The Telangana government is implementing the "Chenetha Abhaya Hastham" scheme for the welfare and comprehensive development of handloom and power loom workers in the state.
Under this scheme, several initiatives, including Telangana Netanna Podupu (Weavers' Savings Fund), Telangana Netanna Bhadratha (Weavers' Insurance), and Telangana Netanna Bharosa
(Weavers' Security), are being executed.
An amount of ₹37.49 crore has been released this year under the 10% Yarn Subsidy, covering pending payments for power loom workers from 2018 to 2022. To further support weavers, the government has set up a yarn depot in Rajanna Sircilla and Vemulawada with a ₹50 crore corpus fund.
