Weavers Empowerment

SIDUR as part of its development work took up rehabilitation of bonded labourers in the sector of textiles and handlooms. The rehabilitation measures included supply of yarn To the weavers enabling them to produce their own material and sell the weaved material directly to the purchases. This programme was started in 1997 and ended in 2002 in Chirala, 250kms from Hyderabad.

The entire project was executed in the area of a 11 acre land has become the model township. 300 families of weavers were identified who were leading a semi-bonded life with the master weavers. The next step was to build them house cum work sheds totaling 200 houses, another 100 such sheds were built by the people themselves with the required help from SIDUR trading was channelised and two cooperatives societies were also set up.
