"I, along with the ministry, have taken a mission to revive and rejuvenate the handloom tradition of India. The dimension of our new mission is to capture the space of handwoven textiles and crafts that nobody else can compete with, which is the uniqueness and high value cloth. This will support a large number of weavers in India," Kumar told reporters post the first show of the second day of fashion gala that is dedicated to Indian handloom and textiles.
