We are pleased to inform you that the Department of Handloom, Textiles and Handicrafts, Government of Odisha, in collaboration with Rotary Club of Bhubaneswar is launching a highly ambitious and challenging mission to cover the entire Weaver and Artisan community of Odisha within a record period of three months. This innovative programme, the first of its kind in the country, aims to cover a population of nearly 1,50,000 weavers and artisans. As part of this initiative, we have planned to provide approximately 30,000 eyeglasses to mitigate refractive error–related vision problems. The eyeglasses will include near-vision glasses. We have committed ourselves to mobilising resources for 10,000 R2C glasses for our proud weavers and artisans of Odisha. Their exceptional craftsmanship has brought international recognition to our state, and this small humanitarian support will help reduce occupational eye hazards and enable them to produce better-quality products.
