On an average, 90% of the weavers are working under PWCSs. The state of West Bengal has four handloom divisions: Kolkata, Burdwan, Presidency, North Bengal, which includes 2215 registered PWCSs, out of these 453 PWCSs are active. Purba Medinipur, Burdwan, Nadia, and Coochbehar have the highest concentration of active PWCSs in the aforesaid divisions, respectively. I have selected these four districts for the study. The prime aim of the study is to assess the present scenario and to analyze the problems and prospects of the handloom industry in West Bengal with reference to the active PWCSs.
