The Charaka Women’s Multi-purpose Cooperative Society of Bheemanakone in Sagar taluk has launched “Pavitra Vastra Abhiyana”, a campaign to reach “sacred fabric” (as they call handloom products) to the public. The society took to campaign after returning ₹33 lakh sanctioned by the State government under the Pavitra Vastra Project. The campaign will cover many cities across Karnataka, seeking people’s support for the handloom products. The campaign, planned to span over three months, began at Ashok Pai Memorial Institute in Shivamogga on September 6. The society is displaying the products of its weavers attached to the All India Handloom Weavers’ Federation and those interested can purchase them as they travel across cities.
