Handicraft Exporters in Rajasthan are now looking to the domestic market to survive through the crisis. This is mainly because the Indian market has largely remained largely unaffected by the global meltdown as compared to the rest of the world.
The Federation of Rajasthan Handicraft Exporters is conceptualized to be interface between the Handicraft Exporter, the Government and other related institutions in order, that the industry may grow and progress in totality.
To tap the domestic market, the Federation of Rajasthan Handicraft Exporters (FRHE) organised a three-day Handicraft Fair from 14 Aug to 16 Aug in Birla Auditorium of Jaipur in order to provide a platform to sellers and buyers of handicraft.
