Abstract
"The present study was conducted in Dharwad district of Karnataka
state during 2000 with the objectives to know the origin of different
handloom cotton textiles, to identify prevailing weaving techniques, to
workout economics of weaving and to study the marketing channels for
handloom cotton textiles. The sample comprised of 120 weavers selected
randomly from four villai^es of Dharwad district namely, Garag, Hebballi^
Hebasur and Uppin Betageri. The respondents were interviewed
personally. The results levealed that about 75 per cent of the weavers
were working in co-operative societies and 25 per cent of the weavers were
working independently. Majorit}' of the weavers had education upto
primary level and belonged to nuclear family having medium annual
income. About 61.62 per cent of weavers selected weaving due to lack of
job opportunities. All th( co-operative societies purchased raw material
from KVIC and independent weavers purchased from local dealers.
Majority of the independent weavers engaged in the production of chawali.
Most of the independent weavers obtained their designs from elder people
and two co-operative societies obtained their designs from KVIC. All the
co-operative societies and independent weavers faced the problem of delay
in transportation while procuring raw material and they sold their
product in show room and outside state. Most of the independent weavers
sold their goods in their own residence and doing door to door service. It
was observed that all the three co-operative societies sold their product
monthly. About 80.00 per cent of the independent weavers sold their
product on market day. All the three co-operative societies sold their
goods to wholesalers. None of them sold to middlemen."
