Seeking to give a push to the production of famous Chettinadu Kandangi sarees, Tamil Nadu Government on Wednesday said it would take steps to help weavers and help them get silk threads.
“The government would take steps to increase the production of Kandangi sarees by weavers in the state. If they come forward, the government would source silk threads to them,” state Handlooms and Textiles Minister S Sundararaj informed the Assembly.
He was replying to a query by Karaikudi MLA Cholan C T Palanichamy during the Question Hour. Palanichamy wanted to know whether the government would set up a Silk Welfare Board in Karaikudi.
Minister Sundararaj also said that the government would source silk from Bangalore and Mysore, if weavers in the state were interested.
