Abstract:

The handloom industry is India’s largest cottage industry representing and preserving the vibrant and beautiful Indian culture and traditions. Indian artists are now known worldwide for their spinning weaving and hand-printing techniques. The handicraft industry is the second-largest source of employment in the country after agriculture. It employs 12.5 million people and is the largest supplier to rural businesses outside of agriculture. The success or failure of the handloom industry largely depend on the quality in this competitive world. The quality and the quantity of the handloom products purely derive from operational constraints which were adopted. The present study aimed to identify the impact of operational constraints like raw material availability, credit facility, functioning, and welfare constraints on the quality and productivity of handlooms in the Kadapa district. The data were collected from a total of 120 weaver entrepreneurs operating in different locations of the Kadapa district. A stratified random sampling technique has been adopted for the sample responses collection. Suitable tools like multivariate multiple regression with structural analysis were carried out to analyze and interpret the data. The study results revealed that all the four operational constraints like raw material availability, credit facility, functioning, and welfare constraints were positively and significantly influencing the quality of the handloom products. These operational constraints also influence the productivity of handlooms positively and significantly. A total of eight hypotheses were formulated with the support of the literature and all are supported. The raw material was found as an important predictor of the quality and productivity of the handloom products as it captured the maximum level of influence than other parameters.

Abstract:

Clothing is one of the basic needs of human beings and first produced by using handlooms. Cloth can be produced by three ways: using handloom, power loom, and mills. Mill sector falls under organized sector, where as the handloom and power looms fall under unorganized sector. The supply chain in this unorganized sector is different and not given any importance. The main aim of the study is to examine the relationship between supply chain management practices and production performance in Indian handloom industry. Data is collected from the master weavers of Undivided State of Andhra Pradesh and analysed using structural equation modeling. The study found that there is a relationship between the supply chain management practices and production performance.

Abstract:

Handloom sector has often been hailed as the engine of economic growth for countries as it plays a crucial role in providing large-scale employment opportunities at a lower cost of capital, while also uplifting rural and backward communities through industrialization, resulting in a more equitable distribution of national income and wealth. Handloom is one of the important traditional sectors of our economy. Small scale industries are important because it helps in increasing employment and economic development of Kerala. Since independence, our handloom sector has been at the peak stage. But at present, modernization and mechanization caused the vanishing of traditional handloom sectors.

Abstract:

The authors set out to examine the competitiveness of the handloom weaving industry in modern India from the market point of view. The three themes, which the authors themselves point out in the introduction, deal with cotton handlooms in the general context of traditional industry, present a detailed description of the situation in Andhra Pradesh and evaluate the effectiveness of government policy. An the heart of the argument is the need for policy-makers to make their decisions on the basis of “empirical data rather than received wisdom” (p. 19). The fact is that in spite of being regarded as a “...residual subsistence activity” (p. 16) handloom weaving has maintained its share of output through the decades, competition from power-looms notwithstanding.

Abstract:

Women entrepreneurship is gaining importance all over the world for addressing the development issues of women. Since the inception of the five-year plans, the Government of India has been giving attention towards mitigating the development issues of women such as labour force participation, empowerment, education and gender inequality. Women-owned micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) are contributing significantly towards the economic development of the nation through employment and income generation, poverty eradication, and by bringing entrepreneurial diversity in the economic activities. The handloom industry offers an appropriate setting to analyse the significance of the rural women-owned micro-enterprises towards local economic development. With archaic hand-operated looms, the production mechanism takes place mostly in the rural areas. The present article analyses the factors that affect tribal women to own a handloom micro-enterprise. It is based on primary data collected at firm level from two major tribes in Assam, namely Bodo and Mising. The data were collected from five different districts in Assam where tribal communities are operating handloom businesses. Within the framework of random utility model of economic choice, the findings of the probit model show that age, knowing other handloom micro-entrepreneurs, past history of family business, access to borrowing and risk-taking behaviour have significant and positive influences on the decision of a woman in becoming a handloom micro-entrepreneur. The study suggests for an all-inclusive policy approach for the overall development of handloom industry in the tribal areas.

