7th National Handloom Day

7th National Handloom Day will be celebrated on Aug 7 2021 in honour of handloom weavers/workers & their unique contribution to socio-cultural development of the country.

Handloom is an important source of livelihood in rural & semi-rural parts of our country. It is a sector that directly addresses women’s empowerment with over 70% of all weavers & allied workers being female. Rooted in nature, it has eco-friendly production processes with minimal requirement of capital and power & provides inherent flexibility to innovate to meet changes in fashion trends & fast-changing customer preferences. #NationalHandloomDay
