The document discusses threats facing the handloom sector in India such as urbanization, technology gaps, low productivity and financial needs. It notes that handloom weaving is confined to below poverty levels and there are few success stories. However, handlooms can preserve tradition and employ over 43 lakh weavers. New measures are needed for the overall social welfare of handloom weavers. These include enhanced marketing subsidies and international exhibitions to promote genuine handloom manufacturers. A focus on product development, innovation, technology upgrades and incentives can help ensure sustainability of the handloom sector.
