The Office of the Development Commissioner (Handloom), Government of India, is implementing the National Handloom Development Program and the Raw Material Supply Scheme to provide financial assistance to handloom agencies and workers. This would help them procure raw materials, upgraded looms and accessories, solar lighting units, constructworksheds, develop new products and designs, technical and common infrastructure, and market handloom products both domestically and internationally.
The government is also implementing the National Handicrafts Development Program and the Comprehensive Handicrafts Cluster Development Scheme to offer support in areas such as marketing, skill development, cluster development, direct benefits to artisans, infrastructure, and technology support.
While it has not established specific export targets due to the complexity of factors such as geopolitical situations, international market trends, market dynamics, and industry feedback, the Government continuously monitors export performance and takes various measures to boost textile exports.
