Khadi and Village Industries Commission (KVIC), inaugurated the first Silk Processing Plant at Surendranagar in Gujarat which would increase the sale and availability of raw material for Gujarati Patola Sarees locally.
About:
Patola, the trademark Saree of Gujarat, is considered to be very costly and worn only by the Royals or the Aristocrat.
Reason being the raw material silk yarn is purchased from Karnataka or West Bengal, where silk processing units are situated, thus increasing the cost of the fabric manifolds.
Now, cocoons will be brought from Karnataka and West Bengal and Silk yarn will be processed in house, thus reducing the cost of production and giving a major boost to the sale of famous Gujarati Patola Sarees.
