Within the last decades Indian carpets and handicrafts have faced tough times. The
up-coming of more independent countries increased the number of suppliers and the
quantities offered on the international markets. At the same time the worldwide
demand stagnated and even reduced, especially because of several economic crises and
trade disputes between economically important nations.
For India this was and is important because of the strong role of these productions for
special regions and for the country's exports. Handicrafts and carpets have a long
tradition. The manufacturers have successfully achieved a positive image and a leading
position in many product lines. This can convincingly be seen in the most visited
international fairs like the Domotex in Hannover / Germany with regard to carpets or
Ambiente in Frankfurt where Indian handicrafts attract many buyers every year.
However, to keep up this position gets more and more difficult. The growing supply
puts prices and profit margins under pressure. Also the groups of buyers their tastes
and their preferences are changing. Carpets e.g. are no longer bought because of their
value, but more as fashion and decoration items - often for a short period only.
Therefore innovations, fashion orientation and up-to-date designs is gaining as much
importance as new production procedures and increasing productivity of workers.
Particularly for safeguarding the use of state-of-the-art production technologies and
economic profitability highly skilled workers are an absolute must. In India this simple
fact has been neglected for a long time. The necessary structures have been established
and emphasis was given to the quality of trainers, controls and certification as well as
to long and intensive enough training periods. It has been realized that skills are not
only for the benefit of the entrepreneurs, but to a major extent for the living conditions
of the workers and their families by creating safe employment.
The Skill Councils are the right approach to overcome many of the difficulties which
have been typical for India during the first decades after independence. Skilled workers
are the basis of a sustainably growing economy. They guarantee smooth and quick
adjustment to changing production conditions and to more innovations and new
products. The carpet and handicraft industry today demonstrate that India cannot
only offer expensive silk carpets for the rich, but also low price rugs from synthetic
fibres for the young and the lower income groups. In the same way the handicraft
sector has e.g. diversified from gold and silver goods to silver plated and stainless steel
items. Without any doubt much more will be possible if the skill development initiative
is further continued and spread over the whole country. The first results are promising!

7. Expert Speak
Opening our Eyes to the Wealth that walks with us
Are we really anxious and working towards conserving our art, craft and handloom
sector? Or is this just a conversation vogue. Through centuries India is and has been
a bedrock of handiwork and continues to inspire the world in trade and design. Yet we
must not rest on our laurels we have a long way to go in protecting and conserving
our handicraft sector.
Contemplation thought:
We will be faced with keeping the purity of our handicrafts with the demands of trade.
I have seen in my career that the buying agents have set a workable base in the 80s
when it was difficult to even communicate with artisans at the village level to do as
simple a job as to replicate one piece exactly as it is to a 1000 or more pieces.
Design is increasingly influenced by buying countries and today we have come a long
way in promoting and converting our skill to the requirements of the west and today a
growing population of double income families.
Make him the Teacher#
In an environment of sustainable economics it is imperative we include in our school
curriculum local, handicrafts and projects on handicrafts as taught in the old way.
Without embedding it in our educational system we are likely to lose our expertise in
the race for trade. The need is to skill up in traditional crafts embedded in our
schools.
The need is to catch that last man whose son or daughter will not work in the
handicraft field as his aspirations are not met.
The need is to subsidize and incentivize his life so he teaches his children and others
children his craft. Bring him the children do not take him out of his zone.
We have to find a way to make the children know that their material future is safe in
the tradition he follows.
Example# Ringal which is wild bamboo and most villagers used to make baskets for
the vegetable and fruit market is dying because Government restrictions on forest
bamboo cutting has curtailed their income. Would it not have been better if they were
given tracts in the forest thereby becoming conserves too. These baskets are epitome
of environment conservation as well as sustainability.

8. Industry Talks
Q. Why and how can the Industry participate and contribute to the Skill India
initiative?
A. Labour in India is cheap but not skilled labour. The industry pays higher when
they poach but there is no value addition. The high cost of skilled labour means
a higher price on the product or service. Countries like China take this
opportunity to sell cheaper than us.
Government is right as they want to cover maximum numbers whereas the
industry wants quality. If we want to achieve both then the industry must come
forward, participate, contribute to the future of the industry and country.
The industry can optimize by adopting ITIs, IITs, NITs, NIDs, and VTPs etc. with
CSR, Machine Tools, Consumables, Process Trainings, Promoting RPL and
apprenticeship. For soft skills, we can have a batch size of 30 but for high quality
in hard skills, we need smaller batch sizes. Smaller batch sizes might not be
profit-making for the VTPs but will ensure a better quality of fresher’s getting
inducted.
Q. What should be the strategy of Skill India?
A. China has the strength of volume and is considered the factory of the world
whereas the west has the strength of RD and is considered the innovator of the
world but India has one strength that is unique and we can be the workshop to
the world. India's strategy should be value-based skilling and value-based selling.
India can and should integrate handicrafts which is a high skill and high value
to the international market. China is not interested in this business model and
the west cannot afford this business model.
This can happen with the integration of the rich handicrafts with other skill
sectors. Eg Handicrafts with Furniture, Handicrafts with Textiles etc.
