The Making of CraftsThere’s a procedure for making any kind of bamboo or cane craft, such as:
• The whole stem is cut with a hacksaw and split longitudinally with a billhook
• The cane is heated on a slow fire,
• After the heating is done the cane is soaked in water for about 6 hours to soften.

• Then the weaving process is done by either hands or tools.
• Finally the items produced are cleaned with sand paper for softness and polished with varnish for shine.
• The items are then dried for about 4-5 hours and are finally ready to be used.

Certain measurements are to be taken by the government for sustaining the handicraft culture of Arunachal:• Supply raw materials• Provide workplaces• Create awareness• Making handicraft a priority• International relations• Building more industries on the cause,
hence creating more opportunity
Applicable Measurements

As a normal citizen, we don’t really have the privilege to take the measurements that the government should be taking. so here are certain measurements that we as a public could take which are as follows:• Prefer hand made goods over machine made goods
• Hold and organise exhibitions• Sponsor the local artisans• Promote handicraft by advertising• Engaging in online business

ConclusionAfter a glimpse on the handcrafts of Arunachal Pradesh we come on terms that handcrafts are an important factor to sustain a culture. Few necessary measurements on how to keep bamboo & cane handcraft going were also mentioned and should not be taken for granted. Because ultimately, loss of culture is loss of identity.
