ABSTRACT:
The Indian apparel industry has witnessed a significant shift from traditional hand-embroidered garments to machine-made products, threatening the survival of this intricate and culturally rich craft. This research explores the critical need to preserve and promote traditional hand embroidery in India, highlighting its potential to empower women artisans. The study emphasizes how supporting this craft can enhance the socioeconomic status of women and their families, fostering economic independence and community development. Furthermore, it examines the broader macroeconomic benefits of revitalizing traditional embroidery, including increased employment opportunities and sustainable economic growth.
