Field assessment of a handloom weaving cluster
A field survey of small weavers to build the evidence for cluster development: finance, infrastructure, technology and access to markets.
The problem
Smaller weaving clusters lack finance, infrastructure, technology and links to markets, while better-known centres nearby draw most of the attention.
What we are doing
- A short weaver questionnaire and a key-informant sheet for master weavers and cooperative heads, written for people who are mid-work.
- Linked survey forms with validation and an offline option for low-connectivity areas.
- Survey first, proposal second: the field team collects the evidence before any recommendation goes to government.
