To support the weavers, the Telangana State Government will set up a mini textile park at Kodakandla in Warangal. The initiative is expected to ensure job opportunities for around 20,000 weavers’ families.
As per the Industries Minister of the State, K.T. Rama Rao, Kodakandla has been selected for its easy availability of work force.
The minister said, “Scores of skilled weavers are available in the area and they migrated to other States due to absence of employment opportunities.”
The Minister also assured that the ongoing welfare schemes for weavers would continue uninterrupted.
It is important to mention here that the State Government is running some beneficial schemes for the weavers like the Cheyutha scheme, which helped weavers overcome the difficulties during the COVID-19 pandemic and the relaxations to the tune of Rs. 95 crore extended under the scheme assisted nearly 25,000 families.
He instructed the concerned officials to complete the report for allocations that were needed for handloom and textile sector in the next budget at the earliest.
