Abstract

Artisans of famous Shital pati are known as Patiara. Pati making though small, is a famous cottage industry in Northeastern part of India. A survey was done to prepare a list of pati prepared by Patiara people, raw materials used in pati making and to know the status of this neglected cottage industry. Among five different types of pati, price of Shital pati is highest and it has high demand in different parts of the country and abroad. This paper highlights how Patiara people are accepting the challenges for survival and how Murta plant can become a sustainable source of income for poor Patiara community. This cottage industry is not getting its due weightage and artisans involved in this cottage industry are facing problems in maintaining their livelihood.
