"Craftsmen demonstrate their designs based on current market trends. The initiative has been taken for the next generation so that they get familiar with the glorious legacy of traditional Indian craft," he added. Sharing her experience, a customer named Renu Rao, said, "I am very fond of handicrafts and hand made products. I prefer eco-friendly products as toxic material is harmful to the environment.
