The handloom industry continues to play an important role in the Indian economy, providing employment to 27.83 lakh households. Nearly 77 per cent of this workforce comprises women who are located in rural areas. This article is a study of Thenzawl handloom cluster in Mizoram, a remote corner of India’s north-east, which has become a model of entrepreneurship for underprivileged tribal women. The researchers undertook the mapping of Thenzawl handloom cluster and observed that of the 205 micro handloom enterprises operating there interestingly, 98 per cent of the entrepreneurs were women. The article also offers suggestions to initiate cluster development activities in the cluster to enable it to sustain their initiative and grow. | |
