Handicrafts constitute an important segment of the decentralized/unorganized sector of Indian economy. Originally, started as a part time activity in rural areas, it has now transformed in flourishing economic activity due to significant market demand over the years. Handicrafts have big potential as they hold the key for sustaining not only the existing set of millions of artisans spread over length and breadth of the country, but also for increasingly large number of new entrants in the crafts activity. Presently, handicrafts are contributing substantially in employment generation and export. The Handicraft sector has suffered due to very nature of being in the unorganized sector with additional constraints like lack of education, capital, poor exposure to new technologies, absence of market intelligence and poor institutional framework. The handicraft sector enjoys a special significance in the countrys economy in terms of employment generation as well as earning of foreign exchange through exports. Estimates based on the population census, survey (NSSO), NCAER survey and other studies and information available for the unorganized cottage industry sector reveal that the annual growth rate of employment (both direct and indirect) in the handicrafts sector could be around 2.5%. Craftspersons form the second largest employment sector, second only to agriculture. According to statistics from craft NGOs, there are about 23 million craftspersons in India today. In the old days, craft was the only industry known to mankind. Products were made based on the market requirements, harnessing the skills of communities, utilising traditions handed over from father to son. Craft bore utilitarian features which melded with aesthetics. With foreign dominance Indian craft and the handloom industry were severely exploited; and the attitude of submission and acceptance added to the downslide. Some of the urban sophisticates dictated by western trends dismissed craft as being part of the impractical aesthetics milieu and recoiled at being labelled "arty" desi style. It was only after independence that the need to redefine and rediscover a status for craft was keenly felt, and awareness for protecting skills was accentuated by
craft activists, and slowly agencies for craft development were established by the Indian Government. The craft or handicraft sector is the largest decentralized and unorganized sector of the Indian economy. Craftspeople form the second largest employment sector in India, second only to agriculture. Handicrafts are rightly described as the craft of the people: there are twenty-three million craftspeople in India today. In India, craft is not merely an industry but a creation symbolizing the inner desire and fulfillment of the community. While handicrafts, be it metal ware, pottery, mats, wood-work or weaving, fulfill a positive need in the daily life of people, they also act as a vehicle of self-expression, and of a conscious aesthetic approach. Handicrafts being a state subject, its development and promotion are the primary responsibility of the State Government. However, the Office of the Development Commissioner (Handicrafts) has been supplementing their efforts by implementing various developmental schemes at the central level for the handicrafts sector.
SWARANJAYANTI GRAM SWAROJGAR YOJNA The SGSY self employment programme has been launched by Government of India w.e.f. 1.4.1999 with a holistic approach by replacing schemes like Integrated Rural Development Project (IRDP), Training for Rural Youth and Self Employment Programme (TRYSEM), DWCRA, Supply of Improved Toolkit to Rural Artisans (SITRA), MWS and Gramya Krushi Yojana etc. Objective Development of Micro-entrepreneurs by utilizing resource and services available in rural area. Formation of Self Help Groups (SHG) and User Groups (UG) to increase efficiency and self sufficiency. Adoption of Key activities. Development of rural technology.
Beneficiary BPL families are targeted people to be eligible to get this opportunity. The beneficiary is named as Swarojagary (self earning person) and Self Help Group (SHG) Self-Help Group: A Self- Help Group (SHG) may generally consist of 10-20 persons. However, in difficult areas like deserts, hills and areas with scattered and sparse population and in case of minor irrigation and disabled persons, this number may be from 5.20. The difficult areas have to be identified by the state level SGSY Committee. Compositions of the Self-Help Group: Generally all members of the Group should belong to families below the poverty. However, if necessary, a maximum of 20%, and in exceptional cases, where
essentially required, up to a maximum of 30% of the members in a Group may be from families marginally above the poverty line, living continuously with BPL families and if they are acceptable to BPL members of the Group. The APL members of Group will not be eligible for subsidy under the scheme and shall not become office bearers ( Group leader, assistant group leader or treasurer ) of the group. The BPL families must actively participate in the management and decision making which should not be entirely in the hands of APL families. In case of disabled persons a group may comprise of persons with diverse disabilities or group may comprise of both disabled and non-disabled persons below the poverty line. Aim i) Upliftment of BPL (Below Poverty Line) families in rural areas. ii) To assist under bank credit and Government Subsidy. iii) Each Swarojagary would get Rs.2000/- PM. after repayment of bank loan. Government Assistance There is no limit of loan amount but certain limitations are provided for Government assistance. The subsidy amount may be allowed only after full payment of bank loan. The following are the criteria for subsidy: (1) For SC/ST Swarojagary:- 50% or Rs.10,000/- of loan amount which ever is less. (2) For general Swarojagary:- 30% or Rs.7500/- of loan amount which ever is less. (3) In case of SHG 50% or Rs.1,25,000/- of loan amount which ever is less. (4) There is no limit in case of Irrigation sector in respect of group finance.
