Abstract: Abstract Wooden carved handicraft is one of the popular and well known handicrafts of India. SRE is one of the dominant clusters along with Jodhpur and Mysore that are known for their wooden carvings. It is a labor intensive sector and the skills are usually passed from one generation to another. The wooden carving sector is undergoing considerable changes because of ever growing global competition, economic developments and technological advancements. This paper investigates value chain of wooden carving handicraft cluster of Saharanpur and presents various issues and challenges faced by this cluster. The study was accomplished by field visits, interviews with stakeholders and observations. On the basis of this study suitable recommendations and suggestions for cluster and its units have been proposed to overcome growth barriers.
