Tourism
The North Bengal region boasts of highly skilled artisans who are creative and show great dexterity in making handicrafts. They are adept at creating items like carpets, woolen garments, jackets, handloom products, cane and bamboo craft and furniture, ornaments, embroidery work, jute products and pottery.

Siliguri HandicraftsHandicrafts of this region have great demand among the tourist and the business is brisk in the tourist season. However, the state government and other private entrepreneurs need to promote and market these products and must look at opportunities for export. Frequent sale-cum-exhibitions and fairs should be conducted and the artisans provided with rewards and incentive to encourage them in their creative endeavor. The traditional cottage industry that manufactures woolen garments, cane and bamboo products should also be promoted through direct purchase, exhibitions, formations of associations and societies. Steps must be taken to empower them with knowledge on how to promote and effectively market their products, so that they can derive more profit by getting rid of middlemen and agents