CLUSTER DEVELOPMENT AND ROLE OF NIFT The Cluster Development Initiative (CDI) is a Special Project under the aegis of the Swaranjayanti Gram Swarojgar Yojna of the Ministry of Rural Development. Government of India and the only initiative of its kind in the world to be undertaken by a fashion institute. The CDI coalesces the traditional creativity of Indias rich craft heritage with contemporary design and marketing strategies. Incorporating fair trade practices and ethical consumerism in its operations. It aims to benefit ten thousand crafts persons (seventy percent of who live below the poverty line) over three years in the five clusters of Birbhum (West Bengal), Dhar (Madhya Pradesh), Surendranagar (Gujrat), Kozhikode (Kerla), and Hampi (Karnataka). Already, a mutually advantageous link has been established between nine hundred NIFT students and three thousand artisans, who gave together created over two thousand five hundred new products. Two hundred and eighty self-help group have been formed which have provided impetus to the clusters in the areas of product design and development, marketing and promotion. Further, NIFT has collaborated with the Offices of the Development Commissioner Handicraft for showcasing and marketing of the products created under the initiative. About the Project: Craft documentation was introduced in the curriculum, with the idea of sensitizing design students who came from city background towards regional craft traditions of India in 1990. This gave them a good exposure to the rural crafts in there natural habitat where they were made by the artisans from locally available materials and using home made tools. The exposure resulted in developing greater sensitivity and appreciation of the crafts and the indigenous processes. Since this was a one time activity there was no long term association of the students and NIFT with the crafts and artisans which was much needed. In 2003 when the curriculum of NIFT was restructured, an industry survey was conducted, and a strong need was felt by the industry that NIFT should play a preeminent role in bringing the craft legacy of India to the main stream. This need
clubbed with the vision of NIFT for concern for social and human values led to the evolution of Cluster development initiative. This initiative has been interwoven with the curriculum of the NIFT, through which all the students across Design, Technology and Management visit the cluster after 4th Semester. NIFT approached Ministry of rural development with a project plan focusing on clear deliverables. The Project was sanctioned by the ministry in five clusters under Special Projects of the Swarnjayanti Gram Swarozgar Yogna (SGSY) of Ministry of Rural Development, Govt. Of India. NIFT has identified 5 craft clusters and operationalized the project in five centers of NIFT which are as follows: State 1. West Bengal 2. Gujarat 3. Kerala 4. Karnataka 5. Madhya Pradesh Cluster Birbhum Surendranagar Khozhikode Hampi Dhar NIFT, Centers NIFT Kolkata NIFT Gandhinagar NIFT Chennai NIFT Bangalore NIFT New Delhi
Funding: NIFT proposal was to intervene at holistic level and provide common platform for various Govt. and non Govt. agencies. To involve the state Govt. in the initiative proposals were made to various state govt. to contribute 25% funds for the project. Selection of five clusters in the first phase was made on first cum first basis. Hence the funding agencies for the project are Central and State Govt. (Ministry of rural development) in the ratio of 75: 25. And the total cost of the project is 15 crores , 3 crores for each center.
