Challenges and Opportunities: Tribal Community and Handlooms in Uttarakhand, India

Abstract

The textile business in India is extremely fragmented and labor-intensive. Unorganized Sectors and small and medium industries dominate the textile industry. Foreign investors are not interested in investing in the textile industry, which is also a source of concern. The Governments policies in India and tax structure do not favour this business. The textile sector is extremely competitive, and the current environment necessitates enterprises benchmarking their products against the finest in the world and attempting to improve quality and manufacturing procedures. The study was proposed to provide information about the textile industry in India and to discuss the prospects, difficulties and recommendations for their upliftment with special emphasis on the Bhotiya community handlooms.
