Understanding National Handloom Day
National Handloom Day is an important day celebrated in India to honor the handloom weaving community and highlight the contribution of the handloom industry to the country's socio-economic development. This day also serves as a reminder of the rich tradition of handlooms and the need to preserve this craft.
The date for National Handloom Day holds historical significance. It was on this day in 1905 that the Swadeshi Movement was officially launched at the Calcutta Town Hall. The Swadeshi Movement promoted indigenous products, including handloom fabrics, as a protest against the partition of Bengal by the British Government.
To commemorate this historical event and recognize the vital role of handlooms, the Government of India declared 7th August as National Handloom Day. The first National Handloom Day was celebrated in 2015.
Therefore, National Handloom Day is celebrated on 7th August every year.
