I am indeed delighted to inaugurate the Golden Jubilee celebrations of Handicrafts Resurgence in India. It is also a proud moment for me to honour 10 selected eminent craftspersons as "Shilp Gurus", whose exemplary conviction and dedication has put the handicrafts sector on the path of resurgence. In the vision for developed India, rural development is one of the important requirements. And, handicrafts play a major role for rural development because India has the core competence in handicrafts in her villages in the mountains, deserts and coastal regions.
