(2)A study of the present scenario of the handloom sector's weavers: An overview (original) (raw)

Abstract India is the centre for handloom as well as textiles and has a rich cultural legacy and ethnic traditions. After agriculture; hand looming has been a significant economic activity. Over the past few decades, there has been a significant shift in Indian society and the economy. Weaving artistry into the strands and turning them into wearable masterpieces is an ancient custom. However, for a variety of reasons, these cultures have lost their face value over time, and the weavers' financial situation has steadily gotten worse. The socio-economic status of handloom weavers, their issues, and the difficulties they face in carrying on the tradition are briefly reviewed in this work. The study ends with some recommendations based on the literature review related to the handloom. Keywords: Handloom, weavers, culture, challenges