Abstract:

Purpose The purpose of this study is to assess sustainability across the handloom industry in Sri Lanka and identify opportunities for sustainable innovations supporting new markets, development of small-and-medium enterprises (SMEs) and growth in the Sri Lankan craft sector. Design/methodology/approach Using a multiple case studies methodology, 10 case studies and 37 semi-structured interviews were analysed along with the triple-layered business model canvas. Findings The study reveals the handloom industry to be fundamentally sustainable but with structural barriers that hinder both innovation and growth. The environmentally conscious production process and social inclusion within weaving communities are the key driving forces of sustainability in the sector; however, the structure of the industry and lack of access to markets and information act as barriers to both innovation and growth. The incorporation of design interventions, closed-loop manufacturing strategies and the encouragement of community-based entrepreneurship would support sustainability-orientated business innovation in the handloom industry. Originality/value The rapidly increasing market share for high-quality, hand-made goods indicates the potential of the creative industries to accelerate socio-economic growth. Handloom textiles is attracting growing interest in fashion markets because of increasing concern about exploitation in production, thus encouraging interest in the economic benefits of fairly traded, high quality materials and the potential contribution of handloom to sustainability in the fashion industry. The results of this study will support the handloom industry and policy-makers in developing support for sustainable innovation in the handloom industry.

Abstract:

This research focuses on the handloom industry's export support program. The present governmental export support program is divided into four determinants based on their features, and those four determinants of export help were found by a thorough literature research and analysis of the governmental aid programs for the handloom sector. The financial support structure has a significant impact on export assistance since it provides numerous tax refunds and other concessions. This research primarily focuses on diverse literatures relating to the handloom business, with the goal of extracting the common thread running across all of the studies.

Abstract:

This article briefly traces some general trends defining the existence of handloom weaving industry in United Provinces in the late nineteenth century and the first half of the twentieth century. Handloom industry, in spite of the dislocation through large imports of British cloth, still remained the largest employing sector in this region, after agriculture. Use of machine-made yarn play a part in the survival of the handloom weaver, and there being now escalating competition between Indian and British mill yarn for supplying the local handloom industry. Handspun yarn ultimately became a miniscule part of the yarn market. The article analyses the ways in which the region’s handloom weavers were affected by these changes, by focusing on the shifts towards production of special kinds of cloth and search for investments, raw material and market. Such changes also meant that the previous inter-community forms of dependence tended to be transformed into intra-community forms of exploitation.

Abstract:

Handloom is a long-standing tradition in India with exquisite and incomparable craftsmanship. The growth in power looms and increased influence of westernization has led to the destruction of the handloom industry and weavers lost markets for their authentic goods. Most of the weaver communities are homeless because of natural disasters, while some of the third-category weavers are unemployed and because they cannot afford yarns, dyes, and handlooms of their own and rely on cooperative societies and master weavers. The project's major objective is to give vulnerable families a chance to benefit from their strength and individuality. Proposing a community development center for the weaver community not only provides temporary shelter but also encourages them to develop their skills and helps them generate their own revenue. The program emphasizes on empowering the weaving community while also showcasing Indian traditional handlooms globally by giving viewers a live walkthrough and experience. The younger generation must be encouraged to learn the skill of weaving and promoting swadeshi textiles. The community development center aims to house weaver families and trainees and provide them with all necessary amenities. It also encourages them to establish their own identities in the market by giving them places to sell their own goods and giving trainees the opportunity to learn new skills and work towards it in the future. Key Words: traditional handloom, westernization, weaver community decline, community development centre, live walkthrough

Abstract The handloom industry in India is an ancient cottage industry with a decentralized setup that provides jobs to about 35 million people. Handloom established its reputation in the global market long before the industrial revolution. Today, India’s handloom and spinning wheel produces the largest variation of designs. It continued to flourish despite the oppression of the British Government. In India the powerloom sector is the dominant player in the weaving process. It contributes more than 60 percent of the total textile production. The powerloom units are meeting the textile products required for the domestic market as well as for the export of the same. Against this backdrop this article dwells upon the history of the handloom and powerloom industry in India in general, and Odisha in particular. This article is based on only secondary data.

Abstract:

There has been an upsurge of interest on the history and conditions of handloom weavers in India in recent years. Various works have appeared. There has, however, been a dearth of microscopic studies relating to the health rights and poverty among the handloom weaving community of India in general and of Western UP in particular. Handloom weaver as a person devoid of basic health rights and subjected to the most inhuman form of poverty – has never been the central theme of the practical research works. According to the Approach Paper for the 12th Plan, the handloom sector is a major employment generating sector. As per the Handloom Census of 2009-10, there are 23.77 lakh handlooms in the country, providing employment to 43.32 lakh handloom weavers and ancillary workers. The dispersed and decentralized handloom sector embodies the traditional wisdom, cultural wealth and secular ethos of our country. It is not just a source of livelihood for lakhs of weavers and artisans, but also environment friendly, energy and capital saving and labour-intensive form of art that has secured India’s presence in millions of homes across the globe. Equally importantly, this sector constitutes the only industry in the country that provides low cost, green livelihood opportunities to millions of families, supplementing incomes in seasons of agrarian distress, checking migration and preserving traditional economic relationships. With women contributing the majority of pre- and post-loom labour and accounting for over 50% of artisans in the country, and a significant mass of weavers/artisans consisting of scheduled castes, schedules tribes and religious minorities, this sector also represents the economic lifeline of the most vulnerable sections of our society. Over the decades, the situation of most weaver’s has deteriorated into a pitiful state, as weavers face increased poverty, hunger, health issue and inability to provide for their families. There is a high level of tuberculosis and malnutrition leading to depression and in some cases, suicide. Weavers also lack accession to public health centres due to severe operational and logistic constraints. The present project intends to highlight the forms of poverty and deprivations prevalent among the handloom weavers of Western Uttar Pradesh.

