Abstract
Development of family, society and ultimately the country depends upon the development of its female counterpart. Women are the indicator of society progress and prosperity. Besides the household task, women constitute a significant part of labour force mostly in informal sectors. While playing the role of wage earner along with the household chores their responsibilities and burden doubled and they have to exert themselves in between these twin roles.
The opportunities have been open for rural women in the field of “Durrie weaving”. The Handloom textile constitutes a timeless facet of the rich cultural heritage of India. It is an economic activity, which provides livelihood to the people. However, hereditary weaving-skills live on in many families in Rajasthan. The handloom durrie was considered a cheap substitute to cover the floor. So in the present study rural women were exposed to various micro-enterprises based on Chindi durrie weaving.
The objectives of the present investigation were to study the existing knowledge and indentify the training needs of rural women in the area of Durrie weaving and micro-enterprises based on Chindi Durrie weaving. An intervention information package was developed for imparting training to rural women. Impact of training was assessed through developed products on information empowerment of rural women in terms of skill development.
