Powerloom Development and Export Promotion Council (PDEPC) intends to target 500 powerloom units in the Northeast India, according to North East Co-ordinator of PDEPC, Ranjima Baruah.
While speaking at a one-day powerloom weaving awareness programme held at Sericulture Department at Sangaipat in Manipur, Mr. Baruah said that there are 413 powerlooms in the North-eastern States.
He urged the government to frame policies aimed at increasing the involvement of the youth in the craft, so as to boost the productivity as well as its popularity.
He stressed on the need to better equip the weavers with powerlooms and revealed that purchase of machines and looms by entrepreneurs and weavers are being subsidised to the extent of 30 percent under the North East Industrial Investment Promotion Policy of the Central Government.
