12 | Major problems/prospects | The mindset of the weaving community is highly disturbed. Their very survival is at stake. Tough competition from power looms The traditional method of manufacturing is only followed despite ever changing market. The aged weavers are not ready to change the varieties to earn more wages No proper linkages with designers or textile institutions. There is no innovation in the handloom sarees and so the market is shrinking every year. Absence of designer for the societies with technical skills Lack of approved dyers in Trichy |
