Tussar weaving remains a dying art with the Maharashtra State Handlooms Corporation (MSHC) having only 80 weavers living in villages of Nagpur and Bhandara districts. Majority of them are above 60 years of age. As the number is fast diminishing, the corporation has started the process to bring forth a new generation of Tussar weavers.
With Shilpa Agrawal, the Nagpur woman who was crowned Mrs Universe Lovely, wearing a dress made of Tussar in the contest, MSHC is hoping that it will boost this handwoven fabric of Vidarbha.
