PORVORIM
Tourism Minister and Porvorim MLA Rohan Khaunte inaugurated a Handloom Training Centre in Porvorim, which will provide training in Kunbi shawl/saree weaving to participants.
Under this initiative, women will be given a month-long training in collaboration with the Goa Handicraft Development Corporation.
Khaunte inaugurated the course at a function in the Vigyan Park auditorium at Porvorim.
Khaunte said it is important to give opportunities and necessary training to enable women start their own business.
“There is a huge demand for Kunbi shawls and sarees in the market. However, the market is affected by short supply. If women are trained with special courses and provided support, it’s possible to meet up the challenge of a growing market demand. Apart from this, women will also be trained to make yoga mats and other weaving materials too.”
