Northeast India's Handloom Sector Seeks Textile Revolution

Northeast India's Handloom Sector Seeks Textile Revolution

The Northeast region of India has a lot of people working in handloom (making cloth by hand).

The government wants to help this industry grow because it has the potential to become a big part of the country's textile business.

To do this, they need to help the workers with training, new technology, and ways to sell their products.

They also need to work together, make sure the products are good quality, and come up with new designs.

Assam, which is part of the Northeast, also has a silk industry that is struggling because of fake products and not enough skilled workers.