Abstract:

Handlooms are environment-friendly technology as they require no energy in operation except for the machinery that spins the yarn. The handloom sector plays a strategic role in the upliftment of the rural economy of India, with its attractive products shows dexterity and artistic ability of the weavers. Even today, the rural people of India mostly women grossly depend on the handloom which requires minimum capital and less technical skills. The present study is an attempt to develop diversified hand-woven furnishing products that require less time to produce and can have ever-growing market potentials. Different unique and peculiar products were developed by amalgamated woven designs and products were evaluated to assess the consumer acceptability. The study revealed that design innovation has a tremendous effect on consumer choices. Among the developed designs, design no. 3 and 10 got highest (2.96) WMS followed by design no. 6, 11, 12 (2.92) and design no. 1 (2.90), respectively in different developed products. It was found that a healthy handloom industry requires a broad and varied product range, design intervention, and appropriate marketing mechanisms for higher marketability. Hence, the study can help the weavers of Assam towards a new perspective of value-added products for their sustainable livelihood.

Abstract:

The handloom industry is one of the oldest industries in the world. From the earliest times it has been seen as a profession intertwined with human life. Manpower is seen as more essential than capital to the handloom industry. As a result, the industry is gaining ground in more populous countries where man power is readily available. As far as Sri Lanka is concerned, most of the people living in rural areas are engaged in weaving here. Nowadays, however, weavers encounter many problems, and challenges. In the Maruthamunai, handloom industry has been chosen to explore this, explore the challenges, and issues they face. Based on this, this study aims to identify ways to improve this industry. In addition, the sub-objective is to identify the problems in advancing the weaving or handloom industry, and to come up with solutions. Field visit, observation, interviews, and questionnaire were the primary data collection method of the study. The questionnaires were distributed in random sampling method to 638 handloom small scale weavers among 8 Grama Nilathari Divisions of Maruthamunai, in order to achieve the sub objective of the study.

Abstract:

Abstract The concept of globalization appeared in the Indian subcontinent in 1991. With the onset of liberalization, privatization and globalization a new chapter has been opened up in the Indian economy and her billion plus population. The Hugli district is one of the most renowned names in the handloom industry of West Bengal and a good percentage of people are engaged in this heritage industry. The study is conducted in five handloom clusters of the district, namely – Dhaniakhali - Somaspur, Begumpur, Haripal, Rajbolhat and Balagar. The main objectives of this paper were to investigate the effects of globalization on the rural handloom weaver community, in terms of their economic and social conditions. At the same time the article intends to analyse the changes in the over all production scenario of the handloom industry in the district due to modernization. It can be said that the handloom industry of the Hugli district is suffering from some inherent problems like low productivity, lack of product diversification and problems related to procuring raw materials. The co-operative sectors are indifferent to enlarging their market sphere. Though there are plenty of efficient and skilled weavers but they are only doing their traditional practices, the adoption of modern techniques is significantly poor among the weavers. Therefore the new generations are totally unwilling to accept weaving as their main occupation because of the uncertainty of the industry. The article also suggests some strategies to make this ever challenging industry globally competitive, such as, the identification of modern trends, promotion of exports, market assessment so that this heritage industry can cope with the modern trends and utilise the benefits of globalization.

