This was stated by association leaders M Ramachandra, K Mallesh and Bhimesappa in their representation to Handloom Minister Kollu Ravindra.
A polytechnic was sought in Textile and Handloom Technology at Yemmiganur to promote the industrial activity in the area and produce skilled labour needed for the industry.
