for the purpose.
1. OBJECTIVES AND STRATEGY

The objective is to develop these clusters with world-class infrastructure. The guiding principle behind
the design of clusters would be to create world-class infrastructure that caters to the business needs of
the local artisans & SMEs to boost production and export. In brief, the main objective of setting up
these clusters is to assist the artisans & entrepreneurs to set up world-class units with modern
infrastructure, latest technology, and adequate training and HRD inputs, coupled with market linkages
and production diversification. SPV is designed in such a way, which will have Standard Models of
units of SSI and SME with infrastructure that is customized to give a competitive edge and these centres
have greater potential to become globally competitive.
The broad objectives of the proposed program are as follows:
i. To enhance the competitiveness of selected clusters in terms of increased market share and
ensuring increased productivity by higher unit value realization of the products.
230
ii. To ensure effective integration of scattered artisans, building their grass roots enterprises and
linking them to SMEs in the sector to build critical mass for customized interventions and ensure
economies of scale in operations. This will build a supply system that is geared to responding to
large-scale orders, adhering to quality and product standardization, which are pre-requisites of
global markets.
iii. To generate additional livelihood opportunities to the people through specific intervention in
segmental sub sector industry and increase the incomes to the artisans/craftsmen already engaged
in this sector.
iv. To provide requisite support/ linkages in terms of adequate infrastructure, technology, product
diversification, design development, raw material banks, marketing & promotion, social security
and other components that are vital for sustainability of artisans/craftsmen engaged in the
Handicrafts sector.
v. The core elements of the strategy for the proposed program are given below:
vi. Proactive and strong technical and program management assistance for capacity building,
designing of the interventions and their implementation, through a competent professional agency.
2. Funding pattern
Funds to the tune of 2% (max.) of project cost upto a maximum of Rs. 2.00 Lakhs per project shall be
earmarked for establishing baseline data / DPR against which performance can be compared at the end
of the project. The total fund requirement will be as per the DPR. The maximum duration of the project
will be four years. 50% of the approved project cost will be released as advance. Second Installment @
40% of the approved project cost will be released on utilization of 70% of 1st installment. The last 10%
amount will be released as reimbursement on completion of project and submission of utilization report
etc. This funding pattern will also be applicable to Special handicrafts integrated projects.
3. Implementation Methodology & Framework

A project of this nature, which is need based, multi stakeholder driven, holistic and outcome oriented,
would require institutional structure and processes that are capable and conducive to achieving the
objectives of the program. The following will be the methodology and process through which the
project would be implemented: -
i. Undertaking a detailed diagnostic study of the cluster in order to identify the needs, gaps and
also developing base line reference data.
ii. Preparation of a Detailed Project Report (DPR) covering technical, financial, institutional and
implementation aspects, based on the diagnostic study. This DPR would clearly establish the
expected outcomes of each of the interventions, which are measurable.
iii. Validation of the findings of the diagnostic study and the DPR by the key stakeholders of the
cluster including representative associations, federations of the artisans, support institutions,
service providers, State Government and Central Government agencies.
231
iv. Approval of the DPR by PAMC under Ministry of Textiles.
v. Procurement of land, wherever needed for any of the interventions of the DPR, by the SPV
vi. Implementation of the interventions as per the phasing mentioned in the DPR.
vii. Monitoring and evaluation of the implementation of the interventions against the outcomes
defined in the DPR.
viii. Engagement of designer will be provided for Mega Cluster and special project for a period not
more than 3 years. Designer fee would be Rs. 55,000 per month including TA. Designer should
be linked to outcome based para meters in terms of number of new designs introduced and sales
achieved for new designs. The NID and NIFT graduates will be given preference during
selections of designers and the engagement should be through a transparent system.
ix. The state agencies as Implementing Agencies of special project will be eligible for 3%
administrative cost for setting up of project monitoring unit.
4. Project Approval and Monitoring Committee (PAMC)

The Detailed Project Report (DPR) shall be considered and approved by the Project Approval and
Monitoring Committee (PAMC). The PAMC shall accord further approvals only after the
comprehensive DPRs are in place. The implementation of the various projects should also be reviewed
periodically by the PAMC. The composition of the PAMC would be:
Secretary (Textiles) Chairman
Development Commissioner (Handicrafts) Member
Secretary of the Dept. dealing with Handicrafts in the state Member
Representative of IFW Member
District magistrate of the District Member
Additional Development Commissioner/Director (Handicrafts) Member Secretary
5. Deliverables/Advantages of the proposed Clusters

Social:
i. Employment Generation;
ii. Better living standards for the existing artisans.
Economic:
i. Foreign Exchange earnings by export;
ii. Substantial Increase in quality and value added Production;
iii. Increase in the business of small entrepreneurs;
iv. Savings in cost by manufacturers in the cluster due to better infrastructure and Government
induced benefits;
v. Revenue generation to local bodies and State & Central Governments;
vi. Growth of industry in an organized form.
