Sircilla, the textile town of Telangana, witnessed a remarkable transformation in terms of livelihood opportunities to weavers as well as power-loom workers and infrastructure development within a span of nine years, said Industries and IT Minister K.T. Rama Rao said on Friday.
The weavers and power-loom workers, who reeled under miserable conditions due to the crisis in the power-loom sector because of the apathy of the rulers before Telangana’s formation, were now getting assured orders and sustainable income. Mr. Rama Rao attributed the change to BRS government’s unwavering commitment towards the welfare of weavers and its numerous initiatives to empower them.
He was speaking at the Telangana Formation Day ceremony, marking the start of the 21-day decennial celebrations of Telangana’s formation, in Sircilla, the district headquarters of Rajanna Sircilla district.
