In a major push to empower the handloom and textile industry, the Telangana government has announced the establishment of yarn depots in Sircilla and Vemulawada with a 50 crore corpus fund. This initiative aims to provide weavers with easy access to high-quality yarn at subsidized rates, reducing production costs and enhancing the competitiveness of locally crafted textiles.

The move is expected to bolster the traditional weaving communities in these regions, which have long been renowned for their intricate craftsmanship and textile heritage. By ensuring a steady supply of raw materials, the government seeks to create a sustainable ecosystem that supports the livelihoods of thousands of weavers while promoting Telangana’s rich textile legacy on a larger scale.

Further strengthening its commitment to the welfare of artisans and women’s empowerment, the state has also launched an ambitious scheme to provide two high-quality sarees annually to 64.7 lakh members of Self-Help Groups (SHGs) across Telangana. This initiative not only ensures a dignified livelihood for weavers but also strengthens the state’s commitment to preserving its handloom tradition.

The large-scale saree distribution program is expected to generate substantial employment within the textile sector, particularly benefiting small and medium-scale weavers. By integrating welfare with economic development, the Telangana government is positioning itself as a model state for textile and handloom promotion.

With these initiatives, Telangana is not just safeguarding its weavers but also reinforcing its status as a textile hub, blending tradition with progressive policy-making. As these efforts unfold, they are likely to set a benchmark for other states looking to strengthen their handloom and textile industries through sustainable and inclusive measures.
