A two-day National Handloom Show 2008, which begins here on November 28, would offer a platform for the weavers to showcase their products.

The event is being organised by the Thiruvananthapuram cluster of the Integrated Handloom Cluster Development Programme, in association with the Commissioner of Handlooms, Hantex and the Kerala Directorate of Handlooms and Textiles.

About 500 products will be on display produced by handloom societies, Hanveev, Hantex, self help groups of Thanima Project and Krithika Project. It is expected that over 200 buyers from around 135 organisations across the country will attend the show.

The programme will also have as part of it a product exhibition, lifestyle exhibition, buyer–seller meet, seminars on handloom industry, photo exhibition on handlooms, adoption of looms, and a fashion show. State industries minister Elamaram Kareem will inaugurate the event.
