Describe the production of fabric in India by various sectors. Why is it important for us to keep the mill sector loomage lower than the power loom and handloom.
It is important for us to keep the mill/sector loomage lower than power loom and handloom due to facts as mentioned below : In our country many artisans and weavers work independently along with the familly on handloom and powerlooms. Most of these people working on handlooms and power looms are poor. It is the only source of income for them. If the mill production is increased to meet the demands of the people then these weavers and artisans will suffer as their sales will be affected. Increase in mill production will lead largely to rural unemployment and decline in standard of living. Thus in order to provide more employment opportunities and regular income to these weavers, the loomage or the production of the mills must be kept lower than power loom and handloom.
