Chhattisgarh Handicrafts Development Board Pandri, Raipur, Chhattisgarh

The chhattisgarh hastshilp vikas board, which is an undertaking of the government of chhattisgarh was established in the year 2001. The main objective of the board is to achieve all round development in the field of handicrafts and to revive the vanishing crafts with the help of training and to provide maximum employment opportunities to the traditional and non traditional craftsmen for the constant progress of the handicrafts. Handicrafts have always been an important and integral part of the indian culture and more so in the state of chhattisgarh, where the handicrafts are not very different from the culture and tradition of the people. In order to effectively reach out to the markets, the cghdb has come up with a series of emporiums by the name of “shabari” all across the state.
