FHS came into existence in the year 2000 under the Society Act XXI of 1860 with a cherished objective of improving the living conditions of artisans engaged in the handicraft sector. Over the years, it expanded its horizon to include skill development, skill up gradation, and implementation of new methods, encouraging unemployed and economically backward people to learn handicraft techniques, and empower artisans holistically.
FHS encourages women to become self-reliant and enhance sustainability. Women, therefore, are provided with training sessions, not only on selling techniques but also on stall layout, and designing, customer service, maintaining feedback, and communication. Participation in exhibitions also removes their inhibitions, and helps them to realize self confidence.
FHS encourages women to become self-reliant and enhance sustainability. It takes initiatives for making women competent enough to sell the products directly to the customers.
