| Summary, etc | The handicrafts industry plays a unique role in the socioeconomic structure of Jammu and Kashmir. The industry is decentralized and highly labor intensive, employing a sizeable population in the valley while preserving its rich cultural heritage. Because handicraft activities are primarily household-based, they are a more important source of income for women than men, especially for women from low-income households. Women have always played an indispensable role in the sector, contributing directly to all activities as home-based workers. These women put in long hours to create beautiful art pieces for this industry most of which have found a foothold in the international market. However, despite their vital contributions to this craft industry in particular and the economy in general, they do not receive real recognition and value for their work. They are often vulnerable to acute exploitation and low wages. These challenges not just cripple their golden hands, but also affect the quality of living adequate for their health and well-being. The study aimed to analyse the socio-economic conditions of the women working in the handicrafts industry of Kashmir. The study was limited to the districts of Srinagar and Ganderbal and the data has been collected from 120 respondents through interview schedules using snowball sampling. The result of the study revealed that artisans are facing challenges like financial constraints, lack of access to market.
