Ethnic India is renowned customs among all other countries in the world. This customs are derived from dynamic cultures of the citizens of the nation. If it is considered that livelihood acts as factor for determining culture, then handloom/ weaving has direct bearing for setting up culture of a particular community. A group of artisans of Begampur area, Hooghly district of West Bengal crafts handloom tantsarees which becomes a generation wise customary since ancestral days. However, this craftsmanship is in danger due to various reasons. The aim of this paper is to indicate the various causes of endangering this craft and also to suggest possible means of revival. The entire production process of handloom sarees is itself endangering the present market. Enduring problem of earning low profit results non availability of working capital. The same in turn makes the artisans unable to purchase raw material for producing these products. The same inconvenient has introduced “Mahajan” in the chain of the production. Basically good quality raw materials are found outside of West Bengal only. The “Mahajan” imports raw material and provides to the artisans. In return “Mahajan” receives finished goods i.e., Handloom sarees and only labour charges are paid to the artisans. This process of portraying reduced remuneration to the artisans becomes an indicative factor for making artisans refrained from this system which in turn declining the market of subject product gradually. Moreover, this indirect market facility has become consistent system for marketing the subject goods. Advertisement/sales promotions are not even catered for marketing these goods which results unawareness of the consumers from various places. This unawareness is also an indicative factor for declining the market. This paper is based on primary data collected from artisans, through face to face interview by the researcher and also SWOT analysis carried out for identifying weaknesses for declining the market. The primary data collected are subjected to statistical “Z” analysis for testing hypotheses and moreover deriving conclusion at the end of the study.Keywords

Indian healthcare system is occupied with the Primary health centres which serve its purpose at the ground level. The significance of Primary healthcare system lies with the approbation of serving the rural parts of India. The rural parts of India are also characterized by the hilly areas, marginalised as well as tribal sections of society. Though the primary healthcare outcome status has improved with change in output indices like life expectancy, infant mortality rate, estimated maternal mortality rate, but still it is faced with circumstantial and quintessential challenges. In light of these ground conditions, it is very indispensable to screen out the availability of the service quality available in the primary healthcare centres. This research is an expedient approach designed pragmatically to measure the perception of the patients towards the service quality delivered from the PHC’s. The service availability has been assessed with the relation of demographic categorization. The results obtained have suggested that major service quality dimensions as obtained after data redundancy are personnel quality and safety measures with lower mean and scores, infrastructure, clinical care, administrative procedures with higher mean scores. While accessing the relation with the demographic categorization, positive association of service quality dimensions have been obtained with age, educational qualification and with no significant association with gender. From the view of managerial implications, this study will help in fostering the rural healthcare infrastructure by reengineering the existing facilities through integration of findings obtained. The study will help in amalgamating the operations of the primary healthcare centres with a pre-eminent and resilient foundation.Keywords

An important part of Indian culture is craftsmanship. The community of India is inter-woven with crafts, making it more vivid and incredible. There are about twenty three million handloom and handicraft craftsmen in India in 2019, according to the Export Promotion Council estimates. Over the last quarter, handicraft exports have also increased by about 10.52 percent. In spite of this, only about two percent of the world’s handicraft trade is occupied by India. It’s global presence is primarily hindered by the lack of publicity, the lack of awareness of embracing modern technologies and the disparity in its promotion across digital technology and platforms. The current research paper will discuss the obstacles to the promotion of crafts in the global market. The amalgamation of new technologies embedded with marketing activities for the handicraft industry would also aim to recognise this. The implied results of this study would indicate management and promotional interventions needed in the international marketplace for the wafting artisanal industry.
