Imphal, May 26 2021:
Manipur Handloom and Handicraft Development Corporation (MHHDC) chairman S Achouba distributed looms, sewing machines, electric spinning wheels and several other inputs to weaver beneficiaries of Irom Meijrao Mamang Leikai, Irom Meijrao Maning Leikai, Wangoi Makha Leikai, Wangoi Wahengbam Leikai and Paobitek Muslim areas under Wangoi assembly constituency on Wednesday.
According to Achouba, the materials were made available to the beneficiaries with the hope of providing income generating opportunities to the weavers during this Covid related restriction period.
Handloom and handicraft can be adopted by both men and women and they do not need to worry about marketing their products as the Corporation will buy their products from their homes, he said.
He also provided face masks, hand sanitisers and handloom handkerchiefs to the beneficiaries and urged them to strictly follow the Covid relevant SOPs laid down by the government.
