Detailed Description

The project is about the future of handlooms in India. The handloom industry has faced critical times due to the invasion of mechanised looms and decline in demand, but to convert this sunset industry to a sunrise industry, few of the young enthusiasts have put in their efforts to revive the craft and preserve the knowledge. The aim of the project is to communicate their ideas, work and journey in a book and appreciate them.
