Handloom cooperatives will soon get an online platform to sell products and familiarise customers with authentic products. Industry sources said that discussions were held with the National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development (Nabard), which will support the programme. Sources said bulk of the products that now pass for handloom products are churned out in powerlooms. The online platform, expected to be up and running by Onam, will help customers realise the quality of handloom products. The platform will also help customers send their feedback. It will be launched on a pilot basis for handloom cooperatives in Ernakulam district before it will be extended to include all cooperatives in the State.More Related News
