Like - according to the handloom weavers comprehension scheme, it is decided to provide all kind of health insurance facilities to the weavers and their families. The performance of this scheme is slow in effect and it has been successful in the micro level of handicraft sector.

In handicraft sector, 36% of weavers and workers are connected from the SC/ST level in which 60% part of population is women.