Abstract:

When Marx in 1853 denounced the exploitation of India under British rule and wrote of ‘The British intruder who broke up the Indian handloom’ he laid the foundation for an economic critique which has endured to the present day. In the twentieth century, the fate of the Indian handloom weaver has been at the center of the controversy over the concept of the ‘deindustrialization’ of India on which there is now a substantial body of literature. Did the handloom industry collapse in face of competition from manufactured British imports as proponents of this thesis contend? Or were the handloom weavers able to survive the competition and at least retain (and, as has recently been argued, perhaps even improve) their position, as demand for cloth rose with risingper capitaincome, the fall in cloth prices was offset by the cheaper price of machine-spun yarn, and the handloom weavers diversified into higher-valued products and adopted new technologies? This paper is intended as a further contribution to this debate. It examines what happened to the handloom industry in one part of India (the region that from 1861 was called the Central Provinces) over a period of roughly one hundred and fifty years. It is in four parts. The first part studies the changes that occurred in the nineteenth century as British power spread throughout the subcontinent. This is the period when deindustrialization is said to have occurred to a significant extent.

Abstract:

The handloom sector in India has been a very important source of livelihood to a large number of people since ancient times which attained its peak during the Mughal period owing to the practice of flexible manufacturing system at that time. The sector saw its decline during the British period as a consequence of their unfavourable policy. In present times this sector again assumes special significance in the light of launching ‘Make in India’ campaign by our hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi. It is believed that handloom sector may significantly contribute to the generation of output, employment and export earnings in our economy by transforming this sector to create enough space for those seeking better and decent work opportunities in our economy. Using secondary sources of data an attempt has been made in this paper to present an overview of this sector and examine various problems faced by this sector and different programmes and policies of the government of India for encouraging and promoting this sector.

Abstract:

The handloom is a traditional craft work of India and it provides employment opportunities to lakhs of people in the rural and urban areas of our country. In the world women constitutes approximately 50% of the total population but society is still male dominated one. In India women contributed substantially to the economic growth of the country.The relationship between gender and the economy has considerable importance in Indian society. In general attitude of the people women are second grade citizens and they are makers of food, pickles, papads, masalas etc,. But their role is very important in every economic activity, either it is household work or cultivation or industry or service sector etc,. Like the other sectors the role of women weavers is very much important in handloom sector. Handloom sector is unique in India. The handloom weaving is household profession, followed by generations. In these households, women play an important role. Handloom sector is the only manufacturing sector in which women producing for women.

Abstract:

Handloom industry is the most important cottage industry in Bangladesh but many of the handloom weavers are in vulnerable situation. Poverty and food security are intricately interlinked and it should be analyzed in different dimensions. This study was conducted to assess the calorie intake level, determine the factors influencing calorie intake and identify the problems faced by the handloom weaver households in a selected area of Bangladesh. A sample size of 100 households was selected randomly from six villages. Data were collected through field survey by using pre-designed and pre-tested interview schedule. To assess the per person per day calorie intake level of the sample household's members, the food consumption data of seven days was measured by standard value of 100 gm each food item. To determine the factor influencing calorie intake multiple regression analysis was carried out. Calorie intake level and food consumption scores were used to measure poverty and food security. According to calorie intake level 15 percent of the handloom weavers belonged to hardcore poor whose average calorie intake was 1698.13 k.cal, and 46 percent weaver belonged to absolute poor whose average calorie intake was 2078.36 k.cal, and the rest 39 percent of the respondents belonged to non-poor whose average calorie intake was 2251.77 k.cal. Food consumption scores unveiled that 6 percent weaver households had poor food consumption while 39 percent weaver households had borderline food consumption; 31percent had acceptable low food consumption and 24 percent weaver households had acceptable high food consumption. Income of the household and cultivable area have positive impact on calorie intake of the household's members. Among the reported problems low wage rate was ranked the main problem faced by the handloom weavers. Bangladesh Handloom Board, government and non-government organizations, and institutions can take specialized policies for handloom weavers to reduce poverty and strengthen food security. J.

Abstract:

AbstractAnalyses of capital-labour relations in Indian industry during the colonial period have generally been confined to studies of large-scale units. This essay turns to an examination of the organization of the workplace among handloom producers in the Bombay Presidency during the period between 1880 and 1940. While recognizing the importance of contradictions between weaving families and various kinds of capitalists, the essay eschews any straightforward model of “proletarianization” to characterize this relationship. Weavers possessed methods of resistance, particularly “everyday” actions, which thwarted efforts to impose tight regimes of labour discipline within the workshop. Seeking to contain these resistances, shahukars (putting-out merchants) and karkhandars (owners of establishments using wage labour) developed complex social relationships with their workers based upon patronage, debt, and caste. Consequently, collective protest in the industry was limited, and when it did emerge in Sholapur during the later 1930s, it was highly conditioned and constrained by the multiple lines of affiliation weavers had with karkhandars.

