Abstract :
- Most of the participating handicraft workers
have been severely affected and they are facing several
issues during covid-19 such as the absence of finance,
disruption in the Supply chain, decrease in demand, sales
reduction and low profit, etc by the official estimated 75 per
cent of handicraft workers weren’t involved in the
production and not any plan to handle such situation. The
official reports reported that about one-third of the
participating enterprises could not survive. We adopted an
exploratory methodology, reviewing government policy,
research papers, and government reports for the handicraft
sector. Further, to add evidence, we collect data from two
companies that are doing CSR for artisans in Jharkhand
with the help of interviews and questionnaires. The data
were analysed through descriptive statistics. This study
explores the consistency with previous research/studies
based on the result of my work. The proposal of CSR policy
was recommended by the government of India to ease the
adverse effects during the covid-19 pandemic. Although the
contribution of entrepreneurs via CSR may be sufficient to
boost the state’s economic condition.
During covid-19 lockdown, most artisans and
handicraft workers face critical conditions so their survival
is in danger. Only 10 out of 30 looms are operational, fewer
workers are engaged and the rest migrated and opted for
odd jobs. Their stocks were accumulated and they are
facing a financial crunch. A falling economy,
unemployment, reduced spending, the pandemic, and
subsequent lockdown have had an adverse condition in the
handicraft sector. That is why such sectors are in an
alarming situation, so it’s not only government and
corporates but also all citizens who have to contribute to the
growth of the state. That’s why our main motto - Local to
vocal and we have to concentrate on the “Atmanirbhar
Bharat”
Keywords :
Supply Chain Disruption, Economic Condition, Decrease In Demand, Reduction In Sales, Profit Finance, And GDP.
