Description To identify the problems of handloom weavers pert2ining to
production and marketing of Guntur, Gadwal and Venkataqiri
sarees.
2. To assess the impact of technical and financial assistance
on these handloom saree weavers.
3 . To study the difference on the impact of aesistanc~ between
the cooperative member weavers and non member weavers.
4. To suqgest ways and means to overcome these problems.
Guntur, Gadwal and Venkatagiri handloom saree producing
areas were selected for the study. 50 weavers from each area
we re selected. Out of them, 25 represent cooperative member we avers and the other 2 5 repr eEents non c ·:>operative mem'!Jerwe
avers. The weaver families were categorised into Small,
Me diu111 and !,arge size families ba~ed on number of member~ in
a family. A schedule was prepared and interview method was
followed for collecting the data. Out of these three areas, Gadwal cooperative society was
not giving any type of assistance t~ the handl oom weavers.
Venkatagiri and Guntur cooperative societies were implementinq
all types of schemes for the development of weavers. The
impact of institutional assistance on the weaver members of
cooperative society was comparatively less. The non beneficiaries
did not receive any help from these ~chemes which was
not due to paucity of funds, but because of their irregular
work with society or the society itself did not show interest
t:> undertake these measures. The we.avers have been receiving
the technical assistance from weavers' service centres through
their cooperative society. But ci1is facility of giving any
type of technical help was discontinued for the weaver~ from
recent years. Instead of this, the S·::>ciety prov ides technical
assistance in the form of new designs to the weavers. These
weavers• service centres also give training to the member
weavers in dyeing, printing, designing ·and weaving. The
results shown that only 4 members had undergone the training
programme. The weavers who had undergone abO\Te mentioned
traininq proqramme were facing financial constraints to make
modifications in their looms.
In Gadwal and Guritur areas, the c ·:>0perative member weaver~
were facing problems in procuring raw materials from the
society, ::-uch as inadequate uantity of ; materials, substandard
quality raw materials. The weaver~ ~ere als~ not
getting the wages in time. The member weavers in Venkatagiri area did not experience any type of these problems.The non member weavers did not have any major problems in their profession except with the low wages paid and the weavers were unhappy as they were not given any fre "dom in the
choice of designs It was evident that there was no impact of as~istanca
iiven by the cooperative society to the member weavers,
event hough they have more was _than the non member weavers.
It can be suggested that, the Government may take necessary
steps in implementing the suitable programmes for the
betterment of handloom weavers.
