Lesson 27 : Rural Artisans

Major Problem Areas of Rural Artisans

Present scenario: the skill of rural artisans continues to be old and technology is traditional. Their economic status is far from satisfactory, which makes their marketing power also weak at both selling and buying levels. Their education level is low and their linkages with rural developmental institutes are either non-existent or weak. Their shyness, weak communication power, and tendency to remain “small” and “satisfied” are some of their other problems.