Abstract:

The Indian subcontinent is known in the sector for its diversity in art and its cultural history. It's a very labour-intensive cottage-based decentralized industry, portraying the Indian way of existence that is fond of aesthetics, lifestyle, and sculpture. In India, the textile industry provides direct and indirect employment to millions of people, after the agriculture sector. At the time of determining aesthetic features of fashion products, the motifs, being an integral part of design, play a crucial role. Motif is the most primary unit of a design pattern or the smallest unit. Motifs are repeated in numerous ways to create styles; those patterns are repeated to create a layout. In a pattern or layout, the motif has its personal awesome identity. Generally, every motif is formed from simple layout elements that create various forms of designs, which include geometrical, summary, naturalistic and so forth. The choice of motifs may be inspired through diverse resources, which include nature, and also are intently related to the triumphing natural, cultural, religious and socio-monetary factors in any society. A contemporary look focuses on exploring numerous traditional textile motifs used throughout the Indian subcontinent. Furthermore, a number of famous and maximum commonplace motifs have been advanced through the use of computer-aided designing software programs. In this research article we have presented an overview of the traditional handloom textile application in India.

Abstract:

The Handloom Industry plays a vital role in the socio – economic structure of Assam in terms of providing employment and production of clothes. At the same time preserve and propagate the rich cultural heritage of Assam. Weaving in Assam is as old as human civilization itself and the art of weaving are being passed from one generation to the next. The existence of high-quality weaving skill and production of fine textiles is well documented in great epics like Mahabharata and ancient treatise like Arthashastra1of Kautilya (Choudhry, 1987). Chinese traveler Hiuen Tsang also gives rich description of existence of high-quality weaving products and their general liking of the Royal family and the nobility. Writing is the early 19th century, before the British annexed Assam, Francis Hamilton2 has given an accurate account of the state of weaving in Assam (Sarma, 2012). This Industry was directly patronized by the state, so much so that queens established weaving schools in the palace, to teach the art of weaving to the daughters of the noble widows and other female members of the household of executed prisoners were also employed by the art for spinning and weaving as a means of subsistence. The neo – vaishnavite movement of the Shri Sankardev was an equally potent force in the development in the art of weaving, especially of figured cloth. After annexation of Assam by the British3, the Handloom industry declined rapidly particularly in cities. Another British policy of de – industrialization of Assam, instead of export of cotton clothes and silk products, Assam became export of raw cotton and cocoon to fuel the Industrial Revolution in Britain. Despite, dwindling of textile weaving like all other arts with the fall of the Ahom rule, it never became extinct as many other branches of Assamese art. It is still a living art as much in demand as it had been in the medieval period (Goswami, 2012)

Abstract:

Employing more than three million people, handloom weaving is one of the largest economic activities after agriculture. It constitutes 15% of the cloth production in India and 95% of the global handmade fabric. However, the return on investment in the sector remains low and the industry is under constant threats from power-loom and other substitutes. Nonetheless, the Sambalpuri Ikat is an unrivalled example, which has flourished over the years because of a series of innovations diffused by the weavers without compromising on the traditional Ikat artistry. Predominantly consisting of micro-enterprises, this cluster demonstrates that technological innovations have enhanced the income of the weavers by more than 300%, and ensured better occupational health and gender equity. The cluster ecosystem has enabled the adoption of innovations in more than 8,000 units, over 13 years. This article highlights learning from the Bargarh Sambalpuri Ikat Handloom cluster on how a traditional cluster could maintain its growth trajectory despite being threatened by several shocks and challenges.

The loom industry is the traditional industry in Bangladesh. It is situated especially in rural areas. Many weavers are working in the handloom industry. The study aims to determine the prevalence rate of musculoskeletal pain and its associated factors. This study is a cross-sectional study, including openended and close-ended questionnaires. Two hundred fifty (250) handloom weavers have participated in this study. Frequency analysis and Chi-square test were done by R software. A total of 82.4% of weavers have musculoskeletal pain. Among them, 50% have lower back pain, 48.4% have shoulder pain, and 46.4% have knee pain. Some factors are associated with those pain. Age of respondents and number of working days are associated with lower back pain and shoulder pain. Only age is associated with thigh, ankle and elbow pain. Types of treatment that weavers have taken are associated with arm pain. The weavers with musculoskeletal pain are mostly illiterate and have not taken physical exercise. Notably, 67.2% of weavers have taken treatment, and 21.6% of the participants reported that they have improved upon the treatment. Among those who have taken treatment, only 21.6% of weavers have got improved. As the highest portion of weavers has musculoskeletal, proper knowledge should be implemented for them and need to improve their quality of life. Bangladesh government and any Non- Governmental Organizations (NGOs) or institutions should implement consciousness about musculoskeletal pain.
