CONCLUSION

The experience of visiting Begampur Indeed a fruitful one. The cluster development program indeed has taught us many things. It has given us exposure to learn about Begampuri sarees.

We gained the knowledge of adopting the Begampuri weaving in a contemporary way. We gained the knowledge about different dyeing process of the Napthol, Vat, Direct and Reactive dyes. We even got the opportunity to create sustainable designs for the seasonal market according to the trend forecast for the Begampuri saris. The workout altogether enabled us to learn costing, sourcing and marketing of the Products.

Though the Begampuri sarees look beautiful aesthetically it intakes a lot of labored hard work accompanied by the colour combination sense to develop and make a simple motif enhance its beauty through weaving. The motifs of the saris are not similar and are finely woven. Since they are very time taking as compared to the power loom sarees they are bit costly and are also in demand in domestic as well as the overseas market.
