Odisha weavers have preserved the great and beautiful art of handloom and carved a niche for themselves in the national market. Textile Department, Government of India will not only preserve this great heritage but also further try to make it a fashion statement in the international market.
“Only eight to ten countries of the world are enriched in the handloom sector. India certainly has the potential to create a special identity for them in the world arena in this field. For that, there is a lot of work to be done in the handloom sector. Odisha weavers are doing a great job in this respect.
Identity cards were presented to five weavers- Jayanti Sahoo, Rajani Patra, T Bharati, Bidyadhar Mahanta and Bhagaban Tanti to mark the launch of distribution of Pehchan Card on PAN India basis. Nishamani Sahoo, Jayanti Das, Rukuna Das, Mamata Chanda and Soubhagya Pal were presented with Yarn Passbook to mark the launch of distribution of Yarn Passbook on PAN India basis.
