Empowering the Craftspersons through Digital India
Raw

Can we empower the Crafts persons to sell online?

Once the Digital India week's buzz died down, the reality is setting in. The poor weavers have not been somehow been magically been enriched. While, most hype has benefited the fashion designers and online retailers, the weavers make a paltry rupee 200 per day on average. See Piyush Rai's blog at saddahaq

Can we empower these crafts persons to sell directly on commerce platforms like ebay , amazon or flipkart

We will need a NGO to help these people out as the weavers are mostly not computer literate. If you think you can or want to help, please tweet us at @craftingindia
