Already known as a country of vibrant colors, bangles add a different dimension to it with their varied sizes and shapes. Bangle Industry in India comes under Microenterprises and plays an important role in our Gross Domestic Product (GDP).

The objective of the study is to examine the socio-economic existence of the artisans in both the Glass Industry Firozabad (Uttar Pradesh) and Lac Industry Hyderabad (erst. Andhra Pradesh). This study will also assess key socio-economic indicators like literacy, gender parity, distribution of wealth, social stratification, casteism, social security etc. The research will aim to take a close and balanced holistic approach to the role of family, traditions, and inheritance in their choice of livelihood and skill sets. This research will be conducted by using questionnaire, participant observation, case study to explore the cause and consequences of social issues of artisans in bangle industry.
