Handlooms from India are being pushed! There are ten additional Design Resource Centers in the works

17th August 2021, Mumbai:

The National Institute of Fashion Technology (NIFT) is establishing ten additional Design Resource Centres (DRCs) at Weavers' Service Centres to promote handlooms (WSCs). Kolkata, Chennai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Kannur, Indore, Nagpur, Meerut, Bhagalpur, and Panipat will host DRCs.

The Ministry of Textiles (MoT) said in a statement that these centers will construct and foster design-oriented excellence in the handloom industry, as well as make design repositories accessible to weavers, exporters, manufacturers, and designers for sample/product improvisation and development.

NIFT is establishing DRCs in all WSCs in a gradual way, where exporters, manufacturers, designers, weavers, and other stakeholders would have access to a huge collection of designs and materials.

The MoT has enlisted the help of NIFT because it is an MoT in-house organization, and handloom is a component of it. Furthermore, the handloom sector may benefit from NIFT's experience in fashion and design trends for better market access. In the WSCs of Delhi, Mumbai, Ahmedabad, Bhubaneswar, Guwahati, Jaipur, and Varanasi, DRCs have been established and inaugurated.