CLUSTER DEVELOPMENT INITIATIVE AT BOLPUR: ROLE OF NIFT KOLKATA This project sponsored by the Ministry of Rural Development, Government of India and Commissioner, Rural Development, Government of West Bengal aims at promotion of Crafts & Textile Clusters and their distinctive styles for higher value realization. Over 9 million artisans are employed in this unorganized sector in India who have been gradually marginalized due to competitive pressure of dynamically shifting market and globalization. The Cluster Development Initiative of NIFT endeavors both the vision building and capacity building objectives for approximate 2,000 rural artisans of Birbhum District of West Bengal engaged in Kantha Stitch, Batik , Leather, Tussar Silk , Macram through Design Development and Diversification, Skill upgradation training, Innovation, Technological upgradation, Formation of self-help groups for linkages with markets & financial institutions for sustainable income generation. NIFT has been instrumental in implementing various projects for empowerment and inclusion of people at all levels, through sustaining cultural diversity and enhancing local employment potential. Cluster development initiative of NIFT under the Swarnajayanti Gram Swarozgar Yojna (SGSY) scheme of The Ministry of Rural Development, Government of India is a significant step in this direction. SGSY is an effort of the government of India towards offering a holistic program covering all aspects of self-employment such as organization of the poor into self help groups (SHG), training, credit, technology, infrastructure and marketing. The program has been designed to provide proper support and encouragement to tap the inherent talents and capabilities of the rural poor. The intent is to generate a revenue model aimed at self-sustenance of the artisans involved through knowledge dissemination and entrepreneur building skills.

1. Design Studio (DS): as focal points are based in NIFT centres for service and support of business development needs including trends, forecast, market intelligence, innovation and product development as well as training and knowledge dissemination for cluster development. 2. The development of market linkages, linkages with financial institutions and networking with the trade partners and stake holders and establishing microenterprises has been initiated at the design nodes or Rural Development Enterprise Centre (RDEC) at the clusters. This has been the nodal point to not only facilitate the implementation of various initiatives, but also to pass on the skills and competencies acquired as a result of various activities. 3. The activities of capacity building such as new product development, skills and technological up gradation, common brands, etc. have been linked to the Shared Resources & Technological Support Centres (SRTSC) at the sub-cluster level.
4. The Deliverables This project is a three year project (March 2005-2008), with measurable deliverables for each year end. The development initiative is aimed to alleviate poverty levels of over 2000 beneficiaries, most of them (70%) belonging to below poverty line (BPL) by providing skill and sustained employment. During the first year of the initiative, the deliverables were community mobilization to form SHGs, to develop strategies for interventions in design, technology and market and managed areas based on diagnostic study as well as setting up DS, REDC and SRTC. During the second year, the deliverables initiated change and enhancement amongst the beneficiaries through development of business models. Facilitating knowledge and business intelligence, design and technical up gradation, forging alliances with trade partners, trade promotions and supply chain management, as well as operationalize the DS, RDEC and SRTCS. In the third year self sustainable models and structures will be developed and implemented through strengthening and optimization of structures of supply chain and quality standards, define product development, capacities and capabilities building, implementing trading cycles, collective brand and formation of federation of beneficiaries SHGs.
NIFT has also worked out a project evaluation plan for the entire project, which will be based on a base line survey in the chosen clusters, followed by periodic updates of the same, and then a conclusive survey at the end of the project period. The same shall closely map all socio-economic developments in order to monitor the progress and direction of the project. The project aims to transfer and disseminate technology, information and skill resident with the initiative to the grass roots level, thereby uplifting the living standards of BPL families. It is very important that the whole effort is made into one brand which has a
ridge story to tell, quality products to offer, and can be capitalized by t he artisans for years to come for a meaningful living. Birbhum: The Birbhum District of West Bengal occupies a very important part in the socio-cultural activities of our country along with the Visva Bharti University at Santiniketan being present in this area. From time immemorial, Birbhum has been famous for its Art and Crafts. The great Artist Shri Nandalal Basu was the pioneer introducing the batik effect on fabric and its uniqueness to Leather Crafts. This region is amongst the few, which have been able to harness the potential of Traditional Vegetable Tanned Leathers and utilize its unique characteristics of accepting pressure and mould ability to create a pleasing aesthetic experience. In the year 1923, Shri Susen Mukhopadhyaya called upon the craftsmen of this region to come under the umbrella of a society which we know today as Amar Kutir Society for Rural Development. This society is today one of the oldest and largest in India which caters to a whole gamut of Traditional Handicrafts including Leather goods and Accessories, Kantha Stitch Embroidery, Hand Batik, Bell Metal, Silk reeling & Spinning, Terracotta, jute, bamboo and Shola Work amongst others. The main areas of handicraft in the Birbhum District are Bolpur, Nalhati, Ilambazar and Rajnagar. Crafts identified of Birbhum

Kantha The Sanskrit word kontha means 'rags.' One legend links their origins to Lord Buddha and his disciples, who used to cover themselves with garments made from discarded rags that were patched and sewn together. Rags displayed at Indian shrines or tied to tree limbs symbolize prayers and wards off the evil eye. The oldest extant kantha date from the early 1800s and is embroidered with blue, black and red threads that were unraveled from sari borders. Because they were salvaged from used garments that had been frequently laundered, the colors tend to be muted.
