Handicrafts are preserved in the society not only as a birthright succeeded from the ancient folks but there are many reasons for conserving the art for various rationale which are akin to their religious, cultural, sentiments and domestic need too. Some of the prominent grounds for encouraging handicrafts are depicted below:

Cultural reasons:
Handicrafts are the hand-outs of ancestors which have been cherished in the heart of every man who are in love with handicraft item. These are the tribute to the old crafts and ancient people. The tren of inventing handicrafts is passing down in the human society since ancient days hence, it is considered as a symbol of culture and tradition of a community or race. Some handicrafts are the social and cultural need of man. There are many ethnic hand crafted products which are basic needs of some people of a certain community. Many hand crafts are used in religious rites and rituals since the days of immemorial so it is inevitable demand by the people. For example, the Hindus sail earthen lamps during some religious festivals and wear women wear Mangalsutra after marriage. Muslims require beads while spelling the name of Allah and the Christians need Christmas trees on X-mass. And all these articles are purely handicrafts.

Social reasons:
No matter the how much the world has filled with the electronics and mechanical needments; still the demand for traditional handicrafts and hand crafted novelties are in demand without being effected. And the production of many handicraft products are in full fledge regardless to the technological changes. Stone crafts, wooden furniture, ivory works, paintings, ceramics and decorative are there which can not be done by machines itself. Though it is manufacture some how than still people do not prefer the homogeneous products which are relatively cheap and widely available. Rather they prefer exclusive, queer and costly products which a handicraft connoisseur only can offer. handicrafts are not only given preference for its oddness but for ostentation also. Hence, these are highly required by the people through out the world. These types of handicraft products not only enhances the grace and beauty of home but fetches praise and appreciation for the house owners' creativity. Wall hanging, paintings, furniture, appalique, swing statues, baskets, flower vase, and many other handicrafts are must for every modern decorated home and houses.

Economical reasons:
In the ancient days handicrafts were a leisurely or pastime work and it was meant for personal and domestic uses only. But now-a-days, this is occupation of the some ethnic groups to originate the designs with which they are concerned. The artisans who are in the respective fields are earning bread from the trade. The work shop of the handicraft products have acquired the status of small scale industries in some countries. And many skilled and talented artists are recruited by the firm which means it provides employment. Some handicraft profession are high paying as the products are highly in demand in the international markets. Over all it generates good revenue from the work. Therefore it is essential for the countries who are suffering mass unemployment and disguised employment.

This is one of the significant reasons for taking side with handicrafts. Every educate man across the world is conscious about ecology as the eco-balance have been disturbed by himself knowingly. Pollution of air and water are under taken by man purposely as he is seeking creature comfort regardless to nature and eco-system. While producing the things of want and need he is causing great depression to the environment. During the process of manufacturing of the things of comfort and luxury he is adding insult to injuries by sound pollution and producing those things which are harmful to man and some are fatally dangerous for human beings. On the other hand handicrafts are one hundred percent harmless and totally eco friendly. It is neither responsible for air and water pollution nor sound pollution. More ever, this is made of natural raw materials isn't it a good news?
