\na) Basket making:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Baskets made of bamboo and eetha chettu leaves require simple investment.<\/li>\n
  2. Basket makers are using very few materials mostly made of natural sources.<\/li>\n
  3. But many plastic industries produce goods like baskets with cheap rates.<\/li>\n
  4. So the demand for such products has reduced considerably.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      1. Polaiah\u2019s family came to Kandukuru to sell baskets and earn money.<\/li>\n
      2. a) Polaiah lives in a slum that does not have proper drainage, emits a foul smell and breeds mosquitoes and flies.
        \nb) The Municipal Corporation officials sometimes evict Polaiah and another basket

        Question 6.
        \nWhy do you think patenting Dharmavaram silk saree weaving would help weavers in and around Dharmavaram?
        \nAnswer:<\/p>\n

          \n
        1. Dharmavaram is a small town in Ananthapur district in Andhra Pradesh.<\/li>\n

          Question 7.
          \nShould weavers procure raw materials, weave silk sarees and sell them directly to the people? What are the challenges in it?
          \n(or)
          \nHandloom weavers are facing a serious problem. They face stiff competition from power loom and mill made cloth, these are cheaper as they are produced on machines and also because they use synthetic yarn which is cheaper than cotton or silk even though it is popular due to its high quality and unique beauty, the Dharmavaram saree seems to be expensive. But weavers do not get a good rate due to middle men’s involvement.
          \nComment on the problems of weavers.
          \nAnswer:
          \nHandloom weavers are facing many problems.<\/p>\n

            \n
          1. They face stiff competition from power loom and mill made cloth. Because these are cheaper as they are produced on machines.<\/li>\n
          2. The weavers are not getting their cost rate due to middle men\u2019s involvement.<\/li>\n
          3. Their buyers are spread all over the world and they do not have direct contact with them.<\/li>\n
          4. Fashions in the cities change fast.<\/li>\n
          5. It is difficult for the weavers to know what kind of design are in demand.<\/li>\n
          6. Therefore they have to rely on middlemen to know about the designs.<\/li>\n
          7. Raw materials like cotton or silk yarn are produced in faraway centres.<\/li>\n
          8. So the weavers have to depend on middlemen for getting raw materials.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            Question 8.
