HANDLOOM TRAINING PROGRAM AT RAMNAGAR IN VARANASI
|
 Sewa
International started 10 months Handloom training program. This program
was organized at the local office of Sewa International Bharat
Ramnagar, Varanasi. In This training program there were 20 weavers who
are presently working with Sewa International Bharat. These weavers had
quit their weaving 15 yrs back and those who are still engaged in the
profession are having the important fact that their work is not quality
based.
Through this training program our motive was to make weavers independent and in this program 15 weavers are benefitted.
This program was organized under 5 stages:-
- To provide better information about weaving from Master Weavers,
- To provide better information about designs from well known designers,
- To provide better information about dying and coloring with the help of Master Dyer,
- To provide better information about Market and to associate them with market,
- To make them aware about the recent programs started by government:
- Handloom Mark
- Silk Mark
- E-marketing

SUCCESS STORY
 My name is Radhe Yadav, 68years old occupant of Jalahiya tolla. I have been associated with Sewa international for one year.
I
was involved in weaving at the age of 13 now it’s been 55years I am
doing this work. Weaving was my family's traditional work, due to
financial crises my father involved me into weaving. That time this
business was very much needed demand and supply of product were also
very high. At the age of 22, I started my own weaving business I was
getting good income. My family condition was good. But After few years
government stopped all weaving business, due to which demand and supply
became less and gradually there was no work for us. Conditions was
becoming from bad to worst. We started searching for other job for our
basic necessities of life such as labor, construction worker, carpenter
etc. That period lingers on until we met Sewa international.
A
year ago we met with the team of Sewa International and they told us
about their project of “Kashi to Kutch” and they want to restart the
concept of weaving with some modern techniques with the weavers of
Varanasi.
Sewa international also provides training programs for our skill
development and to make us more efficient. Now we don’t have to go
anywhere else for work. We timely get payment of our work. We are very
satisfied with this project and our income, They came in our life as a
saving hand to provide us employment attributable to which our family
condition is also getting on improved.
