✓Who Is Eligible?

The National Handloom Development Programme is designed to support handloom weavers across India. The scheme welcomes handloom artisans and weavers who are engaged in traditional handloom weaving activities. While specific age limits and income criteria are not strictly defined in the basic scheme details, the programme typically focuses on working handloom weavers and artisans involved in the textile crafts. The scheme operates on an all-India basis, meaning eligible applicants can be from any state or region in the country. There are generally no specific caste or category restrictions, making it accessible to handloom workers from all backgrounds. The primary eligibility requirement is that you should be actively involved in handloom weaving or textile production. The scheme also adopts a cluster approach, which means weavers working in organized groups or clusters may receive enhanced support.