Kantha Stitching is an age-old traditional craft which has its origin in rural Bengal where it has developed over the decades as a Cottage Industry. The possibilities of Value addition in seamed and seamless apparel via utilization of Kantha Stitch is very high. The rich and exquisite hand embroidery Kantha work has a high appreciation in the international market which needs to be further harnessed for Value additions. The raw materials and tools used for this crafts are cloth, thread, beads, tracing paper, stitching machine, needle, scissors, press iron etc.
Batik Batik is an ancient art. The wax process was brought to India by late Rathindranath Tagore. Son of the famous poet Rabindranath Tagore. The word batik actually means wax writing . It is a way of decorating fabric by covering a part of it with a coat of wax and then dyeing the fabric. The waxed areas keep their original color and when the wax is removed the contrast between the dyed and undyed areas makes the pattern. The crackle effect of batik is the most fascinating part which makes it unique. This results when the cooled wax is cracked to allow the dye to penetrate in the final dye bath.
Leather Embossed leather work on goatskin is a specialty of West Bengal. The leather is cold embossed and the intricate designs are hand painted using spirit dyes to give an individual feel to the smallest and most mundane object. Leather handicraft is the largest type of crafts being done in the Birbhum District. The uniqueness of the crafts done in this area is the Etching, Embossing and batik styling that is synonymous with Shantiniketan. The beauty of this product is the utilization of vegetable tanned leather, which has the properties of accepting any type of pressure on its surface, which enables the creation of beautiful
designs via embossing and etching. The resist treatment by using natural extracts creates the batik effect. Shantiniketan style leather products are well known in the domestic and Export markets as SHANTI PRODUCTS (a brand which can be pursued further internationally for positioning leather handicrafts of this region). In spite of having a large resource of Designs for Embossing, Etching and batik treatments the area of concern for these products is the continuous usage of similar design and products with less innovation. The leatherwork requires knife, skiving knife, awl, pointer, setsquares, embossing wheel and carriage, combination punch, cobblers hammer, edge creaser, thronging chisel, pliers etc as the tools. Tussar Silk The concept of silk weaving originated many years ago in China. Soon the art traveled to India and became an integral part of the woven designs created in many form of garments, especially saris. During 18th centuries silk became very popular in Europe especially in Britain. In India the silk woven designs acquired their varieties through migration of the craft in various regions, where they evolved and acquired their regional characteristics. It is a thriving art and production of the silk fabrics is very high which requires a large quantity of silk yarns, which is consumed by the industry.
Silk weaving has also come down from ancient times in Bengal. Kausheya Vastra, wild-silk weaving in Bengal is mentioned in the Arthashastra, a treaties in economics by Kautilya, written around 300 B.C. the silk weavers of Bankura, Purulia and Birbhum still weave wild silk, Tussar, for many uses. The cocoons almost the size of small eggs, are found attached to various forest trees in the semi-arid zones of these districts. The silk filament yarn is reeled from the silk cocoons. The silk, which is famous for its luster, smoothness, feel is then converted to beautiful designed fabrics.

