Abstract

The paper proposes a relationship between the fundamental principles of the sustainable livelihood frameworks and the operations and outcomes of an existing Artisan Producer Group. The focus of the paper is specifically on artisan entrepreneurs and how group entrepreneurship through SHG’s and Producer group creates value addition in capability building, income generation, knowledge creation and generation of a more sustainable system leading to community development and social well-being in a tribal-rural setup. Qualitative research techniques were used for primary data collection and analysis. We designed a questionnaire for a Focus Group Discussions (FGD) with the artisans and interview questions for the Government officers and business owners linked to the cluster. Content analysis has been used to analyze and validate the data. We have identified that the cluster has been successful in its purpose.
