Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday commended Union Minister of State for Textiles, Pabitra Margherita, for his reflections on the dynamic progress of India’s handloom sector.
The Prime Minister’s Office (PMO), through a post on a social media platform, shared Margherita’s article that details how India is blending its rich traditions with modern innovation to shape a globally inspiring handloom industry.
Taking to X, the PMO posted, “Union Minister of State for Textiles, Shri @PmargheritaBJP, writes about the growth of the textile sector in Bharat. He explains how, by weaving together heritage, innovation and collective effort, India’s handloom sector stands poised to inspire the world. Do read!”
With National Handloom Day approaching, Margherita highlighted how the sector has transformed through focused policy support from the Union government.
He further emphasised that this transformation aligns with the vision of Prime Minister Modi to integrate handlooms into the everyday lives of Indians.
Taking to X, the Minister posted, “With one day to go for #NationalHandloomDay, I write on the growth of the textiles sector in Bharat owing to a series of targeted interventions from the Union government and as envisioned by our Hon’ble PM Shri @narendramodi Ji to make handlooms a key part of our daily lives.”

Margherita further added, “From the looms of North East India to innovations in AI-driven design, the story of India’s handlooms reflects resilience, empowerment, and boundless creativity.”
