Providing sustainable livelihood to artisans of India

[OsamaManzar @OsamaManzar]

It is easy to celebrate Handloom Day but extremely difficult to solve the perennial poverty problem that has been exisiting among the weaving and handloom communities. The earnings of the weavers just doesn’t increase. Moreover, most of the weavers are labourers or in bondage.

These are the famous Pattamadai mat weavers in Tirunelveli. These mat weavers make some of the most exotic mata that one can wear like a cloth #HandloomDay @DEFindia