ARTISAN
PROCESS
PRODUCT
MARKETS
As per as the current marketing process is concerned the products are developed locally be the artisans by the given designs of the middlemen or the mahajans who then sell the products to the retailers and earn a heavy profit for which the artisans derive only a small percentage of them. Artisans are using this system from long period of time as they do not have access to the market and the middlemen are so strong financially, that the artisans cannot approach the market independently. Sometimes the middlemen even block the market supply chain. So the artisans are now composing themselves into Self Helf Groups which work collectively in order to get rid of these middlemen.
SELP HELP GROUPS Theoretically Self help group has been defined as a small economically homogeneous and affinity group of rural poor women which voluntarily agrees to contribute to a common fund to be lend to its members as per the decision of the group which works for groups solidarity, self and group awareness, social and economic empowerment in the way of democratic functioning. Operationally Self help Group has been defined as an organization of socioeconomically backward people who are primarily looking to explore possibilities for income generation. Self-Help Groups are ... A way to start working that helps to build up the social connections which people find useful in support of their livelihoods objectives
... Helping people to agree things and to speak together, giving people a stronger voice in decision-making and in negotiating with more powerful forces ... A way of increasing the effectiveness of local actions ... Providing easier access to micro-credit and other resources and services Self-Help Groups are a real way to build social capital. Other actions can include: 1. Building networks and connectedness to increase the ability of providers and users of services to work together or to strengthen links among individuals with shared interests, and increase their chances to be part of wider institutions, such as political or peoples organizations. 2. Supporting membership of more formalized groups which often involves everyone agreeing and accepting a set of rules and ways of doing things and also agreeing what to do if people dont follow the rules. 3. Building relationships of trust (so-called give-and-take), exchanging information, working on things together, cooperating and reducing the effort involved in doing something which may provide the basis for informal safety nets among people (helping each other). This can be people and also groups helping each other and may eventually take the form of federations of Self-Help Groups. A federation of Self-Help Groups is good for building links with service providers, including extension and other government and NGO services, the rural banking sector, suppliers of materials and links to markets.
HOW TO GET STARTED? 1. See if a group already exists. 2. Work with others and seek help Start as a group, where every member has some ownership. Try to
contact someone who has founded a group. If new folks join, help them recognize that it is important for every member to make some contribution. Consider obtaining the assistance of professionals who may be sensitive to your needs and willing to assist
your efforts. Projects, banks, NGOs and extension workers may be helpful in various ways, from providing meeting space to locating needed resources. 3. Start small Start small to work out the problems, make some mistakes, and generally get things in order before you go to the general public. Small groups are less likely to be divided by arguments or dominated by a minority. Members with similar backgrounds and common interests are more likely to trust each other and accept joint liability for their activities. 4. Choose a name for the group A group name helps people feel part of a team who are working toward a common goal. It helps hold people together. 5. Agree on a constitution Your constitution is a written record of the purpose and rules for the group, what is expected from members and what they can expect from the group. This can avoid conflict and make the responsibilities of each member clear. 6. Agree on a meeting place and time Encourage mens and womens participation in groups (separately or together).Try to provide the best place for participation of women and men and encourage leadership skills in them. If you anticipate a small group and feel comfortable with the idea, consider initial meetings in members' homes. Also, try and set a convenient time for people to remember the meeting, e.g., the first Tuesday of the month. ENCOURAGE: Regular attendance at group meetings Transparency in ways of working; records (like the minutes book, attendance register, accounts) help the group remember what has been decided at meetings. They are important in monitoring and evaluation. Small savings to build up a strong common fund; members may be allowed to get loans against their savings and the group will develop skills in setting an interest rate,
loan installments, and recovering loans and all this will help with getting credit from a bank. Opening a savings bank account with the nearest commercial or rural bank or a cooperative bank, beginning a relationship between the bank and the Self-Help Group. Income-generating activities that produce assets that help build self-reliance. Agreement on changing leaders; too frequently can be unsettling and make long term planning difficult. On the other hand, rotating leadership quite frequently within the group provides all members with the chance to develop organizational and leadership skills.

