Annamayya District Joint Collector Tamim Ansaria said that the State government was working for the development of weavers by introducing welfare schemes for them.
The Joint Collector was speaking after kick-starting a handloom walk in celebration of the eighth National Handloom Day under the auspices of the Handloom and Textile Department at Government Junior College grounds in Rayachoti on Sunday.
The Joint Collector said the slogan for the rally was: “Let’s give handloom clothes our patronage as they give a real identity to our existence.”
