Traditional occupations in India - Handicrafts
In Class 11 Home Science, within the chapter Work, Livelihood and Career, students examine how handicraft-based work supports livelihoods while preserving local knowledge and cultural identity. They explore examples such as weaving, pottery, embroidery, metalwork and basketry, along with the skills, raw materials, family or community production systems, and regional variations involved. The topic also connects handicrafts with changing markets, fair income, sustainability, entrepreneurship and career choices, presenting traditional work as both cultural heritage and a developing livelihood.