CHAPTER 3 Major Challenges and Scope of Market Some of the major issued by the industry are: Due to the concentrated export market, India faces centralized risk Stringent quality benchmark from buyers side Absence of appropriate designing facilities and designers Dearth of trained professionals Available marketing platforms are insufficient and hence cannot fulfill the demands Lack of mechanism resulting in non standardization of products Falling demand due to change in preferences Rising competition from other countries
Whereas the other problems include: The common problems of artisans are: 1. Individually, Artisan are often unable to capture market opportunities which require large production quantities, homogenous standards, and regular supply. 2. They experience difficulties in achieving economies of scale in the purchase of inputs (such as equipment, raw materials, finance, consulting services, etc.) 3.

Major Policies Formulated: In the local scenario, since the market is well known to the crafts of Birbhum there is an intense competition within the various retailers of these products. The only difference in which Mahila Mahasangha has a competitive advantage is the raw silk fabric, which is produced by around 300 weavers. So the marketing plan developed for this market was targeting mainly: Retailers/Boutiques Wholesalers Trade fairs
We targeted the all local boutique all individual retailers who are dealing in the handicrafts as we contacted them through Handicraft fair where we personally met them and told about Mahila Mahasangha ,availability of product range ,and accessories and the mainly its strength in having large pool of skilled artisan and the capacity of producing the silk fabric with block print, kantha on it . We gave them the Visiting Card for further inquiry and buying, we also collected the address of all them so that in future Mahila Mahasangha can contact them through mail, phone on every product innovation.

Interested buyers please feel free to drop in, call, fax or even mail us and feel proud to be associated with the leaders like TANTUJA. Tantuja was much interested to purchase handloom products from Mahila Mahasangha after the product catalogue was shown to them. Althogh they develop their own chain of artisans and usually do not work with societies but they were convinced with the effort made by us to promote the marketing for Mahila Mahasangha and agreed to negotiate
with the Mahasangha on prices as they would likely purchase bulk orders. Since it only deals with handlooms so was interested only in the silk sarees with or without kantha on them. They were also interested in purchasing raw silk in order to develop there own fabric with their own style/design.

Major policies formulated: Since these products are a speciality of the Birbhum district only,so they were less known nationally. So first of all we created awareness about the crafts and the value added in these by mentioning about them in our product catalogue. The product catalogue was mailed to the various retailers as well as wholesalers. We also attended a cluster fair in Delhi Haat named Cluster Haat on Feb 13-17 which had stalls from various clusters from all over the country.
International market: To know about the international, market the first step was to contact the Export Promotion Council for Handicrafts which acts as a body for the export of handicrafts. To compete the international standards, EPCH conducts workshops to educate the artisans from time to time.
Export Promotion Council for Handicrafts (EPCH) under the aegis of Development Commissioner (Handicrafts), Ministry of Textiles, Government of India is a non-profit organization, established under the EXIM policy of Government of India in the year 1986-87. It has created necessary infrastructure as well as marketing and information facilities, which are availed both by the member exporters and importers. The Council is engaged in promotion of handicrafts from India and project Indias image abroad as a reliable supplier of high quality handicrafts.
Providing commercially useful information and assistance to members in developing and increasing exports. Offering professional advice and services to members in areas of technology upgradation, quality and design improvement, standards and specifications, product development, innovation etc. Organising visits of delegation of its members abroad to explore overseas market opportunities. Participating in specialized International Trade Fairs of handicrafts & gifts.
Organizing Indian Handicrafts and Gifts Fair at New Delhi. Interaction between exporting community and Govt. both at the Central and State level and representation in almost all the committees / panels of Central and State and represents in almost all the committees / panels of Central and State. To create an environment of awareness through Workshops on "Export Marketing, Procedures and Documentation", Packaging, Design Development, Buyer Seller Meet, Open House etc. interaction with Central and State Govt. and various other similar programmes. Dissemination of government notification, orders, information on trade and other relevant information to members.
