J & K State Handloom Development Corp. Ltd.

The state’s traditional handloom weaving has, since centuries, developed a name for itself across the world. Apart from designs found specifically in the area, the raw materials are also produced within the state be it pashmina, silk or wool. Traditional handloom weaving has been a major source of employment for a significant part of the state’s workforce. In this spirit, the J&K State Handloom Development Corporation Ltd was incorporated in 1981 exclusively to undertake the promotion of decentralized handloom sector of the state and to implement centrally sponsored handloom projects initiated by the Government of India.
