Industry is the backbone of life and constitutes its economic base. It is the yardstick of nations' progress and welfare. Craft industries form an indispensable part of the industry. They are the cultural and social legacy that is handed down from one generation to another. So, it is logical that craft industries win a lot of appreciation and esteem as they represent the beautiful and marvelous innovations of our ancestors who derived them from their daily life.

It is fortunate that craft industries acquire growing attention of His Majesty the Sultan and his rightly guided government. With his habitual wisdom and farsightedness, His Majesty wanted that such ancient legacy would restore its economic role, and social status. Furthermore, His Majesty hopes that craft industries recreate for itself a suitable place amongst other crafts at regional and international levels and play a pivotal role in the growth of the national economy.