Selection of Markets is the first step in international marketing, it is important that the right product is marketed in right markets. After carefully selecting the market the exporter has to decide the method of entry in the market. There are eventually two ways to enter a foreign market, namely indirect and direct, in the indirect method the exports are almost equivalent to domestic sale and it is done in two ways namely (a) selling to a merchant exporter or export house in India and (b) selling to visiting/resident buyers. However, in direct exporting, the manufacturers take upon themselves the task of managing the export sale.
The exporter may also participate in the trade fairs organised in india and abroad in order to explore the possibilities/opportunities offered by them.
Market Research
Another important tool before entering into export market is market research as it helps the exporters in decision making. The need for market research, arises to provide a sound database which help the management in taking decisions regarding new product launching, product adaptation and in developing comprehensive and strategic marketing plans
Export Pricing
The pace of export expansion is an important determinant of economic growth in developing countries. And for achieving the desired rate of growth in export, effective pricing policing for exports constitutes an essential elements. Export pricing assumes strategic significance especially because of the relatively lower technological base of developing economics resulting in higher cost of production. Pricing is like a tripod, the three legs being costs, demand and competition.
Selection of Agent
Many exporters who have a marketable, appropriately priced, good product and who are able to develop and finance a marketing support plan encounter export difficulty in spite of all these advantages, because they select an overseas agent haphazardly. An exporters need to take four basic steps to solve this problem. He may (a) determine his marketing requirements (b) established contacts with prospective agents (c) evaluate the list of agents and select a suitable one (d) appoint agent.
Promotion
There are various modes through which an exporter can promote its merchandise namely advertisments in foriegn publications/trade journals in the identified markets and also in the reputed Indan publications. The exporters may
also create a CD ROM catolog of it products along with a website providing an insight into its activities/products. Terms of Payment
The nature of credit terms offered by the suppliers is very decisive in obtaining order.
Export Contracts
In the contract of sale, it is important that the principle parties to the contact viz. seller and buyer do know clearly, and without any ambiguities, their respective rights and obligations. What is it that each of them is supposed to do under the contract and what does one get in consideration for the fulfillment of the obligations set out in the contract? The International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) has spelled out clear cut rules of international trade in order to avoid ambiguities.
Export Finance

And Under the Advertising to create Awareness, Knowledge, about product then Liking of it that convinced the customer so they can buy or Purchase product of Mahila Mahasangha, we developed a Brochures, Leaflets, Billboards, and Logos.

Danglers: We developed danglers for Mahila Mahasangha , according the product that explaining uniqueness about it and can carry by the buyer along with the product they purchase that increase word of mouth marketing of product and the place. it gives value addition to products
CHAPTER 6 FORMATION OF MAHILA MAHASANGHA The term cluster' indicates a sectoral and geographical concentration of enterprises which produce and sell a range of related products and are, thus, faced with common challenges and opportunities The term Mahila mahasangha refers to a group of Artisans who cooperate on a joint project like joint raw material purchase , joint marketing through common brand , cost sharing , capacity utilization , joint participations in exhibitions & marketing tours etc. thereby complementing each other in order to overcome common problems, achieve collective efficiency and conquer markets beyond their individual reach. Market access success is key to technological up gradation. Once they know the market, they will themselves invest in upgrading their technology in order to tap the markets. Due to the Due to the continuous and fierce struggle to preserve their narrow profit margins, cluster artisan are often locked in their routine work and unable to introduce innovative improvements to their products and processes and cannot look beyond the boundaries of their firms to capture new market opportunities. Pricing Sale of products is the only source of MM's income in order to continue its social work, independent of any donation or sponsorship. MM has built its clientele through sales of superior products and efficient service. MM promotes sale of its products within its financial and infrastructural means.
System of Sale: Direct Sale at MM outlet Swayambara, mostly. Delivery of products to other places can be arranged as per order.
System of Delivery: Product can be couriered subject to availability of courier service from Bolpur (MM's 'home') to requested destination. Alternatively, buyer nominates
courier-company and liaises with courier to collect product from Bolpur and deliver. Postage, handling or courier charges are in addition to product price. MM reaches mutual agreement with customer through written order and quotation before accepting advance money in order to start work. Payment of Advance money when placing order: Direct Sale at MM outlet - 50% advance to be paid when mutual written agreement reached about details of order. Balance 50% to be paid when receiving finished product. Delivery to other places 100% to be paid when mutual written agreement reached about details of order. MM does not have means to recover unpaid amounts/balance.
