Rural Innovations that Showed Light to Others

4. Handloom Weaving Machine

Modern weaving was dictating the country’s handloom sector, and it was slowly killing the traditional handloom techniques; but Assam’s Dipak Bharali never gave up the idea of traditional weaving and he was keen to invent a device that eases the laborious task of many of the silk weavers in town.

The handloom weaving machine consists of three components, namely, a base frame, magnet bearing shaft and unique bobbin. After implementing, it has improved the production rate up to around 60 percent, along with the reduction of time to weave by a third. For his outstanding effort, he won the 5th National Grassroots Innovation Awards in 2009.

Imagine if all these bright ideas from 250 million agricultural communities from 600,000 villages are properly nurtured and took upon seriously!
