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.

[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.

  • Handloom and Handicrafts: Development and Constraints
    CHAPTER - VII HANDLOOM AND HANDICRAFTS: DEVELOPMENT AND CONSTRAINTS Orissa has one of the richest traditions of handloom and handicrafts in the country, which goes back to the time of antiquity. The ancient rock-cut caves and beautiful stone carvings engraved in the temples of medieval Orissa provide a glimpse of the rich tradition of crafts, art and sculpture in the ancient past. The traditional crafts like wood and stone carvings, tie and dye weaving textiles, folk and patta paintings, applique, filigree and jewellery work had flourished side by side with royal patronage and ritualistic needs of the temples in the state. In a poor and industrially backward state like Orissa, these traditional industries like handloom and other popular handicrafts such as stone carving, wood carving, silver filigree, applique, patta painting, coir, dhokra casting, bell metal works, etc hold considerable promise for economic empowerment and provide gainful employment to the technically little qualified, less educated and emaciated poor in the rural non-farm sector. It is found that next to agriculture, handloom and handicrafts sector is the major provider of employment to the people in Orissa. Apart from that, handloom and handicrafts products of Orissa are appreciated all over the country and outside because of exquisite designs, natural motifs and superb colour combination. These traditional craft industries of Orissa have, however, historically passed through many stages of ups and downs. In post-independence India when the planners and policy makers took to the path of modern industrialisation to accelerate the pace of economic development in the country in a mixed economy frame of state centred planning, they could rightly realise the importance of traditional industry sector such as handloom and handicrafts.

The study of Place-names with a distinguished past plays an important role in linguistic, archaeological and historical research. As an interdisciplinary study of place-names, research takes into account historical folkloristic, linguistic, geographical and ethnological data.Place-names thus reflect not only physical characteristics of the place, but also characteristics of the people who live there; they may provide insights into cultural, linguistic, historical habits and spatial, environmental perception. Place names provide a valuable source of information for the study of human civilization and culture. Some of the important areas of study which come under this subject may be mentioned, the place names embody important material for the reconstruction of history. The maps which remain on our maps can supply us with traces of history of nations that have left us no other memorials. The temple and other institutions of India throw considerable light on their ancient past. But there are some nations which have no records or monuments. The knowledge of their history and migration can be recorded from a study of their place names. Place names have something to tell us about the religious beliefs and rituals. Further quite a few names throw some light on the belief in supernatural beings i.e., Gobindapur, Mangalpura, Ramadega etc. Place-names give information regarding castes, tribes, race and profession of the people. Such place names known as Ethnographical place-names.
