On account of the decreasing popularity of Paithani sarees, weavers have diversified and also started the production of Paithani dress materials, scarves and other household items. There are very few weavers who still practice this art. Weavers are finding it difficult to reach break even, let alone making a profit. Many have shifted to other professions that are more monetarily rewarding.

To overcome these drawbacks, it is necessary that more innovative motifs be used in Paithani sarees. It has also become necessary to use a different fabric in these sarees so that a better drape can be achieved. Weavers are trying to make certain changes in the traditional Paithani saree so as to bring down the cost of production and hence, the price. Attempts are being made to make the process of production more capital intensive rather than labor intensive.

According to the weavers of these sarees, it is necessary that the government take some steps for the survival of this dying art. There is the need for better training facilities for weavers. There is also the need for financial assistance to the weavers.

The weaving of Paithani sarees is a tradition that is dying. It is time drastic steps are taken to save this fast dying tradition.
