AP Handicrafts Chosen for Singapore Republic Day Gifts

Andhra Pradesh's beautiful handmade crafts are going to be given as special gifts at the Republic Day celebrations in Singapore.

The Indian government in Singapore asked for 400 boxes of these crafts, which include things like leather puppets and painted elephant toys.

This is a big deal because it shows that people around the world like Andhra Pradesh's traditional art.

The government is also planning to open more stores to sell these crafts and is training artisans to make even better products.

They are even giving discounts and making their stores look nicer to attract more buyers.
