Open Letter 
To Smt Umashree,
Member of Karnataka State Legislative Council.
Bengaluru.


Namaskara Madam,

On behalf of our community I wish to congratulate you on your nomination as a member of Karnataka's legislative council.

I am writing on behalf of the vibrant community of weavers in our state who have been an integral part of our cultural heritage and local economy for generations. 

As a dedicated advocate for the well-being of our community's Weavers. I humbly request your continued support and sustained assistance for our community of weavers.

Our weavers possess a unique skillset that has been passed down through families for centuries, contributing to the rich tapestry of our cultural identity. 

However, in recent times, our weavers have faced numerous challenges that threaten the survival of their craft. Economic fluctuations, changing consumer preferences, and increased competition from mass-produced goods have placed significant strain on their livelihoods.

The COVID-19 pandemic has further exacerbated these challenges, causing disruptions in the supply chain, a decline in sales, and a loss of income for many weavers. Without timely intervention and support, we risk losing not only a precious cultural tradition but also a source of income for countless families in our community.

I implore you to consider the following requests to help sustain our community's weavers:

1. Financial Assistance: 
Provide targeted financial aid to help weavers overcome their Perennial shortage of funds, ensuring they can continue their craft and support their families.

2. Skill Development Programs: 
Fund initiatives that offer training and resources to help weavers adapt to modern market trends, empowering them to create products that resonate with contemporary consumers.

3. Market Access: 
Facilitate opportunities for our weavers to showcase their products at local fairs, markets, and exhibitions, connecting them directly with potential customers.

4. Marketing Support: 
Allocate resources to create marketing campaigns that raise awareness about the value of handwoven products and promote the unique stories behind each piece.

5. Infrastructure Investment: Support the establishment or improvement of communal weaving centers, providing a space for weavers to work collaboratively and share their expertise.

I believe that your continued support and dedication to our community of weavers will not only preserve our cultural heritage but also stimulate economic growth within our state. By nurturing this vital craft, we can ensure a brighter future for our weavers and their families.

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I eagerly await your positive response and look forward to working together to secure a thriving future for our weavers.

Sincerely,
GaviRangappa S P 
Devanga's Vidhana, and
The Warp and  Weft Society
Bengaluru.

.On behalf of the members of Devanga Sangha, Devanga Hostel Road Bengaluru, I wish to express my sincere gratitude to our founding members for devoting their time and resources for establishing Devanga Sangha Bengaluru in the year 1923/24.

The founder of basketball was late Dr. James Naismith, an Canadian physical education instructor. He invented the game in 1891 while working at the YMCA Training School in Springfield, Massachusetts, USA. Naismith was tasked with creating a new indoor game to keep his students physically active during the winter months.
