Kerala state government has come out with a revival package to bring back glory to its ailing traditional sector, Handloom. According to officials with the Directorate of Handlooms and Textiles, some 3,400 traditional weavers to be roped in during the initial phase will be assured work for 300 days.
The traditional weavers, who had been forced to go in search of greener pastures owing to lack of work and poor wages, would be wooed back and cooperative societies that closed shop would be persuaded to resume functioning.
