| Not Applicable (Directly) | N/A | While no specific constitutional amendment directly addresses 'Traditional Crafts,' the spirit of cultural preservation is enshrined in the Fundamental Duties (Article 51A(f)) and Directive Principles of State Policy (Article 49). Policy frameworks and specific Acts (like GI Act) are the primary legal instruments. | The constitutional provisions provide a foundational mandate for the State and citizens to protect and promote India's composite culture, of which traditional crafts are an integral part. This forms the bedrock for subsequent legislative and policy actions. |
