ISSUES AND CHALLENGES
ISSUES AND CHALLENGES
Weaver-members reduced in the house holds weaving shed
of the Primary Weavers Co-operative Societies.
Weaver-members wages is lower than the daily wages in
other sector of workers, i.e. Maximum wages earned by
weaver-members is Rs.80-100; Minimum wages for other
sector is Rs.300-400.
Production reduced due to old-age of efficient weavers. New
weavers is not available.
Even though handloom product liked by the public,
traditional handloom product not liked due to changing taste.
ISSUES FACED BY THE SOCIETY:
PONTEX trained the weaver-members for weaving in
different products, but the trainees are reluctant to continue
in the weaving sector.
National Handloom Development Corporation insists the
advance payment for yarn supply to avail 10% of hank yarn
subsidy.
Processing and printing gets delayed:
i) Due to power cut;
ii) Increase in the processing and printing charges and
cost of transportation;
iii)The dyeing & processing units are declining the
processing work due to court order relating to
pollutions and environmental factors.
ISSUES AND CHALLENGES
Fully depends on the supply orders of Government .
The rates of handloom cloths are more than the mill made
fabrics.
Heavy competition in the market
Financial problems:
i) Due to non-receipt of cloth sales dues from the
Government;
ii) Non-receipt of plan and non-plan funds from the
Government.
CHALLENGES OF THE SOCIETY:
iii) Due to non-receipt of supply orders from the Government
departments in advance.
iv) Production carried out by PONTEX in anticipation of the
future order and thereby the stock is accumulated and
simultaneously payment of interest to the Cash Credit Loan
is increased abnormally.
PONTEX frameloom products such as Bedsheets Towels,
Pillow Covers, Furnishings, Shirtings kerchieves, Napkins etc.
are in heavy demand in the market, whereas there is only
350 framelooms working, which is not sufficient to meet out
the actual marketing requirements. This is actually a big
challenge.
The pitloom varieties such as lungies and saree gada are not
in much demand, whereas 1000 pitlooms are working.
Conversion of pitlooms into framelooms is not possible due
to heavy workmanship involving in frameloom weaving.
Because of this reason the weavers are reluctant to
switchover to frameloom products.
