It is imperative to develop Handloom and handicraft industries in Manipur as the state lacks fully developed industries, said Govindas Konthoujam, Minister of Commerce and Industries, Government of Manipur.
Speaking at the State Handicrafts Awards ceremony organized by the Commerce and Industries Department at the Directorate of Commerce and Industries, Porompat, the Minister said that handloom and handicrafts are the major contributors to the state’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP).
He cautioned that if the domestic handloom and handicraft industry is not developed and if it fails to keep pace with the changing trend, the indigenous art, rather the whole handloom and handicraft industry would not survive.
The Minister advised that the people of the state should try to make the most of India’s Look East Policy and introduction of railways in the state.
Further, stressing on the need to create more demand for handloom and handicraft items of the state, Mr. Konthoujam said that while bestowing the products with a cultural and traditional touch, scientific technologies should be brought to work, and a marketing platform should also be developed for these products.
