developing textbooks on Entrepreneurship for 11th & 12th standards.

20. LIMITATIONS
• The study is based on various cluster and units like Barjala, Charilam, Aralia,
Town Pratapghar only.

21. CONCLUSION
• On the basis of data and analysis the study concludes that the number of
artisans are decreasing day by day. They have less exposure and also income
was less. They are purchasing bamboo from local trader or seller at a high
price. Government does not take products from the charilam cluster. Cluster
does not attend various fairs because they don’t get any facilities from the
government or any other organisation. Artisans feels that after selling bamboo
handicrafts products they improve their livelihood, clothing pattern and
education etc. Maximum artisans or cluster facing problem for financial
support, selling products are low price and shortage of raw material, but in
some field Government support is needed to boost the production and for
exporting the product in national or international market and focusing to give
the skill development training and also focusing on improving the production
of bamboo plantation and there are so many area where mainly improvement is
needed like encourage new artisans to adopt various traditional skill and also
improve the awareness program among the people about the product of
bamboo handicraft.

22. RECOMMENDATIONS
• Government need to take necessary initiative for making them aware
about the government loan schemes.
• Bamboo plantation should be increased.
• Government or Non-Government should provide them more training for
making new design products.
• Government should provide facilities to them for attending various fairs at
National and International level.
• Government may take initiative for exporting raw materials.
