Inspired by a robust economic performance of Jammu & Kashmir, FICCI has proposed to build up investment scenario in Handicraft and Handloom of state.
The state can attract investors in this sector by setting up spinning mills to spin bulk quantity of good quality yarn, establishing dyeing, calendaring and finishing facilities for woolens, and marketing of fashionable items like pashmina shawls and accessories.
FICCI opined that productivity of weavers should be improved by enhancing their skills. Weavers should also be provided with more efficient looms & other related equipment.
State should widen market access of the handloom products produced by weavers.
