    Bringing Design Perspective in Handloom Cooperatives of Odisha: A Case Study
    (IOSR Journal Of Humanities And Social Science (IOSR-JHSS), 2020) Aggarwal, Prof. Monika
    Handloom is the oldest known form of making cloth by hand. It represents a very early stage of cloth production. Handloom is now the source of livelihood to several millions of artisans and their families all over the world. Handloom products are not merely merepieces of decoration but also they symbolize the cultural ethos and the aspiration of generations of people to preserve the best part of their culture and civilization. The handloom industry of Odisha is quite famous for its age-old tie and dye work. The present situation of handloom weaving calls for in depth exploration to bring design perspective in their approach. Handloom weavers, in their ndividual capacity, being small unorganized, and scattered, are unable to secure even the bare minimum work needed by them on fair and reasonable terms. This called for organizational support, which could bring them all the advantages of the economies of scale; and protection from middlemen. It is primarily for this reason that weaver‟s co-operative societies had been organized in the country. Co-operatives however face problems from time to time and govt. has assisted them by introducing schemes and new supportive policies. While proper management has gained a great degree of acceptance as a problem-solving tool in this sector, design is never seen as an important element in the development & viability of handloom co-operatives. A better understanding of the problems and their solutions may be achieved through a design-oriented approach when clubbed with the existing interest in management and marketing approaches. This case emphasizes design as a major input which could help the co-operative structure to achieve its potential. Design should be integrated into the development perspectives adopted by the Handloom Co-operatives of Odisha.

    Sambalpuri Handloom Weavers’ Livelihood: An Analysis of Western Odisha Clusters, India
    (SAGE Publication, 2021) Das, Tushar Kanti
    The study aims to examine the livelihood of Sambalpuri handloom weavers of Western Odisha, India. By using the primary field survey data and analysing both the qualitative and quantitative data, it presents the socio-economic conditions of the weavers. A binary choice model is used to analyse the livelihood of weavers. The analysis shows that although the price of the product is quite high, almost all the weavers are not satisfied with the amount of the emoluments that they receive. The middleman plays a critical role in marketing. But the actual benefits from marketing the Sambalpuri handloom products are going to middleman rather than weavers. It recommends making necessary policies both by the central as well as the state governments to rescue these handloom weavers.

    Innovation for Economic Resilience and Sustainability: A case study of Sambalpuri Ikat Handloom Cluster of Bargarh in India
    (SAGE Publication, 2021) Agasty, Sangeeta; Tarannum, Fawzia; Narula, Sapna A
    Employing more than three million people, handloom weaving is one of the largest economic activities after agriculture. It constitutes 15% of the cloth production in India and 95% of the global handmade fabric. However, the return on investment in the sector remains low and the industry is under constant threats from power-loom and other substitutes. Nonetheless, the Sambalpuri Ikat is an unrivalled example, which has flourished over the years because of a series of innovations diffused by the weavers without compromising on the traditional Ikat artistry. Predominantly consisting of micro-enterprises, this cluster demonstrates that technological innovations have enhanced the income of the weavers by more than 300%, and ensured better occupational health and gender equity. The cluster ecosystem has enabled the adoption of innovations in more than 8,000 units, over 13 years. This article highlights learning from the Bargarh Sambalpuri Ikat Handloom cluster on how a traditional cluster could maintain its growth trajectory despite being threatened by several shocks and challenges.
