National Handloom Day celebration on 7th August 2022

The handloom sector is a symbol of our country’s rich and varied cultural heritage.

Handloom is an important source of livelihood in rural and semi-rural parts of our country. It is a sector that directly addresses women’s empowerment with over 70% of all weavers and allied workers being female.

Rooted in nature, it has eco-friendly production processes with minimal requirement of capital and power, and provides inherent flexibility to innovate to meet changes in fashion trends and fast-changing customer preferences.

The Swadeshi Movement, which was launched on 7th August 1905, encouraged indigenous industries and, in particular, handloom weavers.

In 2015, the Government of India decided to designate the 7th of August every year as National Handloom Day.

The first National Handloom Day was inaugurated on 7 August 2015 by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Chennai.

On this day, we honor our handloom weaving community and highlight the contribution of this sector in the socio-economic development of the country. We reaffirm our resolve to protect our handloom heritage and to empower the handloom weavers and workers with greater opportunities.

The Government endeavors to ensure sustainable development of the handloom sector, thereby empowering our handloom weavers and workers financially and instilling pride in their exquisite craftsmanship.
