The "Local Artisan Support Platform" is a digital initiative aimed at bridging the gap between traditional artisans and modern consumers by providing a dedicated online space to showcase, promote, and sell handmade and culturally significant products. With the rise of e-commerce and the threat of industrial mass production, many local artisans struggle to sustain their crafts due to limited market access, lack of digital literacy, and minimal visibility. This platform empowers artisans by allowing them to create personalized profiles, narrate their stories, and directly engage with a larger audience, thereby fostering cultural preservation and economic sustainability. The platform distinguishes itself from existing alternatives by offering unique features such as storytelling elements, skill development resources, and a community forum for artisans and consumers alike. It also focuses on rural development and promotes inclusive growth by encouraging fair trade and supporting regional craftsmanship. By integrating user-friendly technology, the project aims to revitalize fading art forms, ensure artisans’ livelihoods, and promote conscious consumerism. This report explores the conceptual framework, technical architecture, feasibility study, and implementation plan for the proposed platform, demonstrating how technology can be harnessed to bring meaningful change to grassroots artisanship.
