Antaran is a key intervention of the Tata Trusts? craft-based livelihood programme, initiated to bring seminal changes in the development of the crafts sector. This comprehensive programme aims to rejuvenate ailing handloom clusters through an end-to-end programme. The overarching objective of this intervention is to transform six pilot weaving clusters by creating entrepreneur-led microenterprises across each element of the value chain. Three handloom clusters, one each in Odisha, Assam and Nagaland, states known for their rich cultural weaves, were chosen in the first year. Incubation and Design Centres (IDCs) are opened in these three pilot states as a one-stop destination for buyers, designers, researchers and lovers of traditional crafts. Antaran works towards gradually building the core strength of handloom textiles such as natural fibres, hand-spun yarn, natural dyes and in weaving different designs in these selected clusters. The initiative works to educate artisans on design and business, as well as to empower weavers towards entrepreneurship and self-employment.
