National Handloom Day 2021: Celebrate the vibrant and intricate weaves of India

Observed on 7th August, the National Handloom Day aims at&nbsp;creating awareness about the need to protect and promote handmade and&nbsp;handwoven&nbsp;weaves.&nbsp;

National Handloom Day 2021: Whether it is the colourful &ldquo;Bandhani&rdquo; textile from Gujarat or the intricate silk weave on &ldquo;Kanjeevaram&rdquo; sarees from Tamil Nadu, India is home to a variety of vibrant handloom weaves. The handloom sector is the second largest employer in rural India and acts as a testimony to India's rich and diverse culture.
But the skills of the handloom weavers and karigars will soon be lost and forgotten due to the prevalence and growth of power looms. In an attempt to create awareness, and to protect the handmade and the handwoven, the Union Government of India declared 7th August 2015 as the National Handloom Day.
But why the 7th of August? This day commemorates the Swadeshi Movement launched in Calcutta on August 7th in 1905 to boycott all foreign products and revive domestic produce.
Unfortunately, in the current day situation due to several factors, like poor infrastructure, inaccessibility to funds and prime locations with consumers, the handloom weavers are now slowly leaving the loom. This means that efforts need to be made on all levels of society to protect and promote handmade fabric and art.
The handloom sector is the most significant part of the cultural heritage of India and it cannot be lost in the pages of time. The need of the hour is to take steps to help revive and restore the handloom industry.

A research team at the Mechanical Engineering dept of IIT-BHU has developed a QR code that will be woven into handloom Banarasi sarees to confirm their authenticity.

Using modern technology to authenticate Banarasi sarees, the manufacturer will now weave a QR code into the saree&nbsp;to validate its credentials.&nbsp;

A research team at the Mechanical Engineering department of the Indian Institute of Technology, Banaras Hindu University (IIT-BHU) has developed a QR code that will be woven into handloom Banarasi sarees to confirm their authenticity. This will also give assurance to the customers about the quality of the&nbsp;saree and they will not get duped into paying a hefty amount for low quality copies.&nbsp;
The manufacturer can weave the QR code into the&nbsp;saree, containing relevant fabric and manufacturing details. The new technique of weaved QR code will include the Handloom&nbsp;Mark Logo, Silk Mark and the&nbsp;Banaras Geographical Indications (GI) logo, along with other relevant information.&nbsp;
It should be noted that the QR code will be incorporated into the extra fabric of the blouse. This will not affect the fabric strength, style and the look of the saree will remain intact. The code will also help local and foreign customers to differentiate between handloom products and power loom products, as per the researchers.
