The Organiser-EPCH Export Promotion Council for Handicrafts is a non-profit organisation which was established in 1986 under the Companies Act. The main objective of the

council is to support, promote, and increase the export of handicrafts in India.

Being an apex body of handicrafts promoters, EPCH has played a very big part in projecting India as a reliable handicrafts supplier in the global market.

Indian handicrafts exporters initially found it very hard in approaching the international markets as they were not illuminated with the necessary information and exposure to do so. Post the inception of EPCH many handicrafts manufacturers were able to see their very own creations cross international waters without spending a huge amount of money for promotions.
