GI Tag Boosts Kuppadam Silk Sales by 30 Percent

Kuppadam silk sarees are special clothes made by hand in a place called Chirala.

A special label called a GI tag was given to these sarees, which proves they are made in that area.

Because of this label, more people want to buy them, and sales have gone up by about 30 percent.

The Chief Minister of the state, N. Chandrababu Naidu, came to visit the weavers.

He started a program called Nethanna Sevalo to help handloom workers, on the day that celebrates handloom weaving.

The government gives weavers free power and money to help them.

One workshop owner plans to build more rooms and buy more looms to give jobs to more weavers.

An old woman named Pushpavathi, who is 90 years old, wanted to meet the Chief Minister, so he visited her and took a photo with her.

Everyone was happy that the weavers' work is getting more attention and support.