Finalization of orders Only written orders are accepted. MM and customer hold identical copies of final order. Final order includes details of fabric (namely, exact shade & fastness of colour, strength, softness), design, colour (fabric-colour, thread-colour), costing, time deadline, volume, customer's contact details and delivery-mechanism.
Selection of Design: At MM outlet discussed and finalised face to face. Remote orders all aspects of order mentioned above discussed by e-mail or post.
Methods of payment: Direct sale Cash Account-to-account funds transfer; draft/cheque No credit card payment facility available in both cases; no cheque payment accepted for direct sale. Delivery of product against cheque payment is subject to cheque-clearance. Currency: Indian Rupees (INR).
Refund Policy: MM makes sure that the customer checks all aspects of product fabric, design, colour of thread, stitching/tailoring at the time of final payment.

If, however, a customer approaches MM with request to repair an accidental damage that occurred due to an incident at the customer's end, MM assesses the damage and may offer its service either with or without charge. Any chance error (wrong design or colour of thread or fabric) by MM is corrected efficiently.
CHAPTER 7 Conclusion After this project with the Mahila Mahasangha at Birbhum, it was found out that the existing marketing model used is inadequate to meet the demands of the market. Our contribution to the project helped them to organise a structured and proper link to the various markets and to create a platform in order to make them independent in terms of business so that all the artisans included in the Mahasangha get benefitted. On obtaining the proper resources from the market and working with different buyers ans well as exporters they would be benefitted in terms of product development and other related areas in terms of industry exposure.
Recommendations ECONOMICS OF SKILL: Hire one professional manager for the one group who can help liaise with buyers and manage contacts.This individual should have good communication skill and should have good knowledge of computer and internet. LEARNING: Hands on experience of the advantages of business to business cooperation. COST SHARING: Such as booths, travel, marketing for a trade fair or buyers meet. SPOT LIGHT: Models can generate attention from media and buyers. Promote heavily the show room SWAYAMWARA in Birbhum in order to tap the tourists and other consumers. Form a Consortium within the artisans according to the craft so that they can concentrate on it. Form a export consortium and their core activity will be implementation of cluster program by backward and forward linkages.They can also joint purchase through negotiation and import sourcing. Concentrate on Markting Channel as Promotion, Distribution and Supply Chain Management.
Significant contributions: We educated them about the new arenas of marketing,i.e the channels they can utilize for the proper sales of their products. We provided them the exposure to the various markets, i.e local, domestic and international through giving them a whole databse of retailers/buyers and exporters in various markets. We made them a member of EPCH so that they can be avail of the latest trends in the international markets and thus gave them a platform to be exposed to the foreign buyers. We also collaborated them with large retail chains namely Manjhusa,Tantuja who have shown major interest in procurement of raw as well as finished products. We made them aware of various communication mix in order to promote their products in the markets.
Limitations of study: This study has attempted to delve into some of the important issues. However it is admitted that there are some limitations in the conduct of this study which are as follows: The study has been undertaken on an All India basis but it was not possible to visit the whole India for this purpose and the study is restricted only to selected areas because quantitative information was very difficult to obtain. Some of empirical investigations could not be carried out in detail because of non availability of relevant information for undergoing those investigations. Major source of data in this regard was from those departments, which is very difficult to access as it is not possible to get confidential information. The data is self-reporting in nature which cannot be generalized. The possibility of error being introduced into the data ignorance or selective perception calls for cautious interpretations. Sampling errors can also be a possibility. There appear to be little updated information on as a lot of changes have taken place but we have not incorporated. Most of these are off-shoots of the self imposed restrictions during the process of research in order to keep the research .
Scope of further study Due to time constraint, the implementation of the model was not done in proper terms. Futher study can be done upon improving the communication channels in order to promote the organisation as well as its store in proper light. Market Research can be done for segmentation and positioning of the products. Gap analysis can be performed in order to get the indepth study of the oragnisation with its competitors.
