Having skill and being creative are two totally different approaches. When it come to create new product or making change in product they are far behind from urban community because they have lack of basic knowledge and training.

First of all, yes, it is definitely helping local economic development. Second, it also helps attract tourism to visit rural areas, as the products rural people made are unique and handcraft, such as wooden chairs.
