The major component of the IHDS scheme includes formation of Self Help Groups (SHGs), setting up of Yarn Depots, trainings for Design Development, Product Diversification & skill upgradation as well as support for publicity and marketing through fairs, exhibitions and buyer-seller meets.
The implementation of IHDs scheme over a period of three years in the state of Bihar aims, at covering 4000 weavers and their dependents . Through various initiatives it is expected that the gross trade turnover of individual weavers shall increase from current estimated value of Rs. 30 crores, to Rs. 75 crores in a time frame of 3 years. The current buyer seller meet is a stepping stone in this direction.
