Speaking to the weavers from Ponduru, Nirmala Sitharaman said, “Khadi productivity has increased from Rs 9,000 crore in 2014 to Rs 18,000 crore by 2021. Noting that there are proper profits given for the workers, mega handloom clusters have been set up.” Having set up a cluster at Mangalagiri, in Guntur District, the Minister assured to set up a handloom cluster in Ponduru as well. With a large number of handloom workers present in and around Ponduru, Nirmala Sitharaman advised the officials of NABARD, and existing lead banks, to sanction loans to the maximum number of artisans.
