specific information about Akola printing. Ten Jackets designs were developed on paper to select the best five

Quilting, Patch work, Applique work, Hand embroidery and mirror work. A five point rating Performa and a
questionnaire was given to 20 market personals to find out acceptability and market potential of the developed
