Weaver : Musir Story
“I used to weave at a master weaver’s place before I came in touch with Chanderiyaan. We do not have space for looms at home; hence weaving at a master weaver’s place was the only option. I also had a monthly loss of Rs. 600-800 due to unavailability of designs and raw material in time working at those places”.

Weaver : Wasim Story
“Currently I am weaving for Chanderiyaan and am able to save more than Rs. 5,000 monthly. This has really helped me paying my housing rent. Moreover, the idle sittings due to unavailability of raw materials or design aren’t there. This leads to an efficient working environment and effective weaving.”
