 8th National Handloom Day on 7th August 2022

Ministry of Textiles is celebrating the 8th National Handloom Day on 7 August 2022, commemorating the Swadeshi Movement launched on this day in 1905. The National Handloom Day is observed annually to honour our handloom weavers and provide impetus to the handloom industry. Handloom is a symbol of o glorious cultural heritage and an important source of livelihood in India. This is one of the key sectors for women’s empowerment, as over 70% of all handloom weavers and allied workers are women.
