In the past, Bhanda Kansara supplied high quality metal work for the local market as well as export to tata, bhubneswar, cuttack, and balasore. A dwindling supply of raw materials such as copper, tin, brass, and coal as fuel, has led many craftsmen to abandon their traditional occupation. A few bell metal shops remain in the village, but the traditional craft is nearly extinct.
