        abstract = {The handicrafts are an important source of income for rural areas. Handicrafts hold enormous potential as they are essential to both the millions of artisans who already exist in the country and the growing number of newcomers entering the craft sector. The handicraft sector faces many challenges to cope with the current economic environment due to the advancement and development of technology. The present study examines the key marketing and financial constraints faced by handicraft artisans in Bastar and Kondagaon districts of Chhattisgarh. With the decline in demand and sales of handicraft products, artisans' incomes are also falling, forcing them to take up additional income-generating work by artisans. This study also attempts to identify the other sources of income as artisans in Bastar and Kondagaon districts of Chhattisgarh state. The study is based on primary data collected from 120 handicraft artisans of Bastar and Kondagaon districts of Chhattisgarh state. },
