Handloom industry occupies a unique place in the state of Telangana. Promoting the cultural glory of the State over the years, be it the design patterns of Pochampally Ikat’s, Gadwala cotton, Silk and Sico sarees or Narayanpet cotton and silk sarees along with Warangal durries, Karimnagar bed sheets and furnishing, they all show the outstanding skills of handloom weavers of the State.
A significant portion of the State workforce is dependent on handloom industry for employment. It was only apt then for the government of Telangana to organize a 'Handloom Run/Rally' in all its district headquarters and mandal headquarters on the occasion of National Handloom Day celebrated on 7 th August .
With the intent to highlight the contribution of handloom industry and weavers to the national economy and culture, the district administrations invited handloom societies and committees to participate in the National Handloom Day celebrations.
The government felicitated national award winners, popular handloom weavers and designers for promoting handlooms and invited them to organise an exhibition of handloom products where a live demonstration of handloom works were arranged including cloth weaving and dying.
The officials also organised quiz, elocution, essay writing and other competitions for children to teach them about the prominence of these textiles.
Identifying 17,000 handlooms, the government ran a state-wide survey to identify problems being faced by weavers and handloom industries, that will encourage the district administers to initiate various welfare programmes, including subsidy on yarn, Pavala Vaddi(loan) scheme, block-level clusters and handloom savings schemes among others.
