The Indian government is planning steps to expand international market opportunities for traditional craftsmen from Kutch, Gujarat.
New Delhi is reportedly preparing measures to help artisans from Kutch, a region in Gujarat famed for its vibrant textiles, embroidery and leatherwork, reach overseas buyers. Officials say the initiative will focus on showcasing the unique heritage of Kutch crafts at international trade platforms and simplifying export procedures for small producers. By opening new channels, the government hopes to generate sustainable income for rural craftsmen and preserve age‑old techniques. The move aligns with broader efforts to promote Indian handicrafts in global markets and strengthen the sector’s contribution to the economy.
