The Indian Government had announced August 7 as the National Handloom Day to mark the 100th anniversary of the Swadeshi Movement, which started in 1905.
National Handloom Day was first observed in 2015 in the country and the day was organized by PM Modi in Chennai. The purpose was to make the citizens of the country aware of the rich history of Indian handloom as synthetic fabrics have taken over the textile industry in the present era.
The handloom sector in India has been an important source of livelihood, particularly for women who form around 70% of the weavers or the allied workers in the sectors.
National Handloom Day is celebrated to recognize the efforts that are put in to continue an essential part of India’s cultural heritage and to honour the handloom community of the country.
