Artisans in Bihar face daunting obstacles in their bamboo-based livelihoods. Hindered by limited market access and resources, many struggle to find buyers and earn sustainable incomes. Outdated techniques and seasonal harvesting further compound their difficulties, trapping them in cycles of poverty. Additionally, bureaucratic red tape and regulatory barriers hinder formalization and access to support schemes, perpetuating their marginalization. Addressing these challenges requires comprehensive reforms, including policy changes, infrastructure improvements, and capacity-building initiatives.
