T

he value of craft skills are

increasing in todays knowledge
economy with handmade offerings
representing a unique proposition
for superior value. Today, the world
is seriously examining the place of
the craft in the creative economy.
India has a competitive advantage in
this regard as the craft sector is the
second largest employment provider
in the rural India, second only to
agriculture. Successfully integrated
the course curriculum with industry
engagement and applied research.
As crafts moves into the centre stage
of creative economies, one of the
crucial issues is the development of
a ew cadre of young professionals

of synergizing traditional knowledge

and skills with contemporary needs

and trends. IICDs goal has been to
create leaders in the craft sector who
will support positive transformations
in the craft community.
Today, craft cannot exist in isolation
and has to interact with other

new markets and opportunities, has
birthed new challenges related to
completion, sustainability, technology
and intellectual property, among
others. IICD has clearly recognized
these
challenges
and
offers
programmes with a multidisciplinary

challenges affecting the India craft

added resources and infrastructure
facilities, IICD consistently strives
