Textile industry has been a symbol of India's cultural heritage, which contributes a lot to the growth of Indian economy. It plays an important role in providing the employment to the rural and urban population in India and has worked to connect the people and played an important role in their economic interests. This sector is mainly divided into several disciplines at the unorganized level. It has made its identity as a cottage industry in every state of India. However, the weavers face a number of challenges which affect their livelihood and overall wellbeing like financial constraint, inability to purchase up-to-date machineries, poor working condition, meagre remuneration, health problem and the ignorance of government support. This results in dwindling wages and poverty, low productivity and pathetic economic conditions. Most of the workers are illiterate and do not know that what protective measures should be adopted for their jobs. Hence there is an urgent need of government support, electricity supply at low cost, and proper wage system to improve the conditions of the powerloom weavers.
