India has a long tradition of excellence in making handloom products with extraordinary skills and craftsmanship. 44 lakh weavers are engaged in this activity, out of which 78% are women.

By the Handlooms (Reservation of Articles for production) Act, 1985, the Central Government has reserved articles or class of articles for exclusive production of handlooms for the protection and development of the handloom industry.
Further to this effort, the Ministry of Textiles launched “Handloom Mark” scheme with effect from 28.06.2006 for promoting and preserving the Indian handloom products and securing a premium position in the domestic as well as international market. This provides a collective identity to the handloom products of India for popularizing the hand woven products originating from the handloom sector. Thus, the Handloom Mark does not necessarily guarantee a bench mark quality for the product, but ensures only the origin of the product.

Though the weavers produce rich variety of designs and textures, there is not much emphasis on the quality of the product due to various reasons. Experience of implementing Handloom Mark in the past years indicate that this has served the limited purpose of production of cloth by handlooms and not been able to address the quality related parameters which are integral for development of handloom as a niche product.

It is stressed on the need to produce a fabric “with no defect and no effect on environment” and develop “Indian Handlooms” brand for assuring quality products meeting social and environmental compliances.

Indian Handloom Products have always been in great Demand across the world for centuries.
The problem now is that our Handloom Products are not being aggressively marketed outside India.
I would request the Government to help the Handloom weavers & manufacturers to Market the products outside India. A Board must be formed which ensures the poor Handloom weavers are able to market & export their products. Social Security & Affordable BANK Loans must also be provided to them.

I would draw attention of our FM on the matter of duplication in application of Service tax. For example Insurance sector, all insurance companies collect service tax on all insurance policies and then pay service tax to all vendors. While paying serive tax to vendors it claims setoff against earlier collector. hence there is no additional collection of Service Tax and lot of paper work on both ends. Hence my opinion to our FM is that service tax be collected only once for any sector.

Prime Minisiter should discourage inaugurations of government projects by any minisiter or chief minsister as there is unnecessary wastage of money and also many projects which get completed are lying unused as concerned ministers or chief minister are not able to give appointments due to crunch of time.

since construction is currently on at the DMRC Ashram Chowk site,
will it not be possible to have a pedestrian underpass across the
Ashram Chaowk junction, which will connect the
entrance to the Metro Station, along with a 24 hour open Sulabh Toilet,
since it is a very busy road intersection anyway?

Attestation with gazetted officer should be removed. This is just losing money from common man packet but nothing else as we pay money to get the sign. gazetted officer not always known to that person, officer may not have time to verify all those docs.
