[email protected] Dr. A. K. Das Mohapatra** Professor Dept. of Business Administration, Sambalpur University, Odisha, India. [email protected] Volume 8, Issue 8, 2020 http://aegaeum.com/ Page No: 134 AEGAEUM JOURNAL ISSN NO: 0776-3808 HANDLOOM IN ODISHA: AN OVERVIEW Abstract Handloom is an ancient cottage industry. In Odisha hand-woven fabrics have existed since beyond the reach of memory. This sector involves large number of artisans from rural and semi-urban areas, most of which are women and people from economically disadvantaged groups. Some of the strengths of this industry are availability of cheap and abundant labour, use of local resources, low capital investment, unique craftsmanship in manufacturing of the products and increasing appreciation by international consumers. It is important to note that despite such unique characteristics, the industry comprises a meager proportion of Indian exports in global market, thus calling for efforts to promote and channelize the offerings of the industry to tap its hidden potential. Therefore the present study has been undertaken with an aim to discuss the history of handloom in context to Odisha, its cultural importance, and contribution of handloom to the economic development of the weaving community of Odisha. Keywords: Odisha, handloom, weavers, economic development ***** 1: Introduction The glory and cultural vastness of Indian handloom industry has always been a topic of great discussion. Among all the beautiful handlooms having their regional importance, Odisha handloom is the one chosen for the present study. This study has been undertaken with an aim to discuss the history of handloom in context to Odisha, its cultural importance, and contribution of handloom to the economic development of the weaving community of Odisha. Textile of Odisha is a reflection of its cultural ethos with intricate weaves giving it an identity of its own. The thread work, motifs and vibrant colours make them rich and desirable to wear and flaunt by the admirers. ‘Odisha Ikat’ also known as “Bandha of Odisha”, is a resist dyeing technique. Since 2007, the “Bandha of Odisha” has been geographically identified. It is a process of tie-dying the wrap and weft threads, so that designs on the loom prior to weaving can be created. Because of its design process, it has been called “poetry on loom”. This process of weaving has remained speciality of Western and Eastern region of Odisha, produced by community groups called Bhulia, Kostha Asni and Patara. In western Odisha it is woven in Barapalli, Remunda, Jhiliminda, Mahalkata, Singhpalli, Sonepur, Patabhadi, Sgarpali, Tarabha, Birmaharajpur, Subalaya, Kendupali, Jaganathpali and Kamalapur of Bargarh and Sonepur district, are some of the prominent ones where these art of weaving is practised.

Saptapar is famously known as “Pasapalli”, attributed to Bargarh district in Odisha. An intricate pasaa (chessboard) pattern in contrasting colour is its most striking feature.

Districts of Sambalpur, Bargarh, Nuapada, Bolangir and Sonepur are also included in Western Odisha. Its boundless geographical area, showcase a great degree of cultural importance among the mass. The traditional Sambalpuri saree in its cotton and silk versions is a captivating fabric from the tribal belt of Odisha. Sambalpur- in the state of Odisha, India is famous for its Sambalpuri variety of cotton and silk sarees, using Ikat patterns or the tie-dye method in their making.

