(b) Exposure visit by powerloom<br />
weavers to other clusters :<br />
The powerloom weavers from the clusters<br />
<strong>of</strong> low level technology are not exposed to<br />
other areas <strong>of</strong> manufacturing to be able<br />
to produce diversified textile products<br />
or value added fabrics due to limited<br />
knowledge.<br />
With a view to overcome such deficiency,<br />
the powerloom weavers in different<br />
clusters, are being taken to other developed<br />
clusters to become familiar with the working<br />
upgraded skills, the products manufactured<br />
and the marketing techniques adopted in<br />
those clusters. The concerned Regional<br />
Offices assist the powerloom weavers<br />
during the exposure visits and facilitate<br />
effective and meaningful interaction. The<br />
financial assistance is also being provided<br />
by the Government <strong>of</strong> India to meet the<br />
expenditure arising out <strong>of</strong> these visits.<br />
During 11 th Plan(2007-08 to Oct.2011),<br />
total 2367 workers visited the developed<br />
powerloom clusters and Govt. has paid<br />
the fund <strong>of</strong> Rs.0.58 Crore for travelling and<br />
incidental expenditure to workers.<br />
