12 | Major problems/prospects | Old / Obsolete technology, very few units are having Shuttless Loom. Under Utilization of Capacities due to lack of Orders & monopoly mechanization of the master weavers. Catering mostly Cost base Market. Association is Ineffective. Most of the Units i.e. 95% are engaged in Job Work only. No diversification of the Product as they are producing as per raw materials & design given by Master Weavers. All the 95% of the units are not having marketing knowledge/ financial knowledge / costing of fabric calculation. The advance looms owned by the units are not properly maintained by the owner/ weavers of units due to lack of technological knowledge for advance looms. |
