Abstract

The key components of sustainable principles include local manufacturing, recycling, and reuse. These ideas are fundamental to Indigenous traditional crafts. The purpose of this paper is to illustrate the connections between crafts and the UN's 2030 Sustainable Development Goals. The article includes examples of traditional crafts that assist people in transitioning to a more resilient and sustainable way of life. The approaches for preserving the intangible cultural legacy of Banjara embroidery are explained in the study, and they can help to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This study is qualitative in nature and will utilize a case study of Indian Banjara embroidery as a sample because it's a craft that needs government support to be preserved. Major findings will be analyzed to determine a solution. The construction of a framework for indigenous crafts that will serve as revolutionary tools for achieving India's Sustainable Development Goals is the paper's output.
