Participating in the meeting, Collector RV Karnan informed to provide Nethanna ku Bima scheme to weavers on the lines of Rythu Bima being provided to farmers.
First ever in the country, Rythu Bima is being provided to farmers and in similar way, Nethanna ku Bima would be provided to the weaving community, he said, a majority of the weavers were above the age of 60 years and will bring it to the notice of the State government.

It was a classic example of how the Khadi movement had played a vital role in Independent agitation. Emblem of Ratnam, one of the sub-tools in the loom, was also included in the national flag, Karnan added.
