Abstract

Interest in rural artisan development has sprung from two basic considerations: (i) that economic progress achieved so far has not benefited the rural artisan class; (ii) that overall rural development should embrace rural industrialisation using local resources, including especially the manpower resources of rural artisans. So far, two lines of action have been pursued to promote rural industrialisation. The first, analogous to the strategy for agriculture, aims to stimulate self-employment by providing the needed inputs. The other is a more comprehensive strategy, envisaging the organisation of production and marketing with provision of inputs as a part. This means in practice the organisation of the artisans and craftsmen into industrial co-operatives for collective procurement of inputs and the organisation of production and marketing. Both strategies envisage some measure of state participation.