Apart from sarees western Odisha handloom also showcase some masterpiece in form of bed sheets, dhotis and dress materials. 2: Contribution of Handloom in Rural Economy Development of the Weaving Community in Odisha: Rural Economic Development is a sub set of development. Development means opening up something which is latent. Generally the term development implies a change that is desirable. But the desirableness depends on time, place, culture and societal objectives. It is impossible to think of a universally Volume 8, Issue 8, 2020 http://aegaeum.com/ Page No: 136 AEGAEUM JOURNAL ISSN NO: 0776-3808 acceptable definition of development. The term rural development means overall development of rural areas, to improve the quality of life of rural people. It includes the development of agriculture and allied activities, village and cottage industries, socioeconomic infrastructure, community services and facilities and the human resources in rural areas. It is a multidimensional concept. This term may be used as a phenomenon, as a strategy and as a discipline. Whatever it may be, for true meaning of rural development, at least three basic elements should be considered. These are: 1. Basic necessities of life – It includes food, clothes, shelter, basic literacy, health care, etc. 2. Self respect – Absence of self respect indicates lack of development. 3. Freedom – It includes political freedom, economic freedom and freedom from slavery. In a nut shell we may say that, rural development is a continuous process leading to sustainable improvement in the quality of life of rural people, especially the poor. The primary economic activity in the rural areas is mostly Agriculture. And it is also true that agriculture alone is not sufficient to improve the overall development of the state’s economy in general and in particular rural areas. Many economists and social scientists argue in favour of the development of labor intensive industries, more specifically rural cottage industries along with the development of agriculture. Handloom is one of the labour intensive industries and capital employed in this industry is low. More significantly it is true that these industries are run by the weaker section of the society. They are able to operate in a productive and profitable way if some measures are taken from the part of central and state government. Handloom sector plays an important role in the Indian economy in the context of employment generation and the economic development of India. Handloom units are also very important for welfare resources. People can organize these units to increase their income levels and quality of life. So these can help in reducing poverty in the state. According to the 4th All India Handloom Census, the total number of households in Odisha engaged in handloom activities (weaving and allied activities) is 63,223. This is an increase over the 3rd All India Handloom Census where the count was 41,000 (shown in Figure 1). The principal reason behind this increase may be attributed to the success of various initiatives undertaken by the Government of Odisha. Figure 1: Distribution of Handloom Worker Households 70000 60000 50000 40000 Distribution of Handloom 63223 30000 Worker Households 20000 41000 10000 0 2009-10 2019-20 2.1: Handloom workers in Odisha A broad profile of the handloom workers in Odisha has been drawn hereunder (a) by type of workers, (b) by nature of engagement, (c) by gender, and (d) by social groups as discussed below Volume 8, Issue 8, 2020 http://aegaeum.com/ Page No: 137 AEGAEUM JOURNAL ISSN NO: 0776-3808 (a) By type of workers: As per All India Handloom Census 3rd and 4th, Figure 2 shows the number of adult handloom workers based on the type of work they are involved in, i.e., weaving activities and allied activities.

Village industries and handlooms were well integrated into the rural economy and the whole organisation was a part and parcel of socio-cultural fabric of the society. The social traditions, ethos and values were reflected in the handloom products. The handloom products, which have survived against the competition from machine made cloth, represent the rich artistic traditions of our country. Globalised economy has contributed to the ever-increasing competition among the developing nations. Due to this, the traditional crafts of the country are under threat from the neighboring countries by way of replication of the traditional items.

  • Odisha As a Multicultural State: from Multiculturalism to Politics of Sub-Regionalism
    Afro Asian Journal of Social Sciences Volume VII, No II. Quarter II 2016 ISSN: 2229 – 5313 ODISHA AS A MULTICULTURAL STATE: FROM MULTICULTURALISM TO POLITICS OF SUB-REGIONALISM Artatrana Gochhayat Assistant Professor, Department of Political Science, Sree Chaitanya College, Habra, under West Bengal State University, Barasat, West Bengal, India ABSTRACT The state of Odisha has been shaped by a unique geography, different cultural patterns from neighboring states, and a predominant Jagannath culture along with a number of castes, tribes, religions, languages and regional disparity which shows the multicultural nature of the state. But the regional disparities in terms of economic and political development pose a grave challenge to the state politics in Odisha. Thus, multiculturalism in Odisha can be defined as the territorial division of the state into different sub-regions and in terms of regionalism and sub- regional identity. The paper attempts to assess Odisha as a multicultural state by highlighting its cultural diversity and tries to establish the idea that multiculturalism is manifested in sub- regionalism. Bringing out the major areas of sub-regional disparity that lead to secessionist movement and the response of state government to it, the paper concludes with some suggestive measures. INTRODUCTION The concept of multiculturalism has attracted immense attention of the academicians as well as researchers in present times for the fact that it not only involves the question of citizenship, justice, recognition, identities and group differentiated rights of cultural disadvantaged minorities, it also offers solutions to the challenges arising from the diverse cultural groups. It endorses the idea of difference and heterogeneity which is manifested in the cultural diversity.
