The government can promote this sector while private sector should invest in the handicrafts industry and turn it into a lucrative and profitable sector, said Dr. Murtaza Mughal, President PEW.
He said that there is a great demand for locally made handicrafts in the international market, therefore, this sector should be promoted which is directly linked with the skilled women.
