Amidst the many weaves, handloom and weaving communities in East Godavari district, the village of Angara holds a special place. Jaya Siva Murty brings the story.
The process of weaving is a long and tough one, and many of the weavers here are in their 40s or are older. Involvement of the youth is lacking, he shares, adding that they prefer to take up other jobs instead. But the society does its bit to encourage whoever it can. Women weavers are encouraged, through various schemes, funds, and benefits. However, there is still scope for improvement shares Venkateswara Rao. “While we extend all benefits towards our community of weavers, it would be wonderful to have a good health scheme that gets them healthcare benefits as well.”
How to get there?
The four and half hour journey by road from Vizag touches Rajahmundry and then takes you to Angara via the Jonnada – Yanam river bund.
