`Handicraft exports need push'
Kolkata, April 18
Foreign trade policy should focus on promoting export
of Indian handicrafts as a driver of employment, Mr
Sanjeev Nandwani, Joint Director of Foreign Trade, said
here on Friday. Speaking at a seminar organised by the
Indian Chamber of Commerce, Mr Nandwani said export
should be looked at as a booster of employment and not
merely a means of generating dollars. Export growth of
handicraft articles in places like the north-east will result
in larger employment generation. The share of
handicrafts in Indian export varies from 2 to 4 per cent
currently, Mr Nandwani said, while the engineering
sector contributes as high as 32-34 per cent. - Our
