Managing Director’s Message

It gives me great pleasure to extend my warm greetings to all artisans, partners, stakeholders, and well-wishers of the Kerala Artisans’ Development Corporation (KADCO).

Kerala has always been a land of remarkable craftsmanship. Our artisans carry forward centuries-old traditions—each craft a reflection of our state’s history, culture, and identity. In today’s rapidly changing world, it is our responsibility to preserve these traditional skills while supporting artisans to adapt to new opportunities.

At KADCO, our mission is to empower artisan communities, ensure sustainable livelihoods, and create a strong platform for them to showcase their talent. We are committed to improving market access, modernizing skill development programs, and strengthening the artisan ecosystem across Kerala. Through our regional offices and various welfare initiatives, we work to ensure that support reaches artisans at the grassroots level.

As Managing Director, I believe that true development happens when tradition and innovation go hand in hand. We strive to blend the wisdom of our heritage with the possibilities of modern technology—whether it is through product diversification, digital marketing, or new business collaborations.

I invite artisans, institutions, and the public to join hands with us in this mission. Together, we can create new pathways for growth, keep our traditions alive for future generations, and elevate Kerala’s craftsmanship onto national and global platforms.

Thank you for your continued trust and support.

Warm regards,

Managing Director

Kerala Artisans’ Development Corporation (KADCO)
