Shortlisted Top 12 Entry suitable solution improving quality

Balaramapuram is an important hub for weavers. Ravikrishna Textiles act as both a manufacturing and a retailing unit for handloom weaving. The weavers only earn about 200/- on an average after a full day’s work. Moreover, the workpace has no proper ventilation making the room hot. They also have no work during the monsoon due to poor floor nsulation.

“With this project, we wish to bring attention to the handloom weaving community as a whole. With the solutions we proposed in this particular site, we wish to address the major problems of the handloom weaving community everywhere, and hopefully bring ideas that can be implemented there as well, thereby improving their living, working and financial conditions.”
