A᭄ΠSWΣR✍︎

• The handloom sector is one of the largest undefined economic trades after agriculture and incorporates an essential part of the rural and semi rural employment. Handloom weaving constitutes one of the most extensive and dynamic facets of the Indian cultural heritage. Handloom weaving is chiefly suburbanized and the weavers are mainly from the vulnerable and weaker sections of the society, who work for their livelihood and also contribute to the production in the textile sector.

• This sector holds an advantageous position as it requires capital intensive, minimal use of power, is eco-friendly, can adapt to market requirements etc.The Indian textile industry accounts for about one-fifth of India s total industrial output.

Sustainable Clothing

• Sustainable clothing pertains to textile derived from eco-friendly supplies, such as sustainably grown fiber crops or recycled materials. This includes how we produce and utilize clothing and other textiles. Following the guidelines of the principles of sustainability, i.e. reduce, recycle and reuse, clothes are manufactured, marketed and used in the most sustainable manner possible, taking into account both environmental and socio-economic aspects. Sustainable clothing provides a new market for increased job opportunities, continuous net flow of money in the economy, and sustainable patterns of consumption and use, which necessitate shifts in individual attitudes and behaviour.

The Nearly-dying Handloom Industry

• India has a legacy of handloom weaving that is exclusive and the largest anywhere in the world. But that is dying because of absence of aid and strategies that are slaying the handloom industry that provides employment to the largest number of people after agriculture in the country. The setback is that at a time when the government is underlining skill development as a significant factor, these skilled craftsmen are becoming deskilled labour, working as vendors or chai wallahs. Not only is the livelihood of 43 lakh skilled artisans at stake, a rich artistic tradition, thousands of years old is dying a slow death. Lack of security and conservation would prove to be the last leg of the handloom industry.

The Plight of Weavers

• The handloom weavers of have been thrust into a disadvantageous position by mechanical looms and deteriorating remuneration, with many abandoned the looms while others are in constant debt. Lack of information among weavers regarding various policies and schemes is also a significant cause for the waning destiny of the weaver community. A number of brands are currently working with the government-funded Samitis, which house several weavers under their belt.

Reviving the Indian Handloom Industry

• Though the government is taking various measures for the revival and uplift of the handloom industry in India, practically speaking, we are still a long way behind. In order to promote the ‘Made In India’ Campaign, National Handloom Day has been celebrated for the past two years on August 7, with the aim to boycott foreign goods and promote local goods.
