The State government has decided to hold week-long celebrations starting from August 7, coinciding with National Handlooms Day.
Industries and IT Minister K.T. Rama Rao, who reviewed the functioning of the handlooms and textiles department with senior officials on Tuesday, announced a decision to this effect and directed the officials concerned to make arrangements. Officials were instructed to come up with plans for organising different programmes across the State with particular focus on areas central to handloom weavers.
