| Abstract: | Handloom industry is one of those few cottage industries where practically all the family members are involved in either weaving or allied activities. However, in India handlooms mean much more than its literal meaning. Indian handlooms stand for an ancient craft with a rich heritage and at the same time is a great source of sustenance for millions of artisans across the country. The decline of handlooms industry that began during the second half of the 19th century continued during the first four decades of the 20th century. This is when the mill made yarn industry started growing rapidly. Indian history stands witness to the pertinent position that the handloom sector has occupied in its economy at every juncture leading to numerous studies on region-specific handloom industry throughout the country. They have primarily been individual studies without a comparative analysis between different regions; a gap that the present study aims to bridge. With the objective to understand comparatively the health hazards and working conditions of the handloom weavers, the present study has used an exploratory research design and data have been collected through an interview schedule from two sampling units of handloom weavers (100 respondents from Gopalpur in Jajapur district of Odisha and 100 respondents from Ilkal in Bagalkot district of Karnataka). The research compared the health situation of the weavers in both Jajapur district of Odisha and Bagalkot district of Karnataka. With long manual working hours involved lower back pain was prevalent. The other common health issue found was poor eyesight and many of them had quit weaving. However, not all of them took health seriously. Moreover, the weavers are not covered under any health insurance which makes health more inaccessible as health opportunities are expensive in India. |
