Khunti district is home to Munda tribal communities with strong craft traditions — distinctive lac-jewelry (jewelry made from lac resin with embedded mirrors and beads), bamboo work, traditional textile. A producer cooperative organising 40-60 women across lac-jewelry making and complementary crafts captures the niche heritage-craft premium for D2C retail.
Capex of 6-14 lakh covers shared workshop tooling, raw lac supply, packaging, and brand support. DCH (handicrafts) plus DAY-NRLM jointly fund up to 15 lakh in matched grants. Hard parts: lac-jewelry making skill (specialised technique), design adaptation for contemporary buyers, and reaching D2C distribution. Start with traditional designs (proven market); contemporary adaptations in year 2.
