How to? Through Indigo Handloom.

The news of the handloom industry in India is grim, according to a recent article reported in The Hindu newspaper.

The cost of materials is going up, making it more difficult to produce fabrics.  Big businesses are creating big orders, but individual artisans cannot meet those demands, which go to machine production.  The young are attracted to construction jobs that pay more.

Will the Indigo Handloom business model help to preserve the very fabric of these communities?
